separado 30秒で
- Fundamental adjective for 'separate' or 'apart'.
- Must agree in gender and number with the noun.
- Commonly used for physical objects and marital status.
- Often paired with the preposition 'de' (from).
The Portuguese adjective separado is a fundamental term that describes the state of being disconnected, detached, or existing in a distinct space from something else. At its core, it functions as the past participle of the verb separar (to separate), but it has evolved into a standalone adjective used in a vast array of contexts, from physical objects to complex human relationships. In the Portuguese language, adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify, meaning you will encounter separado (masculine singular), separada (feminine singular), separados (masculine plural), and separadas (feminine plural). Understanding this word requires looking beyond simple physical distance; it encompasses the conceptual division of ideas, the legal status of couples who are no longer together but perhaps not yet divorced, and the organizational logic of sorting items into categories. When we say something is 'separado', we are emphasizing its individuality and the boundary that exists between it and another entity. This boundary can be a physical wall, a geographical distance, or a social contract. For a beginner (A1), it usually refers to things like 'separate rooms' or 'separate bills', but as one progresses, the word takes on more abstract weight, describing the separation of powers in a government or the distinct nature of two philosophical arguments.
- Physical State
- Refers to objects that are not touching or are in different locations, such as 'livros separados' (separate books).
- Marital Status
- Describes individuals who have ended a domestic partnership or marriage but may not have finalized a legal divorce.
- Conceptual Distinction
- Used to differentiate between ideas or categories that should not be confused with one another.
Os documentos estão em um envelope separado.
The word carries a neutral to slightly formal tone depending on the context. In a restaurant, asking for the bill 'separado' is a common, practical request. In a more emotional context, saying 'estamos separados' carries significant weight, indicating a life-changing transition. It is also important to note the preposition that usually follows it: de. One is separated 'from' something (separado de algo). This prepositional link is crucial for building correct sentences. For example, 'O Reino Unido está separado da Europa pelo Canal da Mancha'. Here, the word acts as a bridge between the subject and the object from which it is detached. Furthermore, the word can be used as an adverb in certain colloquial expressions, though technically it remains an adjective modifying an implied noun. In modern Portuguese, especially in Brazil, you might hear 'pagar separado', which functions as 'to pay separately'. This versatility makes it one of the most useful adjectives to master early in your language journey.
Eles vivem em quartos separados agora.
A carne deve ser cozida separada dos legumes.
Mantenha o lixo orgânico separado do reciclável.
Cada item tem um preço separado.
- Synonym Hint
- Think of 'distinto' or 'apartado' when you want to sound more formal.
Using separado correctly involves mastering its grammatical agreement and understanding which verbs it typically pairs with. Most commonly, it follows the verbs estar (to be - temporary/state) or ficar (to stay/become). For example, 'Eles estão separados' implies a current state of being apart. When used with ser, it often describes a permanent characteristic or a classification, such as 'O anexo é separado da casa principal'. In everyday conversation, you will use it to organize your world. If you are at a supermarket, you might want your cleaning products in a 'sacola separada' (separate bag) from your food. If you are traveling with friends, you might have 'contas separadas' (separate bills) at the hotel. The word is incredibly flexible. It can also act as a result of an action: 'Eu deixei o dinheiro separado para você' (I left the money set aside/separate for you). In this context, it implies a purposeful act of isolation for a specific reason.
- Agreement Rules
- Singular Masculine: O livro está separado. | Singular Feminine: A folha está separada. | Plural Masculine: Os carros estão separados. | Plural Feminine: As chaves estão separadas.
Por favor, coloque as frutas em um saco separado.
Another high-frequency use is in the phrase 'em separado'. This adverbial phrase is used in formal writing and business to indicate that something is being sent or handled independently. For instance, 'Enviaremos o contrato em separado' (We will send the contract separately/in a separate cover). This is a common professional idiom that every B1-B2 learner should know. Furthermore, when discussing relationships, 'separado' is the standard way to say someone is no longer living with their spouse. It is less final than 'divorciado' and is often the first word people use when a relationship ends. You might hear, 'Ele está separado há dois meses'. In this case, 'separado' functions as a status. In more technical fields, like science or cooking, 'separado' describes components that have been isolated. 'O soro foi separado do sangue' (The serum was separated from the blood). This highlights the word's utility in describing processes of extraction and purification.
Nós pagamos em boletos separados.
O lixo deve ser separado por tipo de material.
- Common Prepositions
- Separado DE (Separated from) | Separado POR (Separated by) | Em separado (In a separate manner).
You will encounter separado in almost every facet of daily life in a Portuguese-speaking country. In a restaurant, it is perhaps most common when the waiter asks, 'A conta é junto ou separado?' (Is the bill together or separate?). This is a daily occurrence. In administrative and legal settings, you will see it on forms under 'estado civil' (marital status), where 'separado(a) judicialmente' might be an option. In logistics and shipping, packages are often described as being 'enviados em volumes separados' (sent in separate volumes). If you are listening to the news, you might hear about 'grupos separados' of protesters or 'poderes separados' in the context of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government. In domestic life, parents often tell children to keep their toys 'separados' or to keep the 'roupa suja separada da limpa' (dirty clothes separate from the clean ones). The word is so ubiquitous because it serves the fundamental human need to categorize and distinguish.
Garçom, pode trazer as contas separadas, por favor?
In academic and scientific discourse, 'separado' is used to describe variables, experimental groups, or chemical components. 'Os resultados foram analisados de forma separada' (The results were analyzed in a separate way). In literature and music, the word often carries a melancholic tone, referring to lovers who are 'separados pelo destino' (separated by fate) or 'separados pela distância'. This emotional resonance is a staple of Fado in Portugal and MPB in Brazil. Even in technology, you might hear about 'arquivos separados' (separate files) or 'pastas separadas' (separate folders). Whether you are navigating a website, filling out a tax return, or simply chatting with a neighbor about their family, 'separado' is a word that will inevitably surface. It is a building block of clear communication, allowing the speaker to define boundaries and clarify relationships between objects and people.
One of the most frequent errors for English speakers is forgetting the gender and number agreement. Since 'separate' in English is invariable, learners often say 'as contas está separado' instead of the correct 'as contas estão separadas'. Always look at the noun first. Another common pitfall is the choice of preposition. In English, we say 'separated from', and luckily, Portuguese follows a similar logic with 'separado de'. However, learners sometimes mistakenly use 'com' (with) or 'em' (in) when they should use 'de'. For example, 'Ele está separado da esposa' is correct; 'Ele está separado com a esposa' is incorrect. A third mistake involves the confusion between 'separado' and 'sozinho'. While 'separado' means detached or divided, 'sozinho' means alone. You can be 'separado' from someone but not 'sozinho' (because you are with other people). Conversely, you can be 'sozinho' without being 'separado' from anything specific.
Errado: Elas moram em quartos separado.
Correto: Elas moram em quartos separados.
Another nuance is the difference between 'separado' and 'divorciado'. In many Portuguese-speaking cultures, 'separado' is a specific stage where the couple no longer lives together but is still legally married. Calling someone 'divorciado' when they are only 'separado' might be factually incorrect in a legal or social context. Finally, be careful with the phrase 'em separado'. It is a fixed expression. You shouldn't say 'em separados' even if the items are plural. For example: 'Os documentos foram enviados em separado' (The documents were sent separately). Here, 'em separado' acts as an adverbial phrase and does not change for number. Mastering these small distinctions will elevate your Portuguese from basic to proficient and help you avoid common 'gringo' mistakes.
To truly master separado, it helps to understand its neighbors in the semantic field. Words like apartado, distinto, isolado, and dividido all share some DNA with 'separado' but carry different shades of meaning. Apartado is often more formal and implies a physical distance or a 'setting aside', often used in legal or rural contexts (like a remote farm). Distinto focuses on the difference in quality or identity—two things are 'distintos' because they are not the same kind of thing, whereas 'separados' might be identical but just not together. Isolado is much stronger; it implies being completely cut off from everything else, like an 'ilha isolada' (isolated island). Dividido implies that a single whole has been broken into parts, whereas 'separado' can refer to two things that were never necessarily one whole but are just kept apart.
- Separado vs. Distinto
- Use 'separado' for physical or social distance. Use 'distinto' for differences in characteristics or clear identification.
- Separado vs. Isolado
- 'Separado' means not together; 'Isolado' means alone and cut off from contact.
- Separado vs. Dividido
- 'Dividido' suggests a split (like a cake or a country); 'separado' suggests a lack of connection between two entities.
In common usage, you might also hear desconectado (disconnected) or desunido (disunited). 'Desconectado' is almost exclusively for technology or abstract logic, while 'desunido' is used for groups of people, like a 'família desunida' (a family that doesn't get along). 'Separado' remains the most versatile and neutral of all these options. Whether you are talking about laundry, bank accounts, or living arrangements, 'separado' is your go-to word. Understanding these synonyms allows you to choose the exact level of intensity and formality required for your specific situation, making your Portuguese sound more natural and precise.

ヒント
Agreement is Key
Always look at the noun. If it's 'as meninas', use 'separadas'. If it's 'o grupo', use 'separado'. This is the most common mistake for beginners.
At the Restaurant
Waiters will almost always ask 'Junto ou separado?'. It's one of the first real-world interactions you'll have. Practice saying 'separado' with a tap 'r'.
Business Emails
Use 'em separado' when you are sending something in a different email or package. It sounds very professional and clear. 'Segue o contrato em separado'.
Don't confuse with 'sozinho'
'Separado' means detached; 'sozinho' means alone. You can be 'separado' from your wife but surrounded by friends. Use them correctly to avoid confusion.
Marital Status
Be careful when filling out forms. 'Separado' is a legal status in many Portuguese-speaking countries. It's different from 'solteiro' (single) or 'divorciado' (divorced).
The Single 'R'
The 'r' in 'separado' is a single tap of the tongue. It's not the 'h' sound like in 'rato'. Practice by saying 'better' in a fast American accent.
Sorting Things
Use 'separado' whenever you are organizing. 'Roupas brancas separadas das coloridas'. It's a great word for describing your cleaning or organizing routine.
Conceptual Division
Use 'separado' to clarify that two ideas are not the same. 'Isso é um assunto separado'. It helps you keep your arguments clear and structured.
The 'De' Connection
Memorize 'separado de'. It's a fixed pair. 'Separado do mundo', 'separado da família'. The 'de' often contracts with the article.
Vary your Synonyms
Once you master 'separado', try using 'distinto' or 'independente' to sound more sophisticated. But 'separado' is always a safe and correct choice.

よくある質問
10 問No, it usually means the couple is no longer living together but hasn't legally divorced yet. It is a stage before divorce. In Portuguese, 'separado' is a specific legal and social category. You should use 'divorciado' only when the legal process is finished. Many people stay 'separados' for years without ever getting a formal divorce.
You can say 'pagar separado' or 'contas separadas'. When the waiter asks 'Junto ou separado?', you simply reply 'separado'. It is a very common and polite way to handle the bill in Brazil and Portugal. You don't need a complex verb; the adjective works perfectly here.
It is always 'separado de'. For example, 'O quarto é separado da sala'. Using 'com' is a common mistake for English speakers. Think of it as 'separated FROM' in English. The preposition 'de' connects the two things being kept apart.
Usually, 'separado' refers to physical or social distance. If you mean things are different in type, 'distinto' or 'diferente' is better. However, you can say 'são dois assuntos separados' to mean they are distinct topics. It implies they should be treated independently.
It means 'separately' or 'in a separate cover'. It's very common in business. For example, if you send an email and then a letter, the letter is sent 'em separado'. It's a fixed phrase that doesn't change for gender or number.
Yes, it is an adjective. So it becomes 'separados' for masculine plural and 'separadas' for feminine plural. For example: 'dois livros separados' or 'duas casas separadas'. Always match the noun.
Technically it's an adjective, but in phrases like 'viver separado' or 'pagar separado', it functions adverbially. In these cases, it often stays in the masculine singular form in some dialects, but standard grammar prefers agreement: 'Eles vivem separados'.
'Apartado' is more formal and often refers to something set aside in a specific location, like a P.O. Box (apartado postal). 'Separado' is the general, everyday word for anything that isn't together. You'll hear 'separado' 99% of the time.
You can say 'Eu separo o lixo' (I separate the trash) or 'O lixo deve estar separado'. It's the standard word for sorting materials. In many cities, you have 'coleta separada' for recyclables.
It's neutral. It can be a simple observation about objects or a serious statement about a marriage. The context determines the emotional weight. It's not inherently negative or positive.
