resignar 30 सेकंड में
- To accept something unpleasant or unavoidable without protest.
- Implies a reluctant or sorrowful acceptance of an unchangeable situation.
- Commonly used reflexively as 'resignar-se'.
- Distinct from 'demitir-se' (to quit a job).
- Core Meaning
- The verb 'resignar' in Portuguese means to accept something unpleasant, difficult, or inevitable without protest or resistance. It implies a sense of coming to terms with a situation that cannot be changed, often with a degree of sadness, resignation, or even a stoic attitude. It's about yielding to circumstances.
- Nuance of Acceptance
- While 'resign' in English can also mean to formally quit a job, in Portuguese, 'resignar' primarily focuses on the internal act of acceptance. When someone 'se resigna' (resigns themselves), they are emotionally or mentally adjusting to a reality they cannot alter. This can apply to personal losses, difficult life circumstances, or situations where one's efforts have proven futile.
- Common Scenarios
- You might hear 'resignar' used when people discuss enduring long illnesses, accepting the end of a relationship, coming to terms with a career setback, or facing natural disasters. It's a word often associated with a mature, albeit sometimes somber, outlook on life's challenges. It suggests an internal shift from fighting against something to accepting its presence.
- Beyond Passive Acceptance
- It's important to note that 'resignar' doesn't always imply weakness. Sometimes, it can represent a form of strength, the ability to endure hardship with dignity and grace when resistance is no longer a viable or productive option. It's about finding peace within an unchangeable reality.
É preciso aprender a resignar-se com as adversidades da vida.
Depois de lutar por tanto tempo, ele finalmente teve que resignar-se à sua condição.
Apesar da tristeza, ela se resignou à decisão do tribunal.
Não adianta lamentar o que não pode ser mudado; é melhor resignar-se.
Muitas vezes, a vida nos força a resignar-nos a planos que não eram os nossos.
- Accepting Personal Fate
- The most frequent use of 'resignar' involves accepting one's personal destiny or circumstances, especially when they are unfavorable. This often involves the reflexive pronoun 'se'. For example, 'Ele teve que se resignar à ideia de que nunca mais o veria.' (He had to resign himself to the idea that he would never see him again.) This highlights a profound emotional acceptance of a loss.
- Coming to Terms with Difficult Situations
- It is commonly used when individuals must accept a challenging reality that they cannot change. This could be related to health, financial hardship, or professional setbacks. For instance, 'A equipa teve que se resignar com a derrota após um jogo muito disputado.' (The team had to resign itself to the defeat after a hard-fought game.) Here, the acceptance is of a tangible outcome.
- Yielding to Unavoidable Circumstances
- 'Resignar' can also describe the act of yielding to forces or situations that are beyond one's control, such as natural events or societal pressures. A sentence might be: 'Perante a força da tempestade, os moradores tiveram que se resignar e esperar que passasse.' (Faced with the strength of the storm, the residents had to resign themselves and wait for it to pass.) This emphasizes a passive but necessary surrender to overwhelming power.
- Accepting a Decision
- When a decision is made that is final or unavoidable, 'resignar' can be used to express the acceptance of that decision. For example, 'Ela se resignou à decisão da sua família, mesmo que não concordasse totalmente.' (She resigned herself to her family's decision, even though she didn't fully agree.) This shows acceptance despite personal reservations.
- Philosophical or Stoic Acceptance
- In more reflective or philosophical contexts, 'resignar' can imply a mature, almost stoic, acceptance of life's inherent difficulties and uncertainties. 'O sábio não luta contra o destino, ele se resigna e busca a paz interior.' (The wise person does not fight destiny; they resign themselves and seek inner peace.) This usage elevates the act of resignation to a virtue.
Apesar de ter lutado muito, ele teve que resignar-se à sua sorte.
As crianças se resignaram com a chuva que estragou o piquenique.
É difícil, mas precisamos nos resignar à perda.
O artista se resignou a não ter reconhecimento em vida.
Eles não podiam mais lutar contra o sistema, então se resignaram.
- Everyday Conversations
- You'll frequently encounter 'resignar' in casual conversations where people are discussing life's challenges or disappointments. For example, someone might say, 'Ah, o meu voo foi cancelado de novo. Tive que me resignar e esperar pelo próximo.' (Ah, my flight was canceled again. I had to resign myself and wait for the next one.) This is a common, everyday expression of accepting an inconvenience.
- Literature and Film
- Portuguese literature and films often use 'resignar' to portray characters grappling with difficult destinies, societal constraints, or personal tragedies. A character might be described as having 'se resignado à sua sina' (resigned themselves to their fate), indicating a deep internal struggle and eventual acceptance of their predetermined path.
- News and Social Commentary
- In news reports or social commentary, 'resignar' might be used to describe how populations or individuals cope with large-scale issues like economic hardship, political instability, or environmental crises. For instance, a report might discuss how 'muitos se resignaram à pobreza' (many resigned themselves to poverty), signifying a widespread sense of helplessness and acceptance of dire conditions.
- Personal Reflections and Advice
- In personal blogs, advice columns, or reflective essays, the verb is used to discuss the process of coming to terms with difficult life events. You might read advice like, 'Quando não se pode mudar algo, o melhor é resignar-se e focar no que ainda se pode controlar.' (When something cannot be changed, it's best to resign yourself and focus on what you can still control.)
- Discussions about Health and Illness
- In conversations about long-term illnesses or chronic conditions, 'resignar' is often used to describe the patient's journey of acceptance. A doctor might say, 'É importante que o paciente se resigne à sua condição para poder gerir melhor o tratamento.' (It's important for the patient to resign themselves to their condition to better manage the treatment.) This implies a necessary mental and emotional adjustment for effective coping.
Ouvi a minha avó dizer que, com a idade, aprendemos a resignar-nos às pequenas dores.
Na novela, a personagem principal teve que se resignar a um casamento arranjado.

- Confusing with 'Demir-se' or 'Renunciar' (to quit)
- A very common mistake for English speakers is to confuse 'resignar' with the act of quitting a job. In Portuguese, the verbs for quitting a job are typically 'demitir-se' (to dismiss oneself, to resign) or 'renunciar' (to renounce, to resign). 'Resignar' is about accepting an undesirable situation, not formally leaving a position. For example, saying 'Eu me resignei do meu trabalho' (I resigned from my job) is incorrect; it should be 'Eu me demiti do meu trabalho' or 'Eu renunciei ao meu trabalho'.
- Overuse of the Non-Reflexive Form
- While 'resignar' can be used transitively (e.g., 'Ele resignou a sua esperança' - He resigned his hope), it is far more common and natural in everyday speech to use the reflexive form 'resignar-se' (to resign oneself). Failing to use the reflexive pronoun 'se' when referring to accepting something personally can sound unnatural or grammatically incomplete. For instance, 'Ele resignou o problema' is less common than 'Ele resignou-se ao problema'.
- Using 'Resignar' for Simple Agreement
- 'Resignar' implies a deeper, often reluctant, acceptance of something difficult or unavoidable. It is not a synonym for simple agreement or acceptance of minor inconveniences. For example, you wouldn't use 'resignar' if your friend agrees to meet at a different time; you would use verbs like 'concordar' (to agree) or 'aceitar' (to accept). Using 'resignar' for trivial matters diminishes its meaning.
- Incorrect Preposition Usage
- When 'resignar' is used transitively or reflexively with 'a', the preposition 'a' is crucial. Forgetting or using the wrong preposition can lead to confusion. For example, it should be 'resignar-se a algo' (to resign oneself to something), not 'resignar-se com algo' or 'resignar-se de algo' in this context. The correct structure is essential for clarity.
- Translating 'Resigned' Directly without Context
- English speakers might try to directly translate the adjective 'resigned' as 'resignado'. While 'resignado' is a valid word, it carries the same nuance of acceptance of the inevitable. However, it's important to ensure the context truly calls for this specific type of acceptance. If the English simply means 'gave up' in a more active sense, other Portuguese verbs might be more appropriate. Always consider the depth of acceptance implied by 'resignar' or 'resignado'.
Mistake: 'Eu me resignei do meu emprego.' Correct: 'Eu me demiti do meu emprego.' or 'Eu renunciei ao meu emprego.'
Mistake: 'Ele resignou a situação.' Correct: 'Ele resignou-se à situação.' (more common and natural)
Mistake: 'Aceitei o facto, mas não me resignei.' This is contradictory. If you accepted, you likely resigned yourself to it.
Mistake: 'Ele resignou com a sua condição.' Correct: 'Ele resignou-se à sua condição.'
- Aceitar (to accept)
- 'Aceitar' is a more general term for accepting something, whether it's good or bad, a gift, an invitation, or a fact. 'Resignar' implies a reluctant or sorrowful acceptance of something undesirable and unavoidable.
Example:
Aceitar: 'Aceitei o presente com gratidão.' (I accepted the gift with gratitude.)
Resignar: 'Ele teve que se resignar à ideia de nunca mais voltar para casa.' (He had to resign himself to the idea of never returning home.) - Conformar-se (to conform, to comply)
- 'Conformar-se' suggests adapting to established norms, rules, or circumstances, often without strong objection. It can overlap with 'resignar' when the circumstances are imposed and unchangeable, but 'conformar-se' can also imply a more active adaptation or fitting in. 'Resignar' carries a stronger sense of yielding to something negative.
- Submeter-se (to submit)
- 'Submeter-se' implies yielding to authority, power, or control. While it involves a form of acceptance, it emphasizes the act of being subject to someone or something else's will. 'Resignar' is more about accepting a situation's inevitability, which might stem from external power but focuses on the internal acceptance.
- Entregar-se (to surrender, to give oneself up)
- 'Entregar-se' can mean to surrender in a fight or to give oneself up to an emotion or fate. It's a stronger, more complete yielding than 'resignar'. When used reflexively ('entregar-se'), it can imply giving up entirely, whereas 'resignar-se' can sometimes imply enduring with a degree of dignity.
- Lidar com (to deal with)
- 'Lidar com' is a more neutral phrase meaning to manage or handle a situation. It doesn't necessarily imply reluctant acceptance. One might 'lidar com' a problem by actively solving it, whereas 'resignar-se' means accepting it when active solutions are not possible or have failed.
- Suportar (to bear, to endure)
- 'Suportar' means to bear or endure hardship. It focuses on the act of tolerating something difficult. 'Resignar' goes a step further by implying the acceptance of that hardship as unchangeable, leading to a state of resignation.
'Aceitar' é mais geral, 'resignar' é aceitar algo mau e inevitável.
'Conformar-se' é adaptar-se, 'resignar-se' é aceitar a derrota.
'Submeter-se' implica ceder a uma autoridade, 'resignar-se' é aceitar uma condição.
'Entregar-se' é um rendição completa, 'resignar-se' é aceitar sem luta.
'Lidar com' é gerir, 'resignar-se' é aceitar o inevitável.
'Suportar' é tolerar, 'resignar-se' é aceitar que não há outra opção.
How Formal Is It?
"O conselho deliberou e os membros tiveram que se resignar à decisão final."
"O tempo não melhorou, então nos resignamos e ficamos em casa."
"Ah, mais uma vez o autocarro atrasou! Tive que me resignar e esperar."
"O brinquedo quebrou. Temos que aceitar e não ficar tristes."
रोचक तथ्य
The Latin 'signare' (to sign) is also the root of words like 'signature', 'signify', and 'design'. The 're-' prefix often implies a reversal or undoing, so 'resignare' literally meant to 'un-sign' or 'sign away'.

कठिनाई स्तर
The word 'resignar' carries a nuanced meaning of accepting the inevitable, often with reluctance or sadness. Understanding this nuance requires comprehension beyond literal translation. Recognizing its common reflexive use ('resignar-se') and its distinction from 'demitir-se' is key for accurate reading comprehension.
Using 'resignar' correctly in writing involves understanding its specific meaning of reluctant acceptance and differentiating it from simple agreement or quitting. Correctly applying the reflexive pronoun 'se' and the preposition 'a' or 'com' is crucial for natural and accurate usage.
Pronunciation and intonation are important. More critically, using 'resignar' appropriately in spoken Portuguese requires grasping its semantic field and choosing it over more general terms like 'aceitar' when the context calls for accepting something difficult or unavoidable.
Listeners need to distinguish 'resignar' from similar-sounding or similarly spelled words, particularly 'demitir-se'. Understanding the context is vital to grasp the speaker's intended meaning of reluctant acceptance.

'Demitir-se' means to resign from a job or position. 'Resignar' means to accept an undesirable situation. They are distinct in meaning and context.
'Renunciar' can mean to renounce something (like a right) or to resign from a position. While it shares some overlap with formal resignation from a job, 'resignar' is about accepting circumstances, not necessarily formalizing an exit.
'Aceitar' is a broader term for accepting anything. 'Resignar' specifically implies accepting something negative, difficult, or unavoidable, often with reluctance.
मुहावरे और अभिव्यक्तियाँ
— Literally 'to swallow the toad'. This idiom means to accept something unpleasant or humiliating without complaining, often due to necessity. It's very similar in meaning to 'resignar-se', but often implies a more active, though silent, swallowing of pride or discomfort.

Informal— Literally 'to give one's arm to twist'. This idiom means to finally admit one was wrong or to yield after stubbornly resisting. While it involves yielding, it's more about conceding a point than accepting an unavoidable situation.

Informalआसानी से भ्रमित होने वाले
Both 'resignar' and 'demitir-se' can be translated as 'to resign' in English, leading to confusion.
'Demitir-se' specifically means to formally quit a job or position. 'Resignar' means to accept an undesirable situation, often with a sense of fatalism or lack of control. You 'demite-se' from a job, but you 'resigna-se' to a difficult circumstance.
Ele se demitiu do cargo de diretor. (He resigned from the position of director.) / Ele se resignou à ideia de nunca mais voltar. (He resigned himself to the idea of never returning.)
'Resignar' is a type of acceptance, making it seem like a synonym for the broader term 'aceitar'.
'Aceitar' is a general verb meaning to receive, agree to, or acknowledge something. It can apply to positive or negative things. 'Resignar' implies accepting something specifically negative, difficult, or unavoidable, often with a degree of reluctance or sorrow, suggesting that resistance is futile.
Aceitei o presente. (I accepted the gift.) / Tive que me resignar à derrota. (I had to resign myself to defeat.)
Both verbs imply yielding to circumstances.
'Conformar-se' means to adapt to or comply with norms, rules, or situations, often without strong objection. It can suggest fitting in. 'Resignar-se' implies a deeper, more reluctant acceptance of something unpleasant or unavoidable, often with a sense of finality or lack of alternatives.
Ela se conformou com o novo horário. (She conformed to the new schedule.) / Ela se resignou à sua sina. (She resigned herself to her fate.)
Both involve yielding to external forces or conditions.
'Submeter-se' means to submit to authority, power, or control. It emphasizes being under someone else's dominion. 'Resignar-se' is more about accepting a situation's inevitability, which might be imposed by power but focuses on the internal state of acceptance rather than the act of submission itself.
O prisioneiro teve que se submeter ao guarda. (The prisoner had to submit to the guard.) / O doente se resignou à sua doença. (The patient resigned himself to his illness.)
Both imply ceasing resistance.
'Entregar-se' means to surrender completely, to give up entirely. It can imply a complete lack of will or fight. 'Resignar-se' can imply accepting the situation without active resistance, but it doesn't necessarily mean a complete surrender of all hope or inner dignity; it's more about acknowledging the unchangeable.
O ladrão se entregou à polícia. (The thief surrendered to the police.) / Ele se resignou a não ter sucesso. (He resigned himself to not having success.)

इसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें
High, especially in its reflexive form 'resignar-se'.
-
Using 'resignar' for quitting a job.
→
Use 'demitir-se' or 'renunciar' for quitting a job.
'Resignar' means to accept an undesirable situation, not to formally leave employment. For example, 'Eu me demiti do emprego' (I resigned from my job), not 'Eu me resignei do emprego'.
-
Forgetting the reflexive pronoun 'se'.
→
Use 'se resignar' (e.g., 'ele se resignou').
The verb is most commonly used reflexively, meaning 'to resign oneself'. Omitting 'se' makes the sentence sound incomplete or incorrect in most contexts.
-
Confusing 'resignar' with 'aceitar' for minor issues.
→
Use 'aceitar' for general acceptance or minor inconveniences.
'Resignar' implies accepting something difficult or unavoidable, often with reluctance. For small things, 'aceitar' is more appropriate. 'Aceitei o atraso do autocarro' (I accepted the bus delay) is better than 'Me resignei ao atraso do autocarro'.
-
Using the wrong preposition.
→
Most commonly 'resignar-se a algo'.
While 'com' is sometimes used, 'a' is the standard preposition to indicate what one is resigning themselves to. 'Ele se resignou à sua sorte' is preferred over 'Ele se resignou com a sua sorte'.
-
Translating the English adjective 'resigned' too literally.
→
Consider the context; 'resignado' implies acceptance of the inevitable.
While 'resignado' is the adjective form, ensure the context truly calls for this specific type of acceptance. Sometimes, other adjectives might better capture the nuance of the English 'resigned' depending on the situation.

शब्द की उत्पत्ति
The Portuguese verb 'resignar' originates from the Latin verb 'resignare', which itself derives from 're-' (back, again) and 'signare' (to mark, to sign). The original Latin meaning was related to 'to sign away', 'to give up', or 'to unsubscribe'.
मूल अर्थ: 'To sign away', 'to give up', 'to cancel a signature'.
Indo-European > Italic > Latin > Portugueseसांस्कृतिक संदर्भ
Use 'resignar' carefully when discussing sensitive topics like illness, loss, or poverty. While it means acceptance, it should not imply condoning suffering or discouraging efforts for improvement where possible. The context and tone are crucial.
In English-speaking cultures, 'resignation' can sometimes have a more negative connotation, implying giving up too easily. While 'to resign oneself' exists, the Portuguese 'resignar' can be used in contexts where it's seen as a mature or even wise response to unavoidable circumstances, rather than simply giving up.

10 सवालWhile 'resignar' often deals with unpleasant or difficult situations, it's not always purely negative. It can represent a mature acceptance of reality when fighting is futile. Sometimes, finding peace through resignation can be seen as a form of strength or wisdom, especially in philosophical contexts. However, the core of the word still relates to accepting something undesirable.
'Aceitar' is a general term for accepting anything, whether good or bad, a gift, an invitation, or a fact. 'Resignar' specifically implies accepting something that is undesirable, difficult, or unavoidable, often with a sense of reluctance, sorrow, or the acknowledgment that resistance is pointless. You 'aceitar' a party invitation, but you 'resignar-se' to a serious illness.
This is a crucial distinction. 'Demitir-se' means to formally quit a job or position. 'Resignar-se' means to accept a difficult or unpleasant situation that you cannot change. For example, you 'demite-se' from your job, but you 'resigna-se' to a bad weather forecast that cancels your plans.
While technically possible, it's generally not the most natural choice for very minor inconveniences. For something like a slight delay, 'aceitar' or 'lidar com' (to deal with) might be more common. 'Resignar' carries a heavier implication of accepting something truly difficult or unavoidable.
The reflexive form 'resignar-se' (to resign oneself) is by far the most common and natural way to use the verb in everyday Portuguese. While the transitive form (e.g., 'ele resignou sua esperança' - he resigned his hope) exists, it's less frequent in spoken language and often sounds more literary or formal.
The noun form is 'resignação', which means 'resignation' – the state of accepting something unpleasant as inevitable.
The adjective form is 'resignado', meaning 'resigned' – describing someone who has accepted something unpleasant as inevitable.
It often implies ceasing active resistance because the situation is perceived as unchangeable. However, it doesn't always mean a complete loss of hope or inner spirit. It's more about acknowledging reality and finding a way to live with it, rather than actively fighting a losing battle.
While the core meaning is accepting the undesirable, the 'positive' aspect comes from the wisdom or maturity of recognizing what cannot be changed and finding peace within that reality. It's about accepting limitations, which can be a foundation for inner peace, as seen in philosophies like Stoicism.
The preposition 'a' is more common and generally preferred when 'resignar-se' refers to accepting a specific situation, outcome, or idea (e.g., 'resignar-se à derrota'). 'Com' is sometimes used, particularly when it implies accepting a general state or condition (e.g., 'resignar-se com a vida'). However, 'a' is usually the safer and more frequent choice.
