valer در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Valer means 'to be worth' or 'to be valid'.
- It is used for prices, rules, and the expression 'valer a pena'.
- The first person singular is irregular: 'eu valho'.
- In Brazil, 'valeu' is a common informal way to say 'thanks'.
The Portuguese verb valer is a multifaceted gem in the Lusophone linguistic crown, primarily functioning to denote the value, worth, or validity of an object, idea, or action. At its core, it translates to 'to be worth' in a financial sense, but its semantic range extends far beyond the price tag. When you ask 'Quanto vale isto?', you are inquiring about the monetary value. However, the verb also encompasses the concept of utility and merit. It is derived from the Latin valere, which meant 'to be strong' or 'to be well'—a root it shares with words like 'valiant' and 'valid'. This historical strength is still felt today; when something 'valer', it possesses a certain power or standing. In everyday conversation, it is the cornerstone of the ubiquitous expression 'valer a pena' (to be worth the effort/pain), which is used to justify actions and decisions. Understanding 'valer' requires recognizing that value is not always about currency; it can be about the weight of a rule in a game, the importance of a person's word, or the effectiveness of a remedy.
- Financial Value
- Refers to the market price or cost of an item. Example: 'Este relógio vale uma fortuna.'
- Validity and Rules
- Indicates if an action is permitted or if a point counts in a game. Example: 'Este golo não valeu.'
- Utility and Merit
- Describes the usefulness or the intrinsic worth of a situation. Example: 'O esforço valeu a pena.'
A sua palavra vale mais do que qualquer contrato assinado.
Quanto vale o euro hoje em relação ao real?

Tudo vale quando a alma não é pequena.
Aquele conselho valeu ouro para a minha carreira.
Using valer correctly involves navigating its irregular conjugation and its various prepositional requirements. In the present indicative, the 'eu' form is 'valho', which often surprises learners. For most other persons, it follows a regular pattern (tu vales, ele vale, nós valemos, eles valem). When discussing price, it is often used transitively: 'O carro vale dez mil euros'. However, its most common idiomatic use, 'valer a pena', requires the preposition 'a'. This phrase literally means 'to be worth the pain', but is used exactly like 'to be worth it' in English. Another important structure is 'fazer valer', meaning to enforce or to make something count, such as 'fazer valer os seus direitos' (to enforce one's rights). In a more formal or literary context, you might encounter the pronominal form 'valer-se de', which means to make use of or to resort to something. For example, 'Ele valeu-se da sua influência para conseguir o emprego'. This versatility makes 'valer' an essential verb for expressing value judgments, legal status, and personal resourcefulness.
- Direct Value
- Subject + Valer + Value. 'A casa vale muito.'
- The 'Pena' Construction
- Valer a pena + [Infinitive/Noun]. 'Vale a pena estudar.'
- Resorting to something
- Valer-se de + [Noun]. 'Valeu-se de mentiras.'
Eu valho pelo que sou, não pelo que tenho.
Será que vale a pena comprar este telemóvel?
As regras valem para todos os jogadores.
You will encounter valer in almost every corner of Portuguese-speaking life. In a bustling market in Lisbon or a supermarket in São Paulo, the question 'Quanto vale?' or 'Quanto custa?' is the standard way to initiate a transaction. On the news, financial analysts discuss how much the currency 'vale' against the dollar. In the world of sports, particularly football, commentators often argue whether a goal 'valeu' (was valid) or if a foul was committed. In social settings, 'valeu' is a ubiquitous informal greeting or thank-you in Brazil, often accompanied by a thumbs-up. In literature and music, the verb is used to explore themes of existential worth—Fernando Pessoa's famous line 'Tudo vale a pena se a alma não é pequena' is perhaps the most iconic use of the verb in the Portuguese language. Whether you are negotiating a contract, playing a game of cards with friends, or expressing gratitude, 'valer' is the linguistic currency you will need.
- Obrigado pela ajuda! - Valeu, cara!
O juiz disse que o ponto não valeu.
Este bilhete já não vale, está fora do prazo.
One of the most frequent pitfalls for learners is the irregular conjugation of valer in the first person singular of the present indicative. Many students mistakenly say 'eu valo' instead of the correct 'eu valho'. This 'lh' insertion is a common feature in several irregular Portuguese verbs (like ouvir becoming ouço or pedir becoming peço, though the change is different here). Another common error involves the expression 'valer a pena'. English speakers often forget the preposition 'a' and say 'vale pena', which sounds incomplete to a native ear. Furthermore, there is often confusion between 'valer' and 'custar'. While 'custar' specifically refers to the price paid, 'valer' refers to the value of the object itself. An item might 'custar' (cost) 10 euros but 'valer' (be worth) 100 euros. Lastly, learners sometimes struggle with the negative use in games; 'não vale' is the standard way to say 'that's not fair' or 'that's against the rules', and using other verbs like 'não é justo' is correct but less common in a playful context.
- Conjugation Error
- Incorrect: 'Eu valo'. Correct: 'Eu valho'.
- Missing Preposition
- Incorrect: 'Vale pena ir'. Correct: 'Vale a pena ir'.
- Valer vs. Custar
- 'Custar' is the price; 'Valer' is the value.
While valer is unique, it shares semantic space with several other verbs. Custar is its closest neighbor regarding finance, but it focuses on the expense rather than the value. Merecer (to deserve) is often used in similar contexts of worthiness, but it focuses on the subject's right to something rather than the object's value. Servir (to serve/be useful) can sometimes replace 'valer' when discussing utility, as in 'isto não vale nada' vs 'isto não serve para nada'. In a legal or official sense, vigorar (to be in force) is a more formal synonym for 'valer' when referring to laws or rules. Understanding these nuances helps in choosing the right word for the right level of formality and specific meaning.
- Valer vs. Custar
- Valer is intrinsic value; Custar is the transaction price.
- Valer vs. Merecer
- Valer is 'to be worth'; Merecer is 'to deserve'.
