sessenta 30秒で
- Sessenta is the Portuguese word for sixty (60).
- It's a cardinal number used for counting, age, time, and quantities.
- It remains unchanged regardless of the noun's gender or number.
- Commonly used in everyday conversations, shopping, and formal contexts.
- Meaning
- Sessenta is the Portuguese word for the number sixty. It represents the quantity of 60, derived from multiplying six by ten (seis vezes dez).
- Usage
- This word is used in a wide variety of contexts whenever the number sixty is relevant. This includes counting objects, indicating age, specifying time, mentioning prices, referring to quantities, and much more. It is a fundamental number in everyday life and is encountered frequently in spoken and written Portuguese. For instance, if someone is sixty years old, they would say 'Tenho sessenta anos'. If an event happened sixty minutes ago, you might hear 'Aconteceu há sessenta minutos'. It's essential for basic numeracy and understanding quantities in Portuguese-speaking environments.
A reunião terá a duração de sessenta minutos.
Ele completou sessenta anos na semana passada.
O preço total foi de sessenta euros.
- Numerical Context
- Sessenta is part of the cardinal number system in Portuguese. It follows 'cinquenta' (fifty) and precedes 'setenta' (seventy). Understanding its position in the number sequence is key to mastering Portuguese numerals. The structure of Portuguese numbers, especially from fifty onwards, can sometimes be complex, but 'sessenta' itself is a distinct and common term. It's often used in everyday transactions, scheduling, and discussions about quantities. For example, if you are buying items and the total reaches 60 units of currency, 'sessenta' will be used. Similarly, if you are discussing a duration of time, like a meeting that lasts an hour, you might hear 'uma hora' or, more specifically, 'sessenta minutos'.
- Everyday Scenarios
- Imagine you are in a Portuguese market. The vendor might say the price of an item is 'sessenta reais'. Or perhaps you are discussing the population of a small town, and you hear that it has around 'sessenta mil habitantes'. In a classroom setting, a teacher might ask students to count to 'sessenta'. Even in casual conversation, when discussing the number of people at an event, you might hear 'Havia mais ou menos sessenta pessoas'. It's a number that appears in diverse situations, from financial matters to statistical data, making it a crucial vocabulary item for anyone learning Portuguese.
- Basic Structure
- 'Sessenta' functions as a determiner (specifically, a cardinal number) and is placed before the noun it quantifies. It does not change based on gender or number, as it is a fixed numerical value. For example, 'sessenta carros' (sixty cars) and 'sessenta casas' (sixty houses) both use 'sessenta' without any modification. This simplicity makes it easier to integrate into sentences once you understand its basic placement.
Eu tenho sessenta livros na minha estante.
- Expressing Age
- When stating someone's age, 'sessenta' is used with the verb 'ter' (to have), similar to English. The structure is typically 'Ele/Ela tem sessenta anos' (He/She is sixty years old).
A minha avó fará sessenta anos no próximo mês.
- Indicating Time and Duration
- 'Sessenta' is commonly used when referring to minutes or hours. For instance, 'sessenta minutos' (sixty minutes) or 'sessenta segundos' (sixty seconds). It can also be part of larger time expressions.
A palestra durou exatamente sessenta minutos.
- Quantities and Measurements
- When counting items, money, or any measurable quantity, 'sessenta' is used directly before the noun.
Comprei sessenta metros de tecido.
- In Larger Numbers
- 'Sessenta' can also be part of larger numbers, such as 'sessenta e um' (sixty-one), 'sessenta e dois' (sixty-two), and so on, up to 'sessenta e nove' (sixty-nine). The conjunction 'e' (and) is used between 'sessenta' and the unit digit.
A população aumentou para sessenta e cinco mil habitantes.
- Everyday Conversations
- You will hear 'sessenta' frequently in casual chats. For example, if friends are discussing how many people attended a party, someone might say, 'Acho que éramos sessenta'. Or when talking about the price of a significant item, like a used car, 'Ele comprou por sessenta mil escudos' (He bought it for sixty thousand escudos, using an older currency, but illustrating the number usage). It's a number that comes up naturally when people share information about quantities, ages, or prices.
Quantos anos tem o seu irmão? Ele tem sessenta.
- Shopping and Transactions
- In shops, markets, or when paying bills, 'sessenta' is a common figure. A cashier might tell you the total is 'sessenta e cinco reais'. Or when discussing the cost of services, like a monthly subscription, 'O plano custa sessenta euros por mês'. You'll hear it when dealing with currency, quantities of goods, and service charges.
O total da sua compra é de sessenta e dois reais.
- News and Information
- News reports often involve numbers. You might hear about a government initiative with a budget of 'sessenta milhões de euros' or a statistic stating that 'sessenta por cento da população concorda com a medida'. Weather forecasts might mention a temperature reaching 'sessenta graus' in a specific region (though this is less common for everyday temperatures, it illustrates the number's use in data). Even sports commentary can feature it, like a player scoring 'sessenta pontos'.
A pesquisa indicou que sessenta por cento dos entrevistados preferem o novo produto.
- Formal Settings and Official Documents
- In formal contexts, such as legal documents, contracts, or official reports, 'sessenta' will be used to denote the number 60. For example, a contract might specify a payment due within 'sessenta dias' (sixty days) or a fine of 'sessenta mil kwanzas' (sixty thousand kwanzas). Even in academic settings, when discussing data or historical events, this number will appear.
O prazo para a entrega do projeto é de sessenta dias úteis.
- Confusing with Similar Numbers
- Learners might sometimes confuse 'sessenta' with numbers that sound similar or are in the same numerical range, such as 'setenta' (seventy) or 'cinquenta' (fifty). This is a common issue with numbers across languages. Careful pronunciation practice and repetition are key to distinguishing them clearly.
Incorrect: Ele tem setenta anos. (Meaning: He is seventy years old.)
Correct: Ele tem sessenta anos. (Meaning: He is sixty years old.)
- Incorrect Placement with Nouns
- While 'sessenta' is straightforward, learners might occasionally try to modify it or place it incorrectly relative to the noun. Remember, it typically precedes the noun it quantifies and remains invariable. There's no plural or gender agreement to worry about with 'sessenta' itself.
Incorrect: Sessentas pessoas vieram à festa. (Attempting to pluralize the number.)
Correct: Sessenta pessoas vieram à festa. (Sixty people came to the party.)
- Pronunciation Issues
- The 's' sound at the beginning and the 't' sound can sometimes be tricky for English speakers. Ensuring the 's' is a clear /s/ and the 't' is not aspirated like in English 't' is important for accurate pronunciation. The final 'a' sound should be open, similar to the 'a' in 'father'.
Common mispronunciation might involve a softer 's' or a different vowel sound at the end. Focus on the clear 's' and the distinct 'eh-nt-ah' sound.
- Overuse or Underuse
- Sometimes, learners might avoid using numbers like 'sessenta' because they feel unsure. Instead, they might use approximations or rephrase sentences. It's important to practice using specific numbers like 'sessenta' to build confidence and fluency.
Instead of saying 'Muitas pessoas estavam lá', try to be more specific: 'Cerca de sessenta pessoas estavam lá.'
- Synonyms (Numbers)
- As a cardinal number, 'sessenta' doesn't have direct synonyms in the way that common nouns or verbs do. However, it can be expressed in other ways in specific contexts, though these are less direct equivalents and more descriptive alternatives.
- Approximations
- In less precise situations, you might use words that suggest a quantity around sixty. For example, 'cerca de sessenta' (around sixty), 'aproximadamente sessenta' (approximately sixty), 'mais ou menos sessenta' (more or less sixty), or even vaguer terms like 'muitas' (many) if the exact number isn't crucial.
Exact: Havia sessenta pessoas na sala. (There were sixty people in the room.)
Approximate: Havia cerca de sessenta pessoas na sala. (There were around sixty people in the room.)
- Related Numbers
- Understanding numbers around 'sessenta' is also important. These include 'cinquenta' (fifty), 'setenta' (seventy), and numbers like 'meia dúzia' (half a dozen, which is 6, but shows the concept of grouping) or 'uma centena' (one hundred). Knowing these helps place 'sessenta' in the numerical sequence.
- Alternative Phrases for Duration
- While 'sessenta minutos' is the standard for sixty minutes, in some contexts, you might hear 'uma hora' (one hour), which is equivalent. However, when precision is needed, 'sessenta minutos' is preferred.
Equivalent: A reunião durou sessenta minutos. (The meeting lasted sixty minutes.)
Equivalent: A reunião durou uma hora. (The meeting lasted one hour.)
- Numbers in Different Currencies
- When referring to money, 'sessenta' will be followed by the currency unit, like 'sessenta reais', 'sessenta euros', 'sessenta dólares', etc. The number itself remains 'sessenta'.
How Formal Is It?
豆知識
The structure of numbers in Romance languages often reflects their Latin origins. 'Sexaginta' in Latin evolved into 'sessenta' in Portuguese, 'soixante' in French, 'sesenta' in Spanish, and 'sessanta' in Italian, showing a clear linguistic lineage. The pattern of using a suffix like '-ginta' or '-enta' to denote multiples of ten is common.

- Confusing the vowel sounds, especially the unstressed 'e' sounds.
- Misplacing the stress, for example, stressing the first syllable instead of the second.

Writing 'sessenta' correctly is also simple once memorized. The main challenge might be spelling it consistently, but it's a high-frequency word.
Pronunciation can be slightly tricky for some learners, particularly the 't' sound and the final 'a'. However, with practice, it becomes easy to articulate.

Setenta (seventy) is numerically close to sessenta (sixty) and can be confused due to similar sounds, especially for new learners. Careful listening and pronunciation practice are needed to distinguish them.
Cinquenta (fifty) is also in the same numerical range and can be confused with sessenta. The initial 'cin' sound is different from 'ses', which can help differentiate them.
This is not being confused with sessenta itself, but rather learners might forget the 'e' when forming compound numbers. Sessenta e um means sixty-one, while sessenta means sixty.

Similar phonetic structure, particularly the ending '-enta'.
Sessenta refers to the number 60, while setenta refers to the number 70. The initial consonant sound ('s' vs. 's') and the vowel sounds are key differentiators. Sessenta has a clearer 'e' in the first syllable and a stress on the second. Setenta has a clearer 'e' in the first syllable and stress on the second.
Eu tenho sessenta anos. (I am sixty years old.) vs. Ele tem setenta anos. (He is seventy years old.)
Both are two-syllable numbers ending in '-enta' and are part of the main tens.
Sessenta means 60, while cinquenta means 50. The initial sound is the most obvious difference: 'ses-' vs. 'cin-'. Cinquenta starts with a 'sin' sound.
Comprei cinquenta flores. (I bought fifty flowers.) vs. Precisamos de sessenta flores. (We need sixty flowers.)
Both words share the root 'cent-' which relates to hundreds, and 'sessenta' itself is a multiple of ten, related to the idea of grouping.
'Sessenta' is the specific number 60. 'Centena' means 'hundred' or 'a group of one hundred'. While sessenta is related to the tens, centena is about the hundreds. Sessenta is a cardinal number, while centena is a noun representing a quantity.
Comprei sessenta quilos de arroz. (I bought sixty kilos of rice.) vs. Havia uma centena de pessoas no evento. (There were a hundred people at the event.)
Sessenta is six tens, so the root 'seis' (six) is present. Learners might confuse the specific number with its component parts.
'Seis' means six (6). 'Sessenta' means sixty (60). Sessenta is a much larger quantity and is formed by multiplying six by ten. They are distinct numbers in the sequence.
Tenho seis livros. (I have six books.) vs. Tenho sessenta livros. (I have sixty books.)
Sessenta is formed by six times ten, so 'dez' (ten) is a fundamental component.
'Dez' means ten (10). 'Sessenta' means sixty (60). Sessenta is six times the value of dez.
São dez horas. (It is ten o'clock.) vs. São sessenta minutos. (It is sixty minutes.)

Sessenta
Both words refer to numbers in the sixties and seventies respectively. Learners might mishear or mispronounce them. Focus on the initial 's' sound and the stress pattern.

→
Soft, dental 't' sound.

Stress on the second syllable: ses-SEN-ta.
The stress in 'sessenta' falls on the second syllable. Incorrect stress can make the word difficult to understand or sound unnatural. Practice saying it aloud with the correct emphasis.
ヒント
Master the 'T' Sound
The 't' in 'sessenta' is dental, meaning your tongue touches the back of your front teeth. It's softer than the English 't' and not aspirated. Practice saying 'tenta' (tries) to get the feel for it before applying it to 'sessenta'.
Connect to English 'Sixty'
The English word 'sixty' shares the initial 's' sound and a similar vowel structure to 'sessenta'. Create a mental link by visualizing the number 60 and repeating 'sessenta' while thinking of 'sixty'.
Practice with Contexts
Don't just memorize the word. Practice using 'sessenta' in sentences related to different contexts: age ('Tenho sessenta anos'), time ('sessenta minutos'), money ('sessenta reais'), and quantities ('sessenta livros').
Listen for Numbers in Media
Actively listen for numbers, especially 'sessenta', in Portuguese songs, movies, or news broadcasts. This will help you internalize its sound and usage in natural speech.
Spell it Correctly
Pay attention to the spelling: s-e-s-s-e-n-t-a. Ensure you have the double 's' and the correct vowel sequence. Consistent writing practice will help solidify the spelling.
Invariable Nature
Remember that 'sessenta' is invariable. It doesn't change for gender or number. This simplifies its use significantly compared to adjectives or nouns. Just say 'sessenta' followed by the noun.
Learn 'Sessenta e ...'
Practice forming numbers from 61 to 69 by adding 'e' (and) after 'sessenta'. For example, 'sessenta e um' (61), 'sessenta e cinco' (65). This is a common pattern for numbers in this range.
Using Approximations
Learn phrases like 'cerca de sessenta' (around sixty) or 'mais ou menos sessenta' (more or less sixty) for when you don't need an exact number. This is very useful in casual conversation.
Distinguish from Similar Numbers
Actively practice distinguishing 'sessenta' from 'cinquenta' and 'setenta'. Say them aloud, write them down, and listen for the initial sounds and stresses.
Relate to Real-Life
Think about things in your life that might be around sixty: a grandparent's age, minutes in an hour, or the number of days in two months. Connecting 'sessenta' to these real-world examples makes it more memorable.

語源
The Portuguese word 'sessenta' originates from Latin. It is derived from the Latin word 'sexaginta', which directly means sixty.
元の意味： The original Latin meaning of 'sexaginta' was the number sixty, formed from 'sex' (six) and 'aginta' (a suffix indicating tens).
Indo-European > Italic > Latin > Romance > Portuguese文化的な背景
The number sixty itself does not carry inherent cultural sensitivities. However, its use in contexts like age can be sensitive depending on the cultural perception of aging. In many Portuguese-speaking cultures, reaching sixty is a respected milestone, often associated with wisdom and retirement, but discussions about age should always be approached with respect.
In English-speaking contexts, the number sixty is represented by the numeral '60' or the word 'sixty'.

よくある質問
10 問In formal documents, it's common to see numbers written both ways. Often, smaller numbers or numbers that are key figures might be written out as words ('sessenta'), while larger or more technical numbers might be written as numerals (60). Some style guides recommend writing out numbers up to one hundred. For clarity, especially with large sums of money, both the word and the numeral might be used (e.g., 'sessenta mil (60.000) euros').
You can say 'sessenta e poucos' to mean 'sixty-something' or 'in his/her early sixties'. For example, 'Ele tem sessenta e poucos anos' means 'He is in his early sixties' or 'He is sixty-something years old'.
No, 'sessenta' is an invariable cardinal number. It does not change its form based on the gender or number of the noun it quantifies. For example, you say 'sessenta carros' (sixty cars) and 'sessenta casas' (sixty houses).
The pronunciation is approximately /seˈsɛntə/. The stress is on the second syllable, 'sen'. The 's' is clear, the 't' is soft, and the final 'a' is open, like in 'father'.
Common mistakes include confusing it with similar numbers like 'setenta' (seventy) or 'cinquenta' (fifty) due to phonetic similarities. Another mistake is trying to make it plural or change its form for gender, which is incorrect as cardinal numbers are invariable.
Yes, absolutely. You can form larger numbers like 'sessenta mil' (sixty thousand) or 'sessenta milhões' (sixty million). When using 'milhão' or 'bilhão' before a noun, you typically add 'de', for example, 'sessenta milhões de habitantes' (sixty million inhabitants).
Yes, phrases like 'aos sessenta, a vida começa' (life begins at sixty) are common sayings suggesting that sixty is a good age for new beginnings, often associated with retirement. Also, 'sessenta e poucos anos' is used to mean 'sixty-something'.
It depends on the context and style guide. Generally, numbers up to ten are often written out. For larger numbers like 'sessenta', it's common to write them as numerals (60) in technical writing, statistics, or financial reports for clarity. In more narrative or literary contexts, writing 'sessenta' might be preferred. When in doubt, check the specific style guide you are following.
Both refer to the same duration of time. 'Sessenta minutos' is the direct numerical expression for sixty minutes. 'Uma hora' means 'one hour'. They are interchangeable when referring to a 60-minute period, but 'sessenta minutos' emphasizes the specific count of minutes, while 'uma hora' emphasizes the complete unit of time.
For most learners, 'sessenta' is a relatively easy number to learn. Its pronunciation is manageable with practice, and its usage is straightforward as a cardinal number. The main challenges lie in distinguishing it from similar numbers like 'setenta' and using it correctly in compound numbers and larger figures.
