jurar در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Jurar means to swear or make a solemn promise.
- It implies a very strong commitment.
- Used for serious vows, oaths, or strong assertions of truth.
- Stronger than 'prometer' (to promise).
- Meaning
- The Portuguese verb 'jurar' means to make a solemn promise, often involving a divine witness or a strong personal commitment. It implies a serious pledge that the speaker intends to keep, often with a sense of invoking a higher power or a deep personal conviction to ensure the promise is fulfilled. It's used when someone wants to emphasize the absolute certainty and seriousness of their commitment, whether it's a personal vow, a declaration of truth, or a pledge of loyalty.
- When to Use
- You would use 'jurar' when you want to express an unbreakable promise. For instance, if you swear to tell the truth in a formal setting, or if you make a deep personal vow to someone, like promising to love and protect them forever. It can also be used to emphasize the certainty of a statement, almost like saying 'I swear it's true'. It carries a weightier connotation than a simple 'prometer' (to promise) because it suggests a higher level of commitment and seriousness, often with an implicit appeal to conscience or a higher power.
Eu juro que direi toda a verdade, nada além da verdade.
Ela jurou lealdade ao seu país.
Eu juro que nunca mais farei isso!
- Connotation
- The verb 'jurar' carries a strong sense of conviction and solemnity. It's not a casual word and is reserved for promises that are meant to be taken very seriously. In many cultures, especially those with religious influences, making a 'jura' (a sworn statement or promise) is a significant act, often involving invoking God or a sacred entity as a witness.
- Grammatical Use
- 'Jurar' is a regular -ar verb in Portuguese. It conjugates like other verbs ending in -ar, with the stem 'jur-' and standard endings for different tenses and persons. For example, in the present tense, it's 'eu juro', 'tu juras', 'ele/ela jura', 'nós juramos', 'vós jurais', 'eles/elas juram'. The past participle is 'jurado'.
- Declarations of Truth
- One of the most common uses of 'jurar' is to emphatically state one's belief in the truth of something. It's akin to saying 'I swear it's true' or 'I'll bet my life on it' in English. This usage adds a layer of conviction to a statement that might otherwise be doubted. It can be used in everyday conversation to emphasize a point or in more formal settings to attest to a fact. For example, when someone is recounting an unbelievable event, they might say 'Eu juro que isso aconteceu!' (I swear that happened!). This usage is particularly strong when the speaker wants to convince others of something they know to be true but might seem far-fetched.
- Formal Oaths and Vows
- In formal settings, 'jurar' is used for official oaths and solemn vows. This includes courtroom testimonies, military enlistments, and marriage ceremonies. When someone 'jura' in these contexts, they are making a profound commitment, often with legal or societal ramifications. For example, a witness in court might 'jurar' to tell the truth. Similarly, in a wedding, a couple might 'jurar' eternal love and fidelity. These are serious pronouncements that carry significant weight and are not made lightly.
- Personal Pledges and Commitments
- Beyond formal situations, 'jurar' can also be used for strong personal pledges made to oneself or to others in informal contexts. This might involve promising to change a bad habit, to help a friend in need, or to achieve a difficult goal. For instance, after making a mistake, someone might say, 'Eu juro que vou mudar!' (I swear I will change!). This type of 'jura' reflects a deep personal resolve and a commitment to a future course of action. It's a way of reinforcing one's own determination or assuring someone of your unwavering support.
Ele jurou que nunca mais voltaria a atrasar-se.
Nós juramos amizade eterna.
A testemunha jurou dizer a verdade.
- Legal and Formal Settings
- In Portuguese-speaking countries, you will frequently hear 'jurar' in courtrooms. Witnesses are often asked to 'jurar' before giving testimony, meaning they are formally swearing to tell the truth. This is a standard procedure in legal systems. You might also hear it in other formal ceremonies, such as military swearing-in ceremonies or when new citizens take an oath of allegiance. These are situations where a solemn promise is made, and 'jurar' is the appropriate verb to use.
- Personal Vows and Declarations
- Outside of formal settings, 'jurar' is often used in personal relationships to express deep commitment or absolute certainty. For example, in romantic contexts, partners might 'jurar' eternal love. Friends might 'jurar' loyalty to each other. In everyday conversation, people might use it to emphasize the truthfulness of a statement, especially if they suspect disbelief. For instance, if you tell a friend a surprising story, they might say, 'Eu juro que isso aconteceu!' to convey their conviction.
- Expressions of Frustration or Resolve
- Sometimes, 'jurar' is used to express strong resolve or a vow made in a moment of frustration or determination. For example, if someone is fed up with a bad habit, they might say, 'Eu juro que vou parar com isso!' (I swear I'm going to stop that!). This usage highlights a strong personal commitment to change or to take a specific action. It's a way of solidifying one's own intentions and making a pact with oneself.
No tribunal, o juiz pediu para a testemunha jurar.
Ele jurou que a culpa não era dele.
Prometemos que íamos nos ver em breve, e nós juramos manter contato.
- Confusing 'Jurar' with 'Prometer'
- A common mistake for learners is to use 'jurar' interchangeably with 'prometer' (to promise). While both involve making a commitment, 'jurar' is much stronger and more solemn. 'Prometer' can be used for everyday promises, like promising to call later, whereas 'jurar' is reserved for serious vows or declarations of absolute truth. Using 'jurar' for a casual promise can sound overly dramatic or insincere.
- Incorrect Verb Conjugation
- As 'jurar' is a regular '-ar' verb, its conjugation follows predictable patterns. However, learners might make mistakes with irregular conjugations or by applying the wrong endings. For example, saying 'eu juro' is correct for the present tense, but using an incorrect form like 'eu jura' or 'eu jurar' would be a mistake. Paying attention to the standard conjugations for regular '-ar' verbs in Portuguese is crucial.
- Overuse in Casual Conversation
- Another pitfall is overusing 'jurar' in casual conversation. Because it carries such a strong weight, its frequent use can dilute its impact and make the speaker sound insincere or overly dramatic. It's best to reserve 'jurar' for situations that genuinely warrant a solemn promise or a strong assertion of truth. For less serious statements, simpler verbs like 'dizer' (to say) or 'afirmar' (to affirm) might be more appropriate.
Incorrecto: Eu juro que vou te ligar mais tarde.
Incorrecto: Ele jurou ele viria.
- Prometer (to promise)
- 'Prometer' is the most common alternative and simply means 'to promise'. It is much less solemn than 'jurar'. You use 'prometer' for everyday commitments, like promising to bring a gift or promising to be on time. 'Jurar' implies a deeper, more serious commitment, often with a spiritual or moral weight. For example, 'Eu prometo que vou te ligar amanhã' (I promise I will call you tomorrow) is casual, while 'Eu juro que te amarei para sempre' (I swear I will love you forever) is a profound vow.
- Afirmar (to affirm/state)
- 'Afirmar' means to state or assert something with conviction. It's used when you want to present something as a fact. While 'jurar' can be used to assert truth, it adds the element of a solemn promise. 'Afirmar' is more neutral. For example, 'Ele afirmou que viu o acidente' (He affirmed that he saw the accident) is a statement of fact. If he had said, 'Eu juro que vi o acidente', it would imply a stronger, more personal pledge to the truth of his statement.
- Comprometer-se (to commit oneself)
- 'Comprometer-se' means to commit oneself to something. It's a more general term for taking on an obligation or responsibility. While 'jurar' is a specific type of solemn commitment, 'comprometer-se' can cover a wider range of obligations, from professional responsibilities to personal pledges. For instance, 'Ela se comprometeu a terminar o projeto' (She committed to finishing the project) is about a professional duty. 'Ela jurou terminar o projeto' would imply a very strong, personal vow to see it through, perhaps under difficult circumstances.
Eu prometo que vou te ajudar.
Eu juro que te ajudarei.
Ele afirmou conhecer a vítima.
Ela se comprometeu a ser mais pontual.

نکته جالب
The root word 'iūs' (law, right) also gives us English words like 'jury' and 'jurisdiction'. This highlights how oaths and sworn statements are deeply intertwined with legal systems and the concept of justice.
راهنمای تلفظ
- Pronouncing the 'j' as in 'jump' (like the English 'j'). It should be a 'zh' sound.
- Pronouncing the 'r' too strongly like the English 'r' at the end of a word; it should be a lighter flap or a rolled 'r'.
- Incorrectly stressing the first syllable.
- Confusing the vowel sound 'u' with the English 'u' in 'cup'.
سطح دشواری

Both verbs involve making a commitment for the future.
'Prometer' is a general verb for making a promise, which can be casual or serious. 'Jurar' is specifically for making a solemn promise or an oath, often with a higher moral or spiritual implication. Using 'jurar' for a casual promise sounds overly dramatic.
Eu prometo te ligar amanhã. (I promise to call you tomorrow - casual). Eu juro que vou te proteger. (I swear I will protect you - solemn vow).
Both can be used to state something with conviction.
'Afirmar' means to state a fact confidently. 'Jurar' goes beyond stating a fact; it's about making a pledge or oath that binds the speaker to the truth of that fact or to a future action. 'Jurar' has a much stronger, more personal and often solemn connotation.
Ele afirmou que não sabia de nada. (He stated that he knew nothing - factual assertion). Ele jurou que não sabia de nada. (He swore he knew nothing - implies a solemn pledge of truthfulness).
Both are used in formal, often legal, contexts to make a solemn declaration.
'Votar' specifically means 'to take an oath', often in a legal setting where one swears to tell the truth or fulfill a duty. 'Jurar' is a more general term for swearing or vowing, which can also be used outside of strict legal contexts for personal solemn promises.
A testemunha teve que 'votar' no tribunal. (The witness had to 'take an oath' in court). Ela 'jurou' nunca mais fazer isso. (She 'swore' never to do that again - personal vow).
Both are related to truth and evidence, especially in legal contexts.
'Testemunhar' means to bear witness or to testify, which is the act of providing evidence. One typically 'jura' (swears) to tell the truth *before* or *while* 'testemunhando' (testifying). 'Jurar' is the oath itself, while 'testemunhar' is the act of giving testimony.
O juiz pediu para a testemunha 'jurar' dizer a verdade antes de 'testemunhar'. (The judge asked the witness to 'swear' to tell the truth before 'testifying').
Both involve making a commitment.
'Comprometer-se' is a more general term for committing oneself to an action, responsibility, or obligation. 'Jurar' is a specific, highly solemn, and often deeply personal commitment, usually involving a pledge of absolute truth or an unbreakable vow.
Ele se 'comprometeu' a ajudar no projeto. (He 'committed' to help with the project - general obligation). Ele 'jurou' que terminaria o projeto. (He 'swore' he would finish the project - strong personal vow).

Moderately common, especially in contexts requiring strong commitment or truth assertion.
-
Using 'jurar' for casual promises.
→
Using 'prometer' for casual promises.
Learners often confuse 'jurar' (to swear/vow) with 'prometer' (to promise). 'Jurar' implies a solemn, serious commitment, often with moral or spiritual weight. Using it for something like 'I promise to call you later' is overly dramatic. For such casual promises, 'prometer' is the correct verb.
-
Incorrect conjugation, e.g., 'eu jura'.
→
Correct conjugation, e.g., 'eu juro'.
'Jurar' is a regular '-ar' verb. Mistakes often happen with the present tense conjugation. The correct forms are: eu <strong>juro</strong>, tu <strong>juras</strong>, ele/ela <strong>jura</strong>, nós <strong>juramos</strong>, vós <strong>jurais</strong>, eles/elas <strong>juram</strong>.
-
Confusing the meaning with 'to curse'.
→
Understanding 'jurar' as 'to swear' or 'to vow'.
While in English 'to swear' can sometimes mean to curse, in Portuguese, 'jurar' exclusively means to make a solemn promise or oath. The Portuguese word for cursing is 'amaldiçoar' or 'praguejar'.
-
Overusing 'jurar' for emphasis.
→
Using 'jurar' judiciously for genuine solemnity or strong conviction.
Because 'jurar' is so strong, using it too frequently in everyday conversation can dilute its impact and make the speaker sound insincere or overly dramatic. It's best reserved for situations that truly warrant a solemn promise or a powerful assertion of truth.
-
Incorrect use of prepositions or conjunctions.
→
Using 'que' after 'jurar' when introducing a clause, or using infinitives directly.
Common patterns include 'jurar que + clause' (e.g., 'Eu <strong>juro que</strong> não vi') or 'jurar + infinitive' (e.g., 'Ele <strong>jurou</strong> <strong>ajudar</strong>'). Incorrectly omitting 'que' or using the wrong verb form after 'jurar' are common errors.
نکات
Master the 'J' Sound
The Portuguese 'j' in 'jurar' sounds like the 's' in 'pleasure' or 'measure' (a 'zh' sound). Practice saying 'zhurar' to get the correct pronunciation. Avoid the English 'j' sound as in 'jump'.
Common Sentence Structures
Pay attention to how 'jurar' is used in sentences. It's often followed by 'que' and a clause (e.g., 'Eu juro que não fiz'), or directly by an infinitive verb (e.g., 'Ele jurou ajudar').
Visual Association
Imagine a judge in a courtroom holding up their hand and saying 'Eu juro'. This visual connects the word to its solemn, truth-affirming meaning.

'Jurar' vs. 'Prometer'

Listen Actively
When watching Portuguese movies or listening to music, pay attention to when 'jurar' is used. Notice the tone of voice and the situation to grasp its nuances.

ریشه کلمه
The Portuguese verb 'jurar' comes from the Latin word 'iūrāre', which means 'to swear'. This Latin verb itself is derived from 'iūs', meaning 'law' or 'right'. The connection to law and right emphasizes the formal and binding nature of an oath.
معنای اصلی: To swear, to take an oath, to affirm something solemnly, often invoking divine witness.
Indo-European > Italic > Latin > Romance > Portugueseبافت فرهنگی
While 'jurar' is a powerful verb, it should be used with discretion. Overuse in casual conversation can diminish its impact. In formal or religious contexts, making a false oath ('jurar falsamente') is considered a grave offense.
In English, 'to swear' carries a similar weight, especially in legal contexts ('to swear an oath'). However, 'to swear' can also be used more casually for emphasis ('I swear I didn't do it!'). 'Jurar' in Portuguese leans more towards the solemnity of 'to swear an oath' or 'to vow'.

سوالات متداول
10 سوالThe main difference lies in the level of solemnity and commitment. 'Prometer' (to promise) is a general term used for everyday promises, which can be casual or serious. 'Jurar' (to swear/vow) implies a much stronger, more solemn commitment, often with moral or spiritual weight. It's used for serious vows, oaths, or strong assertions of truth, suggesting a pledge that is not to be broken lightly.
'Jurar' is appropriate when making a solemn promise, taking an oath (especially in legal or formal settings), or making a strong, unwavering assertion of truth. It's also used for profound personal vows, like in romantic relationships or when expressing deep conviction about something.
Yes, but with caution. In everyday conversation, 'jurar' is often used for emphasis, similar to 'I swear!' in English. For example, 'Eu juro que não vi!' (I swear I didn't see it!). However, overuse in casual contexts can make it sound insincere or overly dramatic, so it's best reserved for moments when you truly want to emphasize your conviction.
Some common phrases include 'jurar de pés juntos' (to insist vehemently), 'jurar amor eterno' (to swear eternal love), 'jurar segredo' (to promise secrecy), and 'jurar dizer a verdade' (to swear to tell the truth, often in court).
'Jurar' is a regular '-ar' verb. In the present tense, it conjugates as: eu juro, tu juras, ele/ela/você jura, nós juramos, vós jurais, eles/elas/vocês juram. The past participle is 'jurado'.
Not necessarily. While 'jurar' can involve invoking a divine witness ('Juro por Deus'), it also signifies a strong personal commitment or an assertion of truth that doesn't require religious invocation. The core meaning is the solemnity and seriousness of the promise or statement.
'Votar' specifically means 'to take an oath', typically in a formal or legal context, such as swearing to tell the truth in court. 'Jurar' is a broader term for swearing or vowing, which can be used in both formal and personal contexts. Think of 'votar' as a specific type of 'jurar' in a legal setting.
Breaking a 'jura' (a sworn promise or oath) is considered a very serious matter, implying a breach of trust, honor, and integrity. In legal contexts, it can have severe consequences. In personal contexts, it can lead to a loss of credibility and damaged relationships.
Yes, sometimes. Just like in English where 'I swear!' can be used sarcastically, 'jurar' can be used ironically to highlight the absurdity of a situation or to mock someone's insincere promises. However, the default meaning is always one of seriousness.
The noun forms are 'juramento' (oath, vow) and 'jura' (a sworn statement or promise). For example, 'Ele fez um juramento.' (He made an oath.) or 'Ela deu sua jura de segredo.' (She gave her sworn promise of secrecy.)

The Portuguese verb 'jurar' signifies making a solemn promise or oath, implying a deep and serious commitment, often with a spiritual or moral weight. It is used for significant pledges and strong assertions of truth, distinguishing it from the more general 'prometer' (to promise).

- Stronger than 'prometer' (to promise).
Master the 'J' Sound
The Portuguese 'j' in 'jurar' sounds like the 's' in 'pleasure' or 'measure' (a 'zh' sound). Practice saying 'zhurar' to get the correct pronunciation. Avoid the English 'j' sound as in 'jump'.
Context is Key
Remember that 'jurar' is a strong word. Use it when you mean it! Compare it to 'prometer' (to promise). 'Jurar' is for solemn vows and absolute truths; 'prometer' can be for everyday commitments.
Common Sentence Structures
Pay attention to how 'jurar' is used in sentences. It's often followed by 'que' and a clause (e.g., 'Eu juro que não fiz'), or directly by an infinitive verb (e.g., 'Ele jurou ajudar').
Visual Association
Imagine a judge in a courtroom holding up their hand and saying 'Eu juro'. This visual connects the word to its solemn, truth-affirming meaning.
