The Portuguese adverb 'perigosamente' is used to describe an action or situation that is happening in a dangerous manner. It emphasizes the risk or potential for harm involved. You'll often hear it when discussing things like driving, weather conditions, or even risky behaviors. It's the direct equivalent of the English adverb 'dangerously'.
Imagine a car speeding through a residential area. The driver is operating the vehicle 'perigosamente'. Or consider a storm with extremely high winds; the wind is blowing 'perigosamente'. The word adds a layer of caution and highlights the precariousness of a situation. It's important for conveying a sense of urgency or concern when describing something that could lead to an accident or injury.
Think about the root word 'perigo', which means 'danger'. 'Perigosamente' is formed by adding the adverbial ending '-mente' to the adjective 'perigoso' (dangerous). This connection makes it easier to remember its meaning. It's a versatile word that can be applied to physical dangers, but also sometimes to situations that are emotionally or financially risky, though in simpler contexts, it typically refers to physical threats.
When you see or hear 'perigosamente', always consider what is being described and why it is considered dangerous. Is it a physical hazard, a risky decision, or a volatile situation? Understanding the context will help you grasp the full impact of this adverb. For instance, a surgeon might operate 'perigosamente' close to a vital organ, meaning with extreme precision and high risk. A tightrope walker performs 'perigosamente' high above the ground. In all these cases, the adverb underscores the inherent danger.
O motorista dirigia perigosamente na estrada molhada.
You might also encounter 'perigosamente' in descriptions of natural phenomena, like a cliff edge that is 'perigosamente' steep, or a building that is 'perigosamente' close to collapsing. The word serves as a strong warning, highlighting the potential for severe consequences if caution is not exercised. It’s a word that demands attention and signals that the situation requires careful handling.
- Example Contexts
- - Describing risky driving behaviors (speeding, reckless maneuvers).
- Warning about hazardous weather conditions (strong winds, heavy storms).
- Indicating unstable structures or environments (collapsing buildings, steep cliffs).
- Explaining actions taken with a high degree of risk.
- Highlighting precarious situations that could lead to harm.
Understanding 'perigosamente' is key to grasping nuanced descriptions of risk in Portuguese. It’s a word that adds vividness and a sense of immediate concern to any narrative or warning.
- Word Breakdown
- Root: 'perigo' (danger)
Adjective: 'perigoso' (dangerous)
Adverb: 'perigosamente' (dangerously)
The adverb 'perigosamente' modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs to indicate that an action is being performed in a dangerous manner. Its placement in a sentence is quite flexible, but it most commonly appears after the verb it modifies or at the beginning or end of a sentence for emphasis.
When modifying a verb, 'perigosamente' describes how the action is done. For example, 'Ele correu perigosamente' means 'He ran dangerously.' Here, 'perigosamente' tells us about the manner of running – likely too fast, erratically, or in a way that invites disaster.
A tempestade avançava perigosamente perto da costa.
'Perigosamente' can also modify adjectives, intensifying the degree of danger associated with a quality. For instance, 'A situação era perigosamente instável' means 'The situation was dangerously unstable.' In this case, 'perigosamente' emphasizes just how unstable the situation was, suggesting an imminent risk.
It can also modify other adverbs, though this is less common at the A2 level. For example, if there were an adverb meaning 'quickly', you could say something was happening 'perigosamente quickly' (though this construction might sound a bit awkward and is more likely in literary contexts).
- Sentence Structures
- Subject + Verb + Perigosamente:
O alpinista subiu perigosamente alto.
(The climber climbed dangerously high.) - Perigosamente + Adjective:
O gelo era perigosamente fino.
(The ice was dangerously thin.) - Subject + Verb + Object + Perigosamente:

(Dangerously, he crossed the bridge.)
When learning, it's often easiest to place 'perigosamente' directly after the verb it modifies. This is the most natural and common position for this adverb.
A criança brincava perigosamente perto da estrada.
Remember that adverbs in Portuguese generally agree in gender and number with the adjective they modify, but 'perigosamente' is an adverb derived from an adjective and follows the standard '-mente' formation, so it does not change. It always remains 'perigosamente'.
Practice forming sentences by thinking of common situations where danger is present: driving, weather, construction sites, or even certain sports. Then, try to incorporate 'perigosamente' to describe these situations accurately.
You'll encounter 'perigosamente' in a variety of everyday and more formal contexts. Its primary function is to convey a sense of risk or potential harm, making it a useful word for warnings, descriptions of hazardous situations, and even in storytelling.
News Reports and Weather Forecasts: When discussing severe weather, like hurricanes, tornadoes, or heavy storms, journalists and meteorologists might describe conditions as 'perigosamente' windy or state that a storm is approaching 'perigosamente' close to populated areas. This emphasizes the immediate threat to safety.
A polícia alertou para a possibilidade de a enchente subir perigosamente.
Traffic and Road Safety Announcements: Public service announcements or news segments about road safety often use 'perigosamente' to describe reckless driving. For example, 'Motoristas que dirigem perigosamente podem causar acidentes graves.' (Drivers who drive dangerously can cause serious accidents.)
Discussions about Health and Safety: In conversations about health, especially concerning risky activities or environments, 'perigosamente' can be used. For example, 'Trabalhar sem equipamento de segurança é agir perigosamente.' (Working without safety equipment is acting dangerously.)
Literature and Storytelling: Authors use adverbs like 'perigosamente' to create vivid imagery and build suspense. A character might be walking 'perigosamente' along a narrow ledge, or a situation might unfold 'perigosamente' quickly, adding to the drama.
- Common Scenarios
- - Describing actions in movies or thrillers.
- Warning children about unsafe play.
- Discussing construction site safety.
- Explaining the risks of extreme sports.
- Narrating historical events involving peril.
Even in casual conversations, people might use 'perigosamente' to describe a situation that felt risky or was done in a precarious way. For instance, if someone narrowly avoided an accident, they might say, 'Eu estava dirigindo perigosamente perto de bater!' (I was driving dangerously close to crashing!).
The word is quite common in any situation where there's a need to highlight potential danger or a high level of risk. It's a direct and impactful way to communicate that something is not safe.
Learners of Portuguese might make a few common mistakes when using 'perigosamente'. Understanding these pitfalls can help you avoid them and use the word more accurately.
1. Confusing Adverb with Adjective: The most frequent error is using 'perigosamente' when the adjective form 'perigoso' is needed. Remember, 'perigosamente' modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, while 'perigoso' describes a noun.
- Incorrect
- O cão é perigosamente.
- Correct
- O cão é perigoso.
- Explanation
- 'Perigoso' describes the noun 'cão' (dog). 'Perigosamente' would describe how an action is done, e.g., 'O cão atacou perigosamente' (The dog attacked dangerously).
2. Incorrect Placement in the Sentence: While 'perigosamente' is flexible, placing it awkwardly can make a sentence sound unnatural. The most common and safest position is after the verb it modifies.
- Less Natural
- Perigosamente ele dirigia o carro.
- More Natural
- Ele dirigia o carro perigosamente.
- Explanation
- Placing the adverb after the verb is the most standard and clear construction for this adverb.
3. Overuse or Misapplication: Sometimes learners might use 'perigosamente' in situations where the danger is very mild or metaphorical, and a less intense word would be more appropriate. While 'perigosamente' means 'dangerously', it implies a significant level of risk.
- Possibly Overkill
- Eu comi a comida perigosamente rápido.
- More Appropriate
- Eu comi a comida muito rápido.
- Explanation
- Unless eating quickly posed a genuine choking hazard, 'muito rápido' (very quickly) is more suitable than 'perigosamente rápido' (dangerously quickly).
Ele saltou perigosamente de um prédio alto.
4. Forgetting the '-mente' Ending: While less common, some learners might drop the '-mente' ending or try to conjugate it. Remember that '-mente' adverbs are formed from adjectives and do not change form.
- Incorrect
- Ele dirigiu perigoso na chuva.
- Correct
- Ele dirigiu perigosamente na chuva.
- Explanation
- 'Perigoso' is an adjective; 'perigosamente' is the adverb needed to describe the verb 'dirigir' (to drive).
By being mindful of these common errors, you can improve your fluency and accuracy when using 'perigosamente' in your Portuguese conversations and writing.
While 'perigosamente' is a direct and common way to express 'dangerously', Portuguese offers other words and phrases that can convey similar meanings, sometimes with slightly different nuances or in different contexts.
1. Arriscadamente (Adverb): This word means 'riskily' or 'hazardously'. It's very similar to 'perigosamente' but can sometimes imply a more calculated risk or a situation that is merely risky rather than outright dangerous.
- Perigosamente vs. Arriscadamente
- Perigosamente: Emphasizes a high probability of harm or severe consequences. Often used for physical dangers.
- Arriscadamente: Suggests a situation with potential for loss or negative outcome, but perhaps less severe than 'perigosamente'. Can apply to financial or strategic risks.
- Example: Ele dirigiu perigosamente perto do abismo. (He drove dangerously near the cliff.)
Ele investiu arriscadamente na bolsa. (He invested riskily in the stock market.)
2. Com risco (Prepositional Phrase): This phrase literally means 'with risk'. It's a more straightforward way to indicate that an action involves risk.
- Perigosamente vs. Com Risco
- Perigosamente: An adverb directly modifying the manner of an action.
- Com Risco: A phrase that describes the nature of the action or situation.
- Example: O piloto voou perigosamente baixo. (The pilot flew dangerously low.)
A operação foi realizada com risco de vida. (The operation was carried out with risk to life.)
3. De forma perigosa (Prepositional Phrase): This is a more explicit way of saying 'in a dangerous way'. It's essentially a synonym for 'perigosamente' but is slightly more formal or emphatic.
- Perigosamente vs. De Forma Perigosa
- Perigosamente: A single adverb, more common and fluid.
- De Forma Perigosa: A phrase, can be used for emphasis or clarity, especially in formal writing.
- Example: Ele agiu perigosamente. (He acted dangerously.)
Ele agiu de forma perigosa. (He acted in a dangerous way.)
A velocidade excessiva tornava a condução perigosamente arriscada.
4. Gravemente (Adverb): While 'gravemente' means 'gravely' or 'seriously', it can sometimes be used in contexts where danger is implied, especially when referring to injuries or consequences. It's less about the manner of action and more about the severity of the outcome.
- Perigosamente vs. Gravemente
- Perigosamente: Describes the dangerous manner of an action.
- Gravemente: Describes the seriousness of an injury or situation.
- Example: O menino caiu perigosamente da árvore. (The boy fell dangerously from the tree.)
O menino caiu e ficou gravemente ferido. (The boy fell and was gravely injured.)
For learners at the A2 level, focusing on 'perigosamente' and understanding its core meaning is most important. As you advance, you can explore these alternatives to add more variety and precision to your Portuguese.

よく混同される語
'Perigoso' is an adjective meaning 'dangerous', while 'perigosamente' is an adverb meaning 'dangerously'. You use 'perigoso' to describe a noun (e.g., 'um cão perigoso' - a dangerous dog), and 'perigosamente' to describe how an action is done (e.g., 'o cão atacou perigosamente' - the dog attacked dangerously).
'Arriscadamente' means 'riskily'. While similar, 'perigosamente' implies a higher degree of danger and potential for harm, whereas 'arriscadamente' can sometimes suggest a more calculated or less severe risk.
'Gravemente' means 'gravely' or 'seriously'. It typically refers to the severity of an injury or consequence, rather than the manner of an action. For example, 'Ele ficou gravemente ferido' (He was gravely injured) is about the outcome, while 'Ele agiu perigosamente' (He acted dangerously) is about the action itself.
間違えやすい
Both words share the same root and relate to danger.
'Perigoso' is an adjective that describes a noun (e.g., 'um caminho perigoso' - a dangerous path). 'Perigosamente' is an adverb that describes a verb, adjective, or another adverb, indicating how an action is performed or the degree of a quality (e.g., 'ele caminhou perigosamente' - he walked dangerously).
A cobra era <mark class='bg-red-200 dark:bg-red-800 px-0.5 rounded'>perigosa</mark>. Ela se moveu <mark class='bg-green-200 dark:bg-green-800 px-0.5 rounded'>perigosamente</mark> perto de mim.
Both are adverbs related to risk.
'Perigosamente' emphasizes a high likelihood of severe harm or disaster. 'Arriscadamente' suggests taking a risk, which might have negative consequences, but not necessarily as severe or life-threatening as implied by 'perigosamente'.
O piloto voou <mark class='bg-red-200 dark:bg-red-800 px-0.5 rounded'>perigosamente</mark> baixo sobre o mar. Ele investiu <mark class='bg-green-200 dark:bg-green-800 px-0.5 rounded'>arriscadamente</mark> na bolsa de valores.
They are antonyms, and understanding one helps with the other.
'Perigosamente' describes an action done with high risk of harm. 'Seguramente' describes an action done without risk, safely and securely. They represent opposite ends of a spectrum regarding safety.

Both adverbs describe actions lacking caution.
'Perigosamente' focuses on the potential for harm or danger. 'Temerariamente' (recklessly) emphasizes the lack of care for consequences or the heedless nature of the action, which often leads to danger but isn't solely defined by it.
Ele dirigiu <mark class='bg-red-200 dark:bg-red-800 px-0.5 rounded'>perigosamente</mark> na tempestade. Ele agiu <mark class='bg-green-200 dark:bg-green-800 px-0.5 rounded'>temerariamente</mark>, sem pensar no perigo.
Both relate to negative outcomes.
'Perigosamente' describes the manner of an action that is likely to cause harm. 'Gravemente' describes the severity of an outcome, usually an injury or illness. An action done 'perigosamente' might result in someone being 'gravemente' injured.

語源
The word 'perigosamente' derives from the Portuguese adjective 'perigoso', meaning 'dangerous'. 'Perigoso' itself comes from the Latin word 'periculosus', which means 'full of danger' or 'hazardous'.
元の意味： The root concept relates to 'periculum', the Latin word for 'danger' or 'risk'.
Indo-European > Italic > Latin > Romance > Portuguese文化的な背景
While 'perigosamente' is a neutral adverb in terms of tone, its meaning inherently relates to negative outcomes. When using it, consider the audience and context. For example, describing a child's play as 'perigosamente' close to danger might be appropriate for a warning, but might seem overly dramatic in a lighthearted story.
The concept of 'dangerously' is universal, but the specific word 'perigosamente' carries the weight of Portuguese language and culture. Its usage might be more common in contexts where dramatic descriptions are favored, such as in literature or film.

よくある質問
10 問The main difference lies in their grammatical function. 'Perigoso' is an adjective, meaning 'dangerous', and it describes nouns. For example, 'É um animal perigoso' (It is a dangerous animal). 'Perigosamente' is an adverb, meaning 'dangerously', and it describes verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. For example, 'Ele correu perigosamente' (He ran dangerously). The adverb tells you *how* the action was performed or the degree of a quality.
While 'perigosamente' most commonly refers to physical danger, it can be used metaphorically for situations that are risky in other ways, such as financially or politically. For example, 'A situação económica do país está perigosamente instável' (The country's economic situation is dangerously unstable). However, in simpler contexts, it usually implies a direct threat of harm.
The stress in 'perigosamente' falls on the third syllable: pe-ri-GO-sa-MEN-te. The emphasis is on the 'GO' sound.
Yes, 'perigosamente' is a common and useful adverb in Portuguese. It's frequently used in news reports, warnings, and descriptions of risky situations, making it a valuable word for learners to know.
Use 'perigosamente' when the situation involves a high probability of severe harm or disaster. Use 'arriscadamente' when there is a risk, but it might be less severe, more calculated, or related to potential loss rather than direct physical danger. For instance, driving off a cliff is 'perigosamente' done, while investing all your savings in a volatile stock might be 'arriscadamente' done.
Yes, 'perigosamente' can sometimes be placed at the beginning of a sentence for emphasis, although it's more common after the verb. For example, 'Perigosamente, ele atravessou a ponte' (Dangerously, he crossed the bridge). However, placing it after the verb is generally more natural and less emphatic.
No, as an adverb formed with the '-mente' suffix, 'perigosamente' does not change its form to agree with gender or number. It always remains 'perigosamente'.
The most direct opposites are 'seguramente' (safely) and 'com segurança' (securely). Other related opposites include 'cuidadosamente' (carefully) and 'tranquilamente' (calmly), which imply an absence of danger.
Yes, common phrases include 'dirigir perigosamente' (to drive dangerously), 'estar perigosamente perto' (to be dangerously close), and 'perigosamente rápido' (dangerously fast). These phrases are frequently used in everyday language.
You can practice by writing sentences describing dangerous situations, watching Portuguese-language videos and noting when the word is used, or role-playing scenarios where you need to issue warnings. Try to distinguish between physical danger and other types of risk.
