queixo 30 सेकंड में
- The 'queixo' is the chin, the lower protruding part of the face.
- It's a masculine noun: 'o queixo'.
- Used for describing appearance, actions (thinking), and injuries.
- Distinguish from 'mandíbula' (jaw).
- Definition
- The chin is the protruding part of the face below the mouth, formed by the apex of the lower jaw. It's a distinct facial feature that contributes to the overall shape and appearance of a person's face. In everyday conversation, people refer to their chin when talking about their physical appearance, making gestures, or describing someone. For instance, someone might touch their chin when thinking, or a doctor might examine a patient's chin during a physical check-up. It's a common and easily identifiable part of the face.
- Usage
- The word 'queixo' is used in a variety of everyday situations. You'll hear it when people are describing themselves or others, discussing cosmetic features, or talking about physical actions that involve the chin. For example, someone might say they have a dimple in their chin ('covinha no queixo'), or that they are growing a beard on their chin ('barba no queixo'). It's also used in contexts related to health, like a sore chin ('queixo dolorido') or a cut on the chin ('corte no queixo'). When discussing emotions or contemplation, people might gesture by stroking their chin, which would be described using the word 'queixo'. It's a fundamental term when discussing facial anatomy in Portuguese.
Ele tem um queixo proeminente.
- Anatomy
- The 'queixo' is anatomically part of the mandible, the lower jawbone. It's the most anterior part of the lower jaw. Its shape and size can vary significantly between individuals, contributing to facial structure. In some cultures, a strong or well-defined 'queixo' is considered an attractive feature. Medical professionals often refer to the chin in discussions about facial development, trauma, or cosmetic surgery.
- Expressions
- Beyond its literal meaning, 'queixo' can appear in idiomatic expressions. For instance, 'ter queixo duro' might imply stubbornness or a strong will, though this is less common than the literal usage. More frequently, it's used in descriptive language. When someone is feeling down or contemplative, they might rest their head on their hand, with their chin supported, a posture often associated with the 'queixo'.
Ele coçou o queixo pensativo.
- Describing Physical Features
- 'Queixo' is frequently used to describe the physical characteristics of a person's face. You can talk about its shape, size, or any distinctive marks it might have. For example, 'Ela tem um queixo pequeno e delicado' (She has a small and delicate chin) or 'O queixo dele é quadrado e forte' (His chin is square and strong). This allows for detailed personal descriptions, helping to create a clearer mental image of individuals.
- Actions and Gestures
- The chin is involved in various human actions and gestures. People often touch or stroke their chin when they are thinking, pondering, or feeling uncertain. Sentences like 'Ele pôs o dedo no queixo, pensativo' (He put his finger on his chin, thoughtful) or 'Ela apoiou o queixo nas mãos' (She rested her chin on her hands) are common. These actions are universally understood and add a layer of non-verbal communication to language use.
O bebê tem um queixo redondinho.
- Health and Injury
- The chin can also be the site of injuries or medical conditions. You might hear about a cut on the chin ('corte no queixo'), a bruise ('hematoma no queixo'), or pain ('dor no queixo'). Doctors often examine the chin for signs of infection or other issues. For example, 'O médico examinou o queixo dele para ver se havia fratura' (The doctor examined his chin to see if there was a fracture).
- Facial Hair
- When discussing beards or stubble, the chin is a primary location. Phrases like 'barba no queixo' (beard on the chin) or 'bigode que desce até o queixo' (mustache that goes down to the chin) are common. This is particularly relevant when talking about grooming or appearance.
Ele decidiu deixar crescer a barba no queixo.
- Everyday Conversations
- You will hear 'queixo' frequently in casual conversations among native Portuguese speakers. When people are describing their day, talking about their appearance, or discussing other people, the chin is a common reference point. For example, 'Eu bati o meu queixo na porta' (I hit my chin on the door) or 'Ele tem um sorriso que ilumina o rosto todo, começando pelo queixo' (He has a smile that lights up his whole face, starting from the chin). It's a basic body part, so its usage is widespread.
- Media and Entertainment
- In movies, TV shows, and books in Portuguese, 'queixo' is used in dialogues and descriptions. Characters might comment on someone's chin, describe a fight scene where someone's chin is hit, or use it in a romantic context. For instance, a character might say, 'Adoro o jeito que o sol bate no queixo dele' (I love the way the sun hits his chin). News reports might also mention injuries to the chin in sports or accidents.
O lutador foi nocauteado com um golpe no queixo.
- Medical and Health Settings
- In doctor's offices, hospitals, or discussions about health, 'queixo' is a standard term. Doctors might ask about pain in the chin, examine a lump on the chin, or refer to procedures involving the chin. For example, 'O paciente relatou uma dor aguda no queixo após a queda' (The patient reported sharp pain in the chin after the fall). Dentists and orthodontists also frequently discuss the lower jaw, including the chin.
- Sports and Physical Activities
- In sports like boxing, martial arts, or even contact sports like football (soccer) and rugby, the chin is a vulnerable area. Commentary often refers to punches aimed at the chin or injuries sustained there. 'Ele levou um gancho direto no queixo e caiu' (He took a direct hook to the chin and fell). This context highlights the physical significance of the 'queixo'.
O jogador de futebol protegeu o queixo durante a disputa de bola.
- Confusing with Jaw
- A common mistake for learners is to confuse 'queixo' (chin) with 'mandíbula' (jaw) or 'maxilar' (jawbone, specifically the upper one). While the chin is part of the jaw, it refers to a specific protruding part. Using 'mandíbula' when you mean 'queixo' is like saying 'jaw' when you specifically mean 'chin' in English. For example, saying 'Eu bati na minha mandíbula' when you only hit your chin might be technically inaccurate in a precise context, though understandable. Always remember that 'queixo' is the lower, forward-most part of the face below the lips.
- Gender Agreement
- 'Queixo' is a masculine noun in Portuguese. This means that articles and adjectives used with it must also be masculine. A common error is to use feminine articles or adjectives, such as saying 'a queixo' instead of 'o queixo', or 'uma queixo bonita' instead of 'um queixo bonito'. Always remember to use 'o' for the definite article and 'um' for the indefinite article, and ensure adjectives agree in gender and number. For instance, 'O queixo dele é bem definido' (His chin is well-defined) is correct.
Errado: A queixo é pontudo. Certo: O queixo é pontudo.
- Over-generalization
- Sometimes learners might over-generalize the use of 'queixo' to other parts of the face or head. For instance, referring to the jawline as 'queixo' could be a mistake. The 'jawline' is more accurately described by 'linha do maxilar' or 'linha da mandíbula'. While context can often clarify, precise usage requires understanding that 'queixo' specifically denotes the chin. Another potential error is using it for the Adam's apple ('pomo de Adão'), which is located higher on the neck.
- Pronunciation
- While not strictly a vocabulary error, mispronouncing 'queixo' can lead to misunderstandings. The 'quei-' sound is similar to 'kay' in English, followed by '-xo' which sounds like 'shoh'. Incorrect pronunciation might sound like 'cheixo' or 'kexu'. Paying attention to the pronunciation from native speakers or using phonetic guides is crucial.
Errado: Ele levantou a cabeça com o maxilar. Certo: Ele levantou a cabeça com o queixo.
- Mandíbula (Jaw)
- 'Mandíbula' refers to the entire lower jawbone, whereas 'queixo' is the specific protruding part at the front. You might use 'mandíbula' when discussing the structure of the face or the entire bone. For example, 'A mandíbula dela é bem definida' (Her jawline is well-defined) is different from describing just the chin. 'Queixo' is more specific. Think of it as 'jawbone' vs. 'chin'.
- Maxilar (Jaw - usually upper)
- 'Maxilar' typically refers to the upper jawbone, but can sometimes be used more broadly to encompass both jaws. However, in most contexts, 'maxilar' is distinct from 'queixo'. If you are talking about the entire facial structure below the nose, 'maxilar' might be used, but for the forward projection below the mouth, 'queixo' is the correct term. It's less likely to be confused than 'mandíbula' but still important to differentiate.
O dentista examinou a mandíbula e o queixo do paciente.
- Rosto (Face)
- 'Rosto' means 'face' in general. While the chin is part of the face, 'rosto' is a much broader term. You would use 'rosto' to refer to the entire facial area, whereas 'queixo' is specific. For example, 'Ela tem um rosto bonito' (She has a beautiful face) is different from 'Ela tem um queixo bonito' (She has a beautiful chin). You might say 'O queixo faz parte do rosto' (The chin is part of the face).
- Barba (Beard)
- 'Barba' refers to facial hair, specifically a beard. While beards grow on the chin, they are not the chin itself. You would say 'Ele tem barba no queixo' (He has a beard on his chin). This distinction is important when describing appearance. The 'queixo' is the body part, and the 'barba' is the hair growing on it.
A barba cobre todo o queixo.

Master the 'XO' Sound
The 'xo' sound in 'queixo' is like 'shoh'. Practice saying words like 'show' and 'window' to get the 'o' sound right. Then combine it with the 'quei' sound, which is like 'kay'. Put them together: KAY-shoh.
Remember 'O Queixo'
'Queixo' is a masculine noun. Always use the masculine article 'o' (the) or 'um' (a/an). Think of it as 'o queixo' being a fixed unit to help you remember its gender.
Connect to English Cognates (Sort Of!)
While not a direct cognate, the sound 'quei-' in 'queixo' is similar to the English word 'key'. Imagine a 'key' that unlocks the 'show' (sounds like 'xo') of your face – the chin!
Actions Speak Louder
Pay attention to verbs used with 'queixo': 'coçar o queixo' (to scratch the chin), 'apoiar o queixo' (to rest the chin), 'levantar o queixo' (to lift the chin). These actions are common and will help you remember the word.

Mnemonic Aid
Create a silly sentence: 'The 'key' (quei) to the 'show' (xo) is my 'chin' (queixo)!' The more absurd, the better it sticks.
Adjective Agreement
When describing the 'queixo', ensure your adjectives match its masculine gender. For example, 'um queixo forte' (a strong chin), not 'uma queixo forte'.
Idiomatic Expressions
Learn phrases like 'queixo caído' (jaw dropped in surprise) and 'coçar o queixo' (to scratch chin while thinking). These are very common and make your Portuguese sound more natural.
Distinguish from 'Mandíbula'
Remember that 'queixo' is specifically the chin, while 'mandíbula' is the entire lower jawbone. 'Queixo' is the protrusion, 'mandíbula' is the bone.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवाल'Queixo' is a masculine noun in Portuguese. This means you will use the masculine definite article 'o' (the) and the masculine indefinite article 'um' (a/an) when referring to it. For example, 'o queixo' and 'um queixo'. Adjectives used to describe the 'queixo' must also be in their masculine singular form.
The 'mandíbula' is the entire lower jawbone. The 'queixo' is the specific protruding part at the front of the mandible, the chin. Think of the 'mandíbula' as the whole structure, and the 'queixo' as its most visible front-end feature. You might break your 'mandíbula' in an accident, but you might hit or cut your 'queixo'.
A 'double chin' is called 'queixo duplo' in Portuguese. This refers to the appearance of a second chin formed by excess fat or skin beneath the primary chin. It's a common term used in both everyday conversation and discussions about aesthetics or weight.
Yes, 'queixo' can be used metaphorically in some expressions. The most common is 'queixo caído', meaning 'jaw dropped' or extremely surprised. Another is 'queixo de vidro', referring to someone who is emotionally fragile or easily offended. These idiomatic uses add color to the language.
Common adjectives used to describe a 'queixo' include: 'proeminente' (prominent), 'forte' (strong), 'quadrado' (square), 'pontudo' (pointy), 'redondo' (round), 'duplo' (double), 'pequeno' (small), 'grande' (large), 'definido' (defined), and 'recaído' (receding).
The pronunciation is approximately 'KAY-shoh'. The 'quei' sounds like 'kay' in English, and the 'xo' sounds like 'shoh', similar to the end of 'show'. The stress is on the first syllable: QUEI-xo.
Yes, 'queixo' is used in medical contexts, especially when discussing injuries (e.g., 'corte no queixo' - cut on the chin, 'dor no queixo' - chin pain) or conditions related to the lower jaw and chin area. More technical terms like 'mentoplastia' (chin surgery) also relate to it.
The plural form of 'queixo' is 'queixos'. For example, 'Ele tem dois queixos' (He has two chins - referring to 'queixo duplo' in a literal sense, though usually 'queixo duplo' is singular) or 'Os queixos dos lutadores eram fortes' (The fighters' chins were strong).
Indirectly, yes. A 'queixo forte' or 'queixo quadrado' is often associated with strength, determination, or a strong personality in descriptions. While not a direct character trait, it contributes to the overall impression of a person's appearance, which can influence perceptions of their character.
These are two completely different facial features. 'Queixo' is the chin, located below the mouth. 'Nariz' is the nose, located above the mouth and between the eyes. They are distinct parts of the face.
