desmontado 30秒で
- Describes objects taken apart into pieces.
- Used for furniture, machines, and things needing assembly.
- Implies a state of being disassembled, not broken.
- Requires agreement in gender and number.
The Portuguese adjective "desmontado" directly translates to "taken apart" or "disassembled" in English. It signifies a state where something, typically an object or a structure, has been broken down into its constituent parts, usually for the purpose of repair, storage, transport, or simply because it was designed to be taken apart. It implies a process of deconstruction, moving from a complete, assembled state to one of separation.
- Core Meaning
- Separated into pieces.
- Application
- Used for objects, furniture, machinery, buildings, and even abstract concepts that can be broken down.
- Implication
- Suggests a temporary state, often with the intention of reassembly.
Imagine a bicycle that needs to be shipped. Before it can be put in a box, its wheels, handlebars, and pedals are removed. The bicycle is now "desmontado." Similarly, when furniture is delivered in flat-pack boxes, it arrives "desmontado," and the user's task is to reassemble it. This word is incredibly common in everyday life, especially when dealing with practical tasks, repairs, or moving.
A bicicleta está completamente desmontada para caber na caixa.
Beyond physical objects, "desmontado" can sometimes be used metaphorically. For instance, a complex plan that has been broken down into smaller, manageable steps could be described as "desmontado" in a figurative sense, though this is less common than its literal application. The core idea remains: something whole has been reduced to its components.
O móvel chegou desmontado.
Consider the context of a mechanic working on a car engine. When they have removed various parts like the spark plugs, filters, or even the engine block itself, the engine is "desmontado." This is a crucial term in technical fields, DIY projects, and any situation involving the manipulation of complex objects.
- Practical Scenarios
- Moving house: Furniture is disassembled for easier transport.
- DIY projects: Building furniture or repairing appliances often involves starting with disassembled parts.
- Repairs: A broken item is disassembled to identify and fix the problem.
- Storage: Items might be disassembled to take up less space.
O computador antigo foi desmontado para reciclagem.
In summary, "desmontado" is a versatile adjective that describes the state of being taken apart. It's a word you'll frequently encounter when discussing practical matters, repairs, assembly, and the deconstruction of objects.
Using "desmontado" correctly involves understanding its grammatical agreement and the context in which it's applied. As an adjective, it must agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies. Remember, "desmontado" is masculine singular. Its forms are: "desmontada" (feminine singular), "desmontados" (masculine plural), and "desmontadas" (feminine plural).
A mesa de jantar foi entregue desmontada.
In this sentence, "mesa" (table) is feminine singular, so we use "desmontada." If we were talking about multiple tables, it would be "as mesas foram entregues desmontadas." When the noun is masculine singular, like "o sofá" (the sofa), we use "desmontado": "O sofá veio desmontado." For multiple sofas ("os sofás"), it becomes "desmontados." For feminine plural nouns like "as cadeiras" (the chairs), we use "desmontadas": "As cadeiras estavam desmontadas." This agreement is fundamental to speaking and writing Portuguese correctly.
- Agreement Examples
- Masculine Singular: O motor do carro está desmontado. (The car engine is disassembled.)
- Feminine Singular: A prateleira chegou desmontada. (The shelf arrived disassembled.)
- Masculine Plural: Os equipamentos foram enviados desmontados. (The equipment was sent disassembled.)
- Feminine Plural: As peças da bicicleta estavam desmontadas. (The bicycle parts were disassembled.)
The verb "desmontar" (to disassemble) is often used in conjunction with "desmontado." For example, "Eu desmontei o armário" (I disassembled the wardrobe) leads to the state "O armário está desmontado" (The wardrobe is disassembled). This shows the transition from action to state.
Precisamos manter o motor desmontado até a peça chegar.
The word "desmontado" is frequently used in contexts involving instructions, manuals, or descriptions of objects that require assembly. You might see it on product packaging, in assembly guides, or when discussing repairs.

Practicing with these variations will solidify your understanding and make "desmontado" a natural part of your Portuguese vocabulary.

- Home and Furniture
- When buying flat-pack furniture (like from IKEA, but in Portuguese-speaking countries), the delivery person might say, "A estante vem desmontada." (The bookshelf comes disassembled.)

- DIY and Repairs

In summary, "desmontado" is a common adjective that you will encounter frequently in daily life, especially when dealing with furniture, repairs, moving, and any situation involving the deconstruction or assembly of objects.
While "desmontado" is a straightforward adjective, learners can make a few common mistakes, primarily related to grammatical agreement and context.
- Mistake 1: Incorrect Gender and Number Agreement
- The Error: Using the masculine singular form "desmontado" when the noun it describes is feminine or plural.
- Example of Error: "A cadeira está desmontado." (Incorrect)
- Correct Usage: "A cadeira está desmontada." (The chair is disassembled.)
- Explanation: "Cadeira" is feminine singular, so the adjective must be "desmontada." Similarly, for plural nouns like "as camas" (the beds), it would be "desmontadas." For "os carros" (the cars), it would be "desmontados." Always check the gender and number of the noun!
Erro: O motor chegou desmontado as peças.
- Mistake 2: Confusing "Desmontado" with "Quebrado" (Broken)
- The Error: Using "desmontado" when an object is actually broken or damaged, rather than simply taken apart.
- Example of Error: "Meu celular está desmontado porque caiu." (Incorrect - implies it was intentionally taken apart)
- Correct Usage: "Meu celular está quebrado porque caiu." (My cell phone is broken because it fell.)
- Explanation: "Desmontado" implies a deliberate act of taking something apart, often for a functional reason (repair, transport). "Quebrado" means it is damaged or not functioning due to breakage. While a broken item might end up in pieces, "desmontado" specifically refers to a structured deconstruction.
Certo: A bicicleta foi desmontada para a viagem.
- Mistake 3: Overusing "Desmontado" for Anything in Pieces
- The Error: Applying "desmontado" to situations where objects are merely scattered or messy, without the implication of being intentionally taken apart into functional components.
- Example of Error: "A sala ficou desmontada depois da festa." (Incorrect - implies the furniture was taken apart)
- Correct Usage: "A sala ficou bagunçada depois da festa." (The living room was messy after the party.)
- Explanation: "Desmontado" implies a structured state of being in parts, usually with the intention of reassembly or due to a specific process. "Bagunçada" (messy) or "espalhada" (scattered) are better for describing general disarray.
While "desmontado" is the most direct translation for "disassembled" or "taken apart," Portuguese offers other words that can convey similar meanings depending on the nuance and context. Understanding these alternatives helps in choosing the most precise term.
- 1. Desagregado
- Meaning: Disaggregated, broken down into smaller parts, often used for data, substances, or abstract concepts.
- Comparison: "Desmontado" is primarily for physical objects that are meant to be reassembled. "Desagregado" is broader and can apply to things that are not necessarily reassembled, like data that has been broken down for analysis.
- Example: Os dados do censo foram desagregados por região. (The census data was disaggregated by region.) vs. O móvel veio desmontado. (The furniture came disassembled.)
- 2. Desfeito
- Meaning: Undone, broken, ruined, or taken apart in a way that might imply damage or completion of a process.
- Comparison: "Desfeito" can overlap with "desmontado" but often carries a stronger sense of destruction or finality. Something "desfeito" might not be easily reassembled, whereas "desmontado" usually implies it can be put back together.
- Example: O bolo ficou desfeito ao sair da forma. (The cake fell apart when coming out of the mold.) vs. A cama ficou desmontada para a mudança. (The bed was left disassembled for the move.)
- 3. Quebrado
- Meaning: Broken, damaged.
- Comparison: As discussed in common mistakes, "quebrado" refers to damage, not intentional disassembly. An object can be both "desmontado" and "quebrado" if it was taken apart because it was broken.
- Example: O vaso estava quebrado em mil pedaços. (The vase was broken into a thousand pieces.) vs. A estante de livros estava desmontada e guardada. (The bookshelf was disassembled and stored.)
- 4. Separado
- Meaning: Separated, apart.
- Comparison: "Separado" is a very general term for things being apart. "Desmontado" implies a more structured separation of components of a single object. You can have "peças separadas" (separate pieces) that are not necessarily part of a disassembled item.
- Example: As crianças estavam separadas na sala de aula. (The children were separated in the classroom.) vs. O brinquedo estava desmontado na caixa. (The toy was disassembled in the box.)
O kit de montagem continha peças separadas, mas o conjunto final estava desmontado.

豆知識
The root 'mont' in 'montar' (and therefore 'desmontar') is related to the Latin word 'mons, montis,' meaning 'mountain.' This connection might seem distant, but it relates to the idea of 'raising' or 'building up' something, like building on a mountain, which then can be 'un-built' or 'des-montado.'
発音ガイド
- Pronouncing the 's' as 's' instead of 'z'.
- Not nasalizing the 'o' in 'monta'.

Literal e figurativo間違えやすい
Similar meaning of being in parts or undone.
'Desmontado' specifically refers to the state of an object having been taken apart into its constituent components, usually for assembly, repair, or transport. It implies a structured deconstruction. 'Desfeito' can mean undone, broken, or ruined, often with a sense of damage or finality, not necessarily structured disassembly. 'Quebrado' means broken or damaged. An item can be both 'desmontado' and 'quebrado', but 'desmontado' focuses on the state of separation of parts, not the damage itself.
A bicicleta está <mark class='bg-green-200 dark:bg-green-800 px-0.5 rounded'>desmontada</mark> para a viagem. (The bicycle is disassembled for the trip.) A louça caiu e ficou <mark class='bg-red-200 dark:bg-red-800 px-0.5 rounded'>desfeita</mark>. (The dishes fell and were ruined/broken into pieces.) O brinquedo está <mark class='bg-red-200 dark:bg-red-800 px-0.5 rounded'>quebrado</mark>. (The toy is broken.)
Both refer to parts being separate.
'Desmontado' describes a single object that has been intentionally taken apart into its functional components. The implication is often that it can be reassembled. 'Separado' is a more general term meaning simply apart or distinct. Pieces can be 'separadas' without necessarily belonging to a single object that has been 'desmontado'. For instance, different items in a box might be 'separados', but a single bed frame taken apart is 'desmontado'.
O kit de montagem veio <mark class='bg-green-200 dark:bg-green-800 px-0.5 rounded'>desmontado</mark>. (The assembly kit came disassembled.) As duas malas estavam <mark class='bg-red-200 dark:bg-red-800 px-0.5 rounded'>separadas</mark> no corredor. (The two suitcases were separated in the hallway.)
Both can imply a state of being broken down.
'Desmontado' is primarily used for physical objects that have been taken apart into their components, usually with the intention of reassembly or for logistical reasons. 'Desagregado' is more often used for abstract concepts, data, or substances that have been broken down into smaller units for analysis or processing. It doesn't typically imply reassembly of a single object.
O armário chegou <mark class='bg-green-200 dark:bg-green-800 px-0.5 rounded'>desmontado</mark>. (The wardrobe arrived disassembled.) Os dados foram <mark class='bg-red-200 dark:bg-red-800 px-0.5 rounded'>desagregados</mark> por região. (The data was disaggregated by region.)
Both relate to taking things apart.
'Desmontado' refers to the state of an object being taken apart into its components, typically for practical reasons like assembly or repair. 'Desmantelado' often implies dismantling larger structures, organizations, or systems, and can carry a stronger sense of demolition or dissolution, often with a more permanent outcome. While a building can be 'desmontado' if it's modular, 'desmantelado' is more common for demolishing a structure or breaking up an organization.
A tenda de camping estava <mark class='bg-green-200 dark:bg-green-800 px-0.5 rounded'>desmontada</mark> após o uso. (The camping tent was disassembled after use.) A antiga fábrica foi <mark class='bg-red-200 dark:bg-red-800 px-0.5 rounded'>desmantelada</mark>. (The old factory was dismantled.)
Both can describe a state of division.
'Desmontado' refers to the state of a single object being taken apart into its components, usually with the intention of reassembly. 'Desmembrado' means dismembered, often used for living beings (like a body) or for territories/organizations that have been broken up or divided into smaller parts. It usually implies a more severe or permanent separation than 'desmontado'.
O brinquedo veio <mark class='bg-green-200 dark:bg-green-800 px-0.5 rounded'>desmontado</mark>. (The toy came disassembled.) O corpo foi encontrado <mark class='bg-red-200 dark:bg-red-800 px-0.5 rounded'>desmembrado</mark>. (The body was found dismembered.)

ヒント
Master Agreement
The most crucial aspect of using 'desmontado' correctly is its agreement with the noun. Always identify the gender and number of the noun (masculine/feminine, singular/plural) and use the corresponding form: desmontado, desmontada, desmontados, desmontadas. This is essential for clear and accurate communication.
Think Practical
Associate 'desmontado' with practical, hands-on situations: buying flat-pack furniture, repairing appliances, moving house, or working on a car. This context will help you remember when and how to use the word.
Learn the Opposite
Understanding the antonym 'montado' (assembled) is equally important. Knowing both 'desmontado' and 'montado' will allow you to describe the entire process of assembly and disassembly effectively.
Listen and Repeat
Pay attention to how native speakers use 'desmontado' in conversations, movies, or podcasts. Try to repeat sentences you hear to internalize the pronunciation and natural usage patterns.
Visualize the Parts
When you encounter 'desmontado', visualize the object in question broken down into its individual pieces. This mental image will reinforce the meaning of the word and its application.
Differentiate from 'Quebrado'
Remember that 'desmontado' implies a deliberate taking apart, often for reassembly, while 'quebrado' means broken or damaged. While something might be both, the core meaning of 'desmontado' is about structure and separation, not damage.
Write Your Own Sentences
Actively create sentences using 'desmontado' and its variations. Describe objects in your environment, imagine scenarios, or rewrite sentences from exercises. This active recall is key to solidifying your knowledge.
Focus on Nasal Sounds
Portuguese has nasal vowels. Pay attention to the nasalization in 'desmontado', particularly the 'o' sound in 'monta'. Practicing the pronunciation will help you sound more natural.

語源
The word "desmontado" comes from the verb "desmontar," which is formed by the prefix "des-" (meaning undoing or reversal) and the verb "montar" (meaning to mount, to assemble, to build). So, "desmontar" literally means to undo the mounting or assembling.
元の意味： To undo the act of mounting or assembling; to take apart.
Indo-European, Romance languages, Portuguese.文化的な背景
The word itself is neutral and refers to a physical state. However, the context in which it's used can be important. For example, if someone's prized possession is 'desmontado' without their permission, it could be viewed negatively. But in the context of repairs or assembly, it's a neutral, functional description.
In English-speaking countries, similar terms like 'disassembled,' 'taken apart,' or 'flat-pack' are used. The concept is identical, reflecting the global prevalence of modular furniture and repairable goods.

10 問'Desmontado' means taken apart or disassembled, describing the state of an object when its parts are separated. 'Montado', on the other hand, means assembled, put together, or built, describing the state when all the parts are joined to form a complete object. For example, furniture often arrives 'desmontado' and needs to be 'montado' by the buyer.
Generally, yes. 'Desmontado' implies a state of being taken apart, usually with the intention of reassembly. It's common for furniture, electronics, or mechanical devices. If something is broken beyond repair, other words like 'quebrado' (broken) or 'desfeito' (ruined) might be more appropriate, although a broken item might also end up 'desmontado' in pieces.
You need to match the adjective's gender and number to the noun it describes. 'Desmontado' is masculine singular (e.g., 'o carro desmontado'). 'Desmontada' is feminine singular (e.g., 'a mesa desmontada'). 'Desmontados' is masculine plural (e.g., 'os móveis desmontados'). 'Desmontadas' is feminine plural (e.g., 'as peças desmontadas').
While primarily used for physical objects, 'desmontado' can be used metaphorically for abstract concepts, especially in formal or academic contexts, to mean broken down into components or analyzed. For example, 'a estratégia foi desmontada' (the strategy was broken down). However, words like 'desagregado' or 'desconstruído' are often more common for abstract ideas.
Yes, 'desmontado' is the most direct and common translation of 'disassembled' in Portuguese. It carries the same meaning of being taken apart into pieces.
'Desmontado' refers to the components of a single object that have been taken apart, usually with the intent of reassembly. 'Separado' is more general and simply means apart or distinct. For example, a bed frame taken apart is 'desmontado', but different items in a box might just be 'separados'.
'Desmontado' implies a deliberate separation of parts, usually reversible. 'Desfeito' can mean undone, ruined, or broken into pieces, often implying damage or finality, and not necessarily a structured disassembly.
Absolutely. Technical manuals for furniture, electronics, and machinery frequently use 'desmontado' to indicate that the product is shipped in pieces and requires assembly.
If a car is 'desmontado', it means it has been taken apart, usually for repair or maintenance. A mechanic might say 'O motor está desmontado' (The engine is disassembled) to indicate that it's currently in pieces.
Typically, 'desmontado' implies a prior state of being assembled or the potential for future assembly. If something was always in pieces and never intended to be assembled as a single unit, other terms might be more appropriate, unless it's a kit that *should* be assembled.
