Boiled; cooked by heating in boiling water or other liquid.
fervido 30 सेकंड में
- Fervido means boiled, used for food cooked in boiling water.
- It's the past participle of 'ferver' (to boil).
- Remember grammatical agreement: fervido, fervida, fervidos, fervidas.
- Common in cooking contexts: boiled eggs, boiled water.
The Portuguese word fervido is the past participle of the verb ferver, which means 'to boil'. As an adjective, fervido directly translates to 'boiled' in English. It's used to describe food or liquids that have been cooked or heated to the point of boiling. Think about cooking pasta, eggs, or vegetables in boiling water; the result is often described as fervido. It's a very common and straightforward adjective in Portuguese, used frequently in everyday conversations, especially when discussing cooking and food preparation.
- Culinary Context
- In the kitchen, fervido is essential. You'll hear about 'água fervida' (boiled water), 'ovos fervidos' (boiled eggs), or 'legumes fervidos' (boiled vegetables). It indicates a specific cooking method where the item has been submerged in water at its boiling point.
- Beyond the Kitchen
- While primarily used for food, fervido can sometimes be used metaphorically, though less commonly. For instance, a situation that is 'boiling' with tension might be described with related terms, but for the literal act of boiling, it's always about heat and liquid.
A água para o chá deve estar bem fervida.
Os ovos estão fervidos.
- Grammatical Agreement
- The adjective fervido changes its ending to match the noun it describes. For masculine singular nouns, it's fervido. For feminine singular nouns, it's fervida. For masculine plural nouns, it's fervidos. For feminine plural nouns, it's fervidas. This grammatical agreement is crucial for correct usage.
As cenouras estão fervidas.
Using fervido in sentences is quite straightforward, especially when talking about food preparation. The key is to remember its agreement with the noun it modifies. Here are several ways to incorporate it into your Portuguese vocabulary:
- Describing Food Items
- This is the most common usage. You'll often hear about specific dishes or ingredients that have been boiled.
Eu gosto de batatas fervidas com um pouco de sal.
- Referring to Water
- Boiled water is a common requirement for many things, from making tea to sterilizing.
Precisamos de água fervida para fazer o café.
- In Recipes
- Recipes will often instruct you to boil ingredients, and fervido will be used to describe the state of those ingredients.
Cozinhe o macarrão até ficar fervido e macio.
- Expressing Preference
- People often express their preferences for certain ways of cooking food.
Ela prefere os ovos fervidos em vez de fritos.
- Describing Preparations
- When talking about the preparation of a meal, fervido is a key descriptor.
O peixe estava cozido no vapor, não fervido.
You'll encounter the word fervido in a variety of everyday situations in Portuguese-speaking countries, primarily revolving around food and cooking. Its frequency makes it a crucial word for anyone learning the language, especially for practical communication.
- Home Kitchens
- This is where fervido is most commonly heard. Family members discussing meal plans, parents instructing children on cooking, or friends sharing recipes will frequently use this term. For example, 'Já coloquei os ovos para fazer fervidos para o pequeno-almoço.' (I've already put the eggs to make them boiled for breakfast.)
A mãe pediu para trazer a panela com água fervida.
- Restaurants and Cafés
- When ordering food, especially breakfast or simple dishes, you might hear or use fervido. For instance, a waiter might ask, 'Como prefere os ovos? Fervidos ou estrelados?' (How do you prefer the eggs? Boiled or fried?). Many menus will list items like 'Ovos Fervidos' or 'Sopa do Dia (legumes fervidos)'.
No menu, havia frango fervido com batatas.
- Cooking Shows and Food Blogs
- Educational content about cooking heavily relies on terms like fervido. You'll hear it in instructions for preparing dishes, explaining the importance of boiling water to a specific temperature, or the texture of boiled vegetables.
Para esta receita, o brócolo deve ser fervido por apenas cinco minutos.
- Supermarkets and Food Packaging
- While less common on packaging unless it's a pre-cooked item, you might see it in descriptions or marketing materials. For instance, a product might be advertised as 'feito com vegetais fervidos frescos'.
While fervido is a relatively simple word, learners can sometimes make mistakes, especially concerning grammatical agreement and choosing the right word for the cooking method. Here are some common pitfalls to avoid:
- Incorrect Grammatical Agreement
- The most frequent error is not matching the adjective fervido to the gender and number of the noun it modifies. For example, saying 'água fervido' instead of 'água fervida', or 'ovos fervida' instead of 'ovos fervidos'.
Mistake: A água está fervido.
Correct: A água está fervida.
- Confusing Boiling with Steaming or Other Methods
- Sometimes learners might use fervido when another cooking method was used. For instance, if vegetables were steamed, they are not fervidos; they are 'cozidos no vapor'. Using fervido incorrectly can lead to misunderstandings about how food was prepared.
Mistake: O peixe foi fervido para ficar macio.
Correct: O peixe foi cozido no vapor para ficar macio.
- Overuse or Underuse
- Some learners might overuse fervido for any hot liquid, or conversely, underuse it when it's the most appropriate term. For example, referring to hot chocolate as 'leite fervido' might be understandable but less precise than 'leite quente'.
While fervido specifically means 'boiled', there are other Portuguese words related to cooking and food preparation that might be confused or used in similar contexts. Understanding these distinctions will help you use vocabulary more precisely.
- Cozido (Cooked)
- Cozido is the past participle of cozinhar (to cook) and is a very general term meaning 'cooked'. It can refer to food prepared by any method: boiling, frying, roasting, etc. Fervido is a specific type of cozido.
- Example Comparison
- 'Ovo fervido' (boiled egg) is specific. 'Ovo cozido' (cooked egg) could be boiled, fried, or scrambled.
- Cozido no Vapor (Steamed)
- This phrase specifically means 'steamed'. It's important not to confuse it with fervido, as steaming involves cooking with steam, not direct immersion in boiling water.
- Example Comparison
- 'Legumes fervidos' are boiled vegetables. 'Legumes cozidos no vapor' are steamed vegetables.
- Assado (Roasted/Baked)
- This refers to food cooked by dry heat, typically in an oven. It's completely different from boiling.
- Example Comparison
- 'Frango fervido' (boiled chicken) is unusual for many cultures, whereas 'frango assado' (roasted chicken) is very common.
- Frito (Fried)
- This describes food cooked in hot fat or oil. It's another distinct cooking method from boiling.
- Example Comparison
- 'Ovos fervidos' (boiled eggs) contrast with 'ovos fritos' (fried eggs).

इसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें
Very High
-
Incorrect gender agreement: 'a ovo fervido'
→
a ovo fervido
The noun 'ovo' is masculine, so the adjective must be masculine singular: 'fervido'. The correct phrase is 'o ovo fervido' or 'um ovo fervido'.
-
Incorrect number agreement: 'as batata fervida'
→
as batatas fervidas
The noun 'batata' is feminine singular, and 'batatas' is feminine plural. The adjective must agree in number. For plural, it becomes 'fervidas'.
-
Using 'fervido' for other cooking methods: 'Peixe fervido' when it was fried.
→
Peixe frito
'Fervido' specifically means boiled. If the fish was cooked in oil, it's 'frito'. Using 'fervido' incorrectly misrepresents the cooking method.
-
Confusing the verb and adjective: 'A água ferveu fervida.'
→
A água ferveu. / A água está fervida.
'Ferveu' is the past tense of the verb 'ferver' (to boil). 'Fervida' is the adjective describing the state of being boiled. You don't use the adjective directly after the past tense of the verb in this way.
-
Overgeneralizing 'cozido': Calling everything 'cozido' instead of 'fervido'.
→
Ovo fervido.
While 'cozido' means cooked, 'fervido' is more precise for boiling. If you want to specify boiling, use 'fervido'. 'Ovo cozido' could be fried, but 'ovo fervido' is definitely boiled.

Always remember to make 'fervido' agree in gender and number with the noun it describes. This is crucial for correct Portuguese. Practice with common nouns like 'água' (feminine singular), 'ovos' (masculine plural), and 'batatas' (feminine plural).
Stress and Roll
Pay attention to the stress on the second syllable: fer-VI-do. Also, practice the rolled 'r' sound if you can, as it's characteristic of Portuguese pronunciation.

Distinguish from Similar Terms
Be aware of words like 'cozido' (cooked), 'frito' (fried), and 'assado' (roasted). 'Fervido' is specific to boiling, which is a distinct cooking method.
Use It Actively
Try to use 'fervido' in your own sentences as much as possible. Describe meals you eat, recipes you read, or cooking instructions you hear. Active use solidifies learning.
Everyday Relevance
Understand that 'fervido' is an everyday word in Portuguese-speaking cultures, especially concerning food. Knowing it helps you navigate conversations about meals and cooking naturally.
Plural Forms
Don't forget the plural forms: 'fervidos' for masculine plural nouns and 'fervidas' for feminine plural nouns. This is essential when talking about multiple items.
Kitchen Vocabulary
Integrate 'fervido' into your kitchen vocabulary. Think about common items like 'ovos fervidos', 'batatas fervidas', and 'água fervida'. This context makes the word more memorable.
Boiled vs. Steamed

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालThe main difference is specificity. 'Cozido' is a general term meaning 'cooked' and can refer to any cooking method (boiling, frying, roasting, etc.). 'Fervido' specifically means 'boiled', indicating that the food was cooked by immersion in boiling water. So, while all 'fervido' food is 'cozido', not all 'cozido' food is 'fervido'.
You need to match the adjective to the gender and number of the noun it describes. 'Fervido' is for masculine singular nouns (e.g., 'o ovo fervido'). 'Fervida' is for feminine singular nouns (e.g., 'a água fervida'). 'Fervidos' is for masculine plural nouns (e.g., 'os ovos fervidos'). 'Fervidas' is for feminine plural nouns (e.g., 'as batatas fervidas').
Yes, 'fervido' can be used for other liquids that are boiled. For example, 'leite fervido' (boiled milk) is used in some recipes or for specific purposes. The key is that the liquid has reached its boiling point and bubbled vigorously.
Generally, 'fervido' describes a neutral cooking method. Whether it's considered positive depends on the food and cultural preference. Some foods, like certain vegetables or eggs, are commonly enjoyed boiled. Others might be considered less flavorful or appealing when boiled compared to other methods.
'Fervido' means boiled in water, while 'cozido no vapor' means steamed. Steaming uses the heat from steam, not direct contact with boiling water. This results in different textures and can affect nutrient content. For example, 'brócolos fervidos' might be softer than 'brócolos cozidos no vapor'.
Yes, typically 'fervido' implies that the food has been cooked through by boiling. The duration of boiling determines the final texture and doneness, but the term itself indicates that the cooking process involved boiling.
Yes, very common ones include 'ovos fervidos' (boiled eggs), 'batatas fervidas' (boiled potatoes), and 'macarrão fervido' (boiled pasta). Many soups and stews also start with ingredients that are 'fervidos'.
While less common than the literal meaning, the verb 'ferver' (to boil) is used metaphorically for situations that are intense or full of emotion ('estar fervendo de raiva' - to be boiling with anger). The adjective 'fervido' itself is less frequently used metaphorically, but it relates to this idea of intense heat or activity.
The most direct opposite in terms of preparation state is 'cru' (raw). In terms of cooking methods, opposites would be 'frito' (fried), 'assado' (roasted), or 'grelhado' (grilled), as these involve different forms of heat application.
It is very important for accurate and natural-sounding Portuguese. Using the incorrect form (e.g., 'água fervido' instead of 'água fervida') will sound incorrect to native speakers and can hinder clear communication.

Always remember to make 'fervido' agree in gender and number with the noun it describes. This is crucial for correct Portuguese. Practice with common nouns like 'água' (feminine singular), 'ovos' (masculine plural), and 'batatas' (feminine plural).
Context is Key
When you hear or read 'fervido', think about the context. Is it about cooking? Is it about water? This will help you understand its specific meaning and usage. It almost always relates to the process of boiling.
Stress and Roll
Pay attention to the stress on the second syllable: fer-VI-do. Also, practice the rolled 'r' sound if you can, as it's characteristic of Portuguese pronunciation.
