ordinário در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Noun 'ordinário' means a vulgar, crude, or ill-mannered person.
- It's a negative term for someone lacking refinement or good taste.
- Avoid confusing it with the English 'ordinary' (common, usual).
- Used to criticize offensive behavior or low-quality things.
- Primary Meaning
- When used as a noun, 'ordinário' primarily refers to someone or something that is vulgar, crude, or lacking in refinement. It carries a negative connotation, suggesting ill manners, poor taste, or a general lack of sophistication. It's often used to describe behavior or language that is considered offensive or distasteful in polite society.
- Context of Use
- You'll typically hear 'ordinário' used in informal settings to express disapproval of someone's actions, words, or even their appearance if it's perceived as excessively unkempt or uncouth. It can also describe objects or situations that are considered cheap, low-quality, or in bad taste. For instance, a person might be called 'ordinário' for making rude jokes, using offensive language, or behaving disruptively in public. Similarly, a cheap, gaudy piece of jewelry could be described as 'ordinário'.
- Nuance
- While the core meaning revolves around vulgarity, the intensity can vary. Sometimes it's a mild expression of distaste, while other times it's a strong condemnation. The context and tone of voice are crucial in understanding the exact weight of the word. It's important to note that this is generally a derogatory term and should be used with caution, as it can be quite insulting.
- Examples
- A fight breaking out in a bar might be described as an 'ordinário' scene. A person who consistently interrupts others and speaks loudly could be labeled an 'ordinário'. Even a poorly made, tasteless souvenir could be referred to as 'ordinário'.
Aquele homem é um ordinário com todas as pessoas que ele encontra.
- Figurative Use
- Beyond literal vulgarity, 'ordinário' can sometimes be used to describe something so common or unexceptional that it's almost boring, though this is a less frequent usage and often overlaps with the adjective form. However, when used as a noun, the primary connotation remains negative, focusing on low quality or poor taste.
Não seja um ordinário e espere o seu turno.
- Direct Description
- The most straightforward use of 'ordinário' as a noun is to directly label someone as vulgar or crude. This is often done with a tone of disgust or strong disapproval. For example, 'Ele é um ordinário!' (He is a vulgar person!) is a common way to express this.
- Describing Behavior
- It can also be used to describe a specific action or behavior as 'ordinário'. In this case, it functions as a noun referring to the quality of the action. For instance, 'O comportamento dele foi um ordinário.' (His behavior was vulgar/crude.)
- Referring to Things
- While less common for objects than for people, 'ordinário' can sometimes be used to describe something of very low quality or in poor taste, implying it's cheap and unrefined. 'Este presente é um ordinário.' (This gift is a vulgar/tacky thing.)
- In Exclamations
- It's frequently used in exclamatory sentences to convey strong emotion. 'Que ordinário!' (How vulgar!) is a common exclamation when witnessing something offensive or rude.
- In Social Commentary
- In discussions about social norms or etiquette, 'ordinário' can be used to critique a lack of civility or refinement in society. 'A falta de educação nas ruas mostra o quanto a sociedade se tornou ordinária.' (The lack of manners on the streets shows how much society has become vulgar.)
Não quero ter nada a ver com esse tipo de ordinário.
A festa estava cheia de gente ordinária.
- Informal Conversations
- 'Ordinário' is a word you'll frequently encounter in casual conversations among Portuguese speakers, particularly when people are expressing their opinions about others' behavior or social conduct. It's a common term used to describe someone who lacks manners, is rude, or behaves in a way that is considered socially unacceptable.
- Public Spaces
- You might overhear it in public places like bars, cafes, or on public transport, often as a muttered comment or an exasperated remark about someone's disruptive or impolite actions. For example, someone cutting in line might be silently (or not so silently) labeled an 'ordinário' by onlookers.
- Media and Entertainment
- In Brazilian telenovelas, reality shows, or everyday dramas, characters might use 'ordinário' to insult or criticize each other, especially in scenes depicting social conflict or class differences. It's a word that adds a layer of realism and often a touch of dramatic flair to character interactions.
- Online Forums and Social Media
- When people are discussing controversial topics or reacting to news, 'ordinário' can appear in comments sections or social media posts to describe individuals or groups perceived as acting inappropriately or lacking civility. It's a quick way to express strong disapproval.
- Family Gatherings
- In more relaxed family settings, especially among adults, it might be used to describe a relative or acquaintance whose behavior is consistently unrefined or embarrassing. This usage often carries a tone of shared exasperation or amusement.
Ouvi o vizinho chamar o outro de ordinário porque ele jogou lixo na rua.
Aquele apresentador de TV é um verdadeiro ordinário.
- Confusing Noun and Adjective
- A common mistake for learners is to use 'ordinário' as a noun when they intend to use it as an adjective, or vice versa. Remember, as a noun, it refers to a person or a thing that embodies vulgarity. As an adjective, it describes a quality. For example, saying 'Ele é ordinário' (He is vulgar - adjective) is correct, but saying 'Ele é um vulgar' (He is a vulgar person) would be a better translation for 'Ele é um ordinário' (He is a vulgar person - noun). The noun form 'ordinário' directly labels the person.
- Overuse or Misuse
- Because it's a strong negative term, overuse can dilute its impact or make the speaker sound overly critical or even rude themselves. Learners might mistakenly use it to describe minor inconveniences or things they simply don't like, when a milder term would be more appropriate. It's meant for genuinely vulgar or crude situations/people.
- Ignoring Context and Tone
- 'Ordinário' can be a very insulting word. Using it without considering the social context or the tone of voice can lead to misunderstandings or offense. A casual remark made in jest might be interpreted as a serious accusation if the tone is not clear. Conversely, a serious accusation might be dismissed if delivered too lightly.
- Literal Translation Issues
- Directly translating the English word 'ordinary' into Portuguese might lead to 'ordinário', but the meanings are quite different. In English, 'ordinary' often means common or usual. In Portuguese, 'ordinário' as a noun almost exclusively means vulgar or crude. So, a sentence like 'It was an ordinary day' should not be translated as 'Foi um dia ordinário' (which would imply a vulgar day), but rather 'Foi um dia comum' or 'Foi um dia normal'.
- Assuming Universality of Meaning
- While the primary meaning is vulgarity, regional variations or specific subcultures might use the term with slightly different nuances. However, for a learner, it's safest to stick to the primary meaning of vulgar, rude, or crude, and avoid using it in contexts where its meaning might be ambiguous or misconstrued.
Mistake: Este dia foi muito ordinário.
Correct: Este dia foi muito comum.
- Vulgar / Crude
- Semelhantes: 'Grosseiro' (rude, coarse), 'Mal-educado' (ill-mannered), 'Ignorante' (in this context, meaning rude or uncultured).
Diferença: 'Grosseiro' often implies a lack of refinement in manners and speech. 'Mal-educado' is a direct translation for ill-mannered. 'Ignorante' can be more general but used to mean someone who lacks social graces. 'Ordinário' often carries a stronger sense of vulgarity and poor taste, sometimes even cheapness. - Low Quality / Common
- Semelhantes: 'Comum' (common), 'Normal' (normal), 'Corrente' (current, common).
Diferença: These words are used when 'ordinário' is mistakenly thought to mean 'ordinary' in the English sense of usual or common. 'Comum', 'normal', and 'corrente' describe something that is not special or rare. They lack the negative connotation of vulgarity that 'ordinário' carries when used as a noun. For example, 'um dia comum' (a common day) is very different from calling someone 'um ordinário'. - Tacky / In Bad Taste
- Semelhantes: 'Cafona' (tacky, kitsch - primarily Brazilian slang), 'Brega' (tacky, in bad taste - more common in Portugal and some parts of Brazil).
Diferença: 'Cafona' and 'brega' specifically refer to something that is in bad taste, often in terms of fashion, decor, or artistic expression. They are more about aesthetic judgment. 'Ordinário', when used for things, can encompass bad taste but also implies low quality and a lack of refinement. - Disrespectful / Insolent
- Semelhantes: 'Desrespeitoso' (disrespectful), 'Insolente' (insolent).
Diferença: While an 'ordinário' person is often disrespectful and insolent, these terms focus more directly on the act of showing disrespect or defiance. 'Ordinário' is a broader label for a person characterized by vulgarity, which often includes disrespect, but isn't limited to it.
Ele é um ordinário.
Ele é um grosseiro.
Ele é mal-educado.

نکته جالب
Interestingly, the Portuguese word 'ordinário' has diverged significantly in meaning from its Latin ancestor, especially when used as a noun. While the adjective form can sometimes retain the sense of 'common' or 'usual' (though 'comum' is more frequent), the noun form has taken on a strongly negative connotation of vulgarity and crudeness. This is a common phenomenon in language evolution where words can shift their semantic fields dramatically over time.

سطح دشواری
Recognizing 'ordinário' as a noun meaning vulgar or crude is crucial for comprehension. Learners might initially confuse it with the English 'ordinary', leading to misunderstandings. Understanding its negative connotation is key.
Using 'ordinário' correctly as a noun requires understanding its specific negative meaning and grammatical function. Incorrectly using it to mean 'common' or 'usual' is a common pitfall. Differentiating it from its adjectival form also adds complexity.
Pronunciation is straightforward, but using the word appropriately in spoken Portuguese requires cultural awareness. It's a strong term, and its misuse can lead to offense. Learners should practice using it in safe, controlled contexts.
The pronunciation is relatively easy to recognize. The main challenge is understanding the negative meaning and the context in which it's used, especially when contrasted with the English word 'ordinary'.

اغلب اشتباه گرفته میشود با
The primary confusion arises from the similar spelling and sound. English 'ordinary' means common, usual, or not special. Portuguese 'ordinário' as a noun means vulgar, rude, or crude. This distinction is critical for learners.
While 'comum' means common or usual, 'ordinário' as an adjective can sometimes imply commonness, but as a noun, it's exclusively negative. Using 'ordinário' when you mean 'comum' is a significant error.
Similar to 'comum', 'normal' means usual or standard. 'Ordinário' is far from normal in a positive sense; it denotes a deviation into vulgarity.

Informal/Proverbialبهراحتی اشتباه گرفته میشود
Direct cognate with English 'ordinary', which has a different primary meaning.
Portuguese 'ordinário' (noun) means vulgar, crude, or ill-mannered person. English 'ordinary' means common, usual, or not special. The meanings have diverged significantly.
Portuguese: 'Ele é um ordinário.' (He is a vulgar person.) English: 'It was an ordinary day.' (Foi um dia comum/normal.)
Both words describe rudeness and lack of refinement.
'Grosseiro' often focuses on coarse manners and speech. 'Ordinário' can encompass this but also implies a deeper vulgarity, poor taste, and lack of sophistication, sometimes even cheapness.
'Ele é um grosseiro' implies he is rough and rude. 'Ele é um ordinário' implies he is vulgar and lacks class.
Both words relate to a lack of good manners.
'Mal-educado' is a direct translation of 'ill-mannered' or 'impolite'. 'Ordinário' is a stronger term, suggesting a more pervasive vulgarity and crudeness beyond just simple impoliteness.
Someone who doesn't say 'please' is 'mal-educado'. Someone who shouts obscenities and behaves disruptively is 'ordinário'.
Very close in meaning, both referring to crudeness and lack of refinement.
'Vulgar' is often used more broadly to describe language, content, or behavior that is offensive or in bad taste. 'Ordinário' as a noun specifically labels a person (or sometimes a thing) as embodying this vulgarity, often with a stronger implication of cheapness or low quality.
A language can be 'vulgar'. A person can be 'ordinário' because of their vulgar language and behavior.
The similarity in spelling with English 'ordinary' leads learners to equate it with 'comum' (common).
'Comum' means usual, frequent, or not special. 'Ordinário' (noun) means vulgar, crude, or ill-mannered. They are opposites in connotation.
Portuguese: 'Foi um dia comum.' (It was a common/usual day.) DO NOT say: 'Foi um dia ordinário.' (This implies it was a vulgar day.)

Stress the Second Syllable
The stress in 'ordinário' falls on the second syllable: or-DI-na-ry. Practice saying it aloud: or-DI-na-ri-o. This will help you sound more natural and avoid confusion with other words.
Create a Visual Contrast
Imagine a very elegant, sophisticated person next to someone who is unkempt, loud, and speaks crudely. The second person is the 'ordinário'. This strong visual contrast can help you remember the negative connotation.
Noun vs. Adjective
Remember that 'ordinário' can be a noun (a vulgar person) or an adjective (vulgar behavior/thing). Pay attention to the article ('um ordinário' vs. 'comportamento ordinário') to understand its function in the sentence.
Build a Negative Lexicon
When learning 'ordinário', also learn its antonyms like 'elegante', 'refinado', and 'sofisticado'. This helps create a semantic map, reinforcing the meaning by contrast.
Understand Social Norms
The use of 'ordinário' reflects cultural values regarding politeness and refinement. Understanding these norms will help you grasp why this word is used and how sensitive it can be.
Listen and Imitate
Listen to native speakers using 'ordinário' in movies, songs, or conversations. Try to imitate their pronunciation and the context in which they use the word. This active listening is crucial for mastering its usage.

Recall that 'ordinário' comes from a word meaning 'orderly' or 'customary'. The shift to 'vulgar' is a fascinating example of semantic change in language. This historical context can aid memory.
Scenario Practice
