解説 vacância in your Level:

At the A1 level, the word 'vacância' might be too advanced for daily conversation, but it is important to understand its basic meaning: 'something is empty'. At this stage, you should focus on its simpler cousin, 'vaga'. Imagine you are looking for a place to sit. You see an empty chair. In your mind, that is a 'vaga'. 'Vacância' is just the very formal way to say that the chair is unoccupied. You might see this word on a sign in a very formal building or in a simple news headline about a house being empty. Think of it as 'The state of being empty'. Even though you won't use it to ask for a coffee or introduce yourself, knowing it helps you recognize formal announcements. If you see 'Vacância' in a text, just think: 'Empty space' or 'No one is here'. It is the opposite of 'occupied'. In A1, we learn 'vazio' (empty) and 'vaga' (vacancy). 'Vacância' is just the big, formal version of these concepts that adults use in business.

At the A2 level, you are starting to talk about work and professional life. 'Vacância' becomes useful when you read about job openings in a more formal way. While you would still say 'Eu procuro uma vaga' (I am looking for a vacancy), you might encounter 'vacância' in a company email or a news report about the economy. For example, 'A vacância no escritório' means the office has empty desks or rooms. At this level, you should learn to associate 'vacância' with 'jobs' and 'buildings'. It is a noun. You can remember it by looking at the word 'vacant' in English. They look very similar! In A2, you can start using it in simple formal sentences like 'A vacância é um problema' (The vacancy is a problem). This shows you are moving beyond basic Portuguese and starting to understand how professionals speak. It is particularly common in Brazil when talking about 'concursos' (government job exams). If there is a 'vacância', it means there is a chance for a new exam.

As a B1 learner, you can now distinguish between different types of vacancies. You should understand that 'vacância' is specifically used in administrative and real estate contexts. In B1, you will encounter the term 'taxa de vacância' (vacancy rate). This is very important if you are interested in business or looking for an apartment in a big city like Lisbon or São Paulo. You can now use the word in sentences to describe why a position is open: 'Houve uma vacância porque o gerente se aposentou' (There was a vacancy because the manager retired). You are also learning to use feminine articles correctly with it: 'a vacância', 'uma vacância'. You should be able to explain the difference between 'vaga' (common) and 'vacância' (formal) to someone else. At this level, you might also see it in legal contexts, such as when a law is being discussed. It’s a great word to use in a formal letter to an HR department to sound more professional and educated.

At the B2 level, you are expected to use 'vacância' with precision in professional and academic settings. You should understand the nuance of 'vacância' as a legal status. In Brazil, for instance, Law 8.112/90 defines 'vacância' as the official moment a public post becomes empty due to resignation, retirement, promotion, or death. You can participate in discussions about the real estate market using terms like 'vacância física' and 'vacância financeira'. You understand that 'vacância física' refers to the actual empty space, while 'vacância financeira' refers to the loss of money because that space isn't rented. Your vocabulary is now sophisticated enough to use the adjective form 'vacante' as well. You can write reports or give presentations about market trends: 'A taxa de vacância nos grandes centros urbanos está diminuindo' (The vacancy rate in large urban centers is decreasing). You no longer confuse it with casual openings and you use it to add a layer of formality to your professional Portuguese.

At the C2 level, 'vacância' is a tool for precise and nuanced communication. You can use it to discuss abstract concepts such as the 'vacância do poder' in political science or the philosophical implications of 'vacuidade' vs. 'vacância'. You are fully aware of the linguistic evolution of the word from Latin 'vacantia' and how it has branched into different meanings in modern Portuguese compared to other Romance languages. You can draft complex legal documents, such as an 'Edital de Vacância', or write high-level economic analyses where 'vacância' is a central variable. You understand the subtle differences in usage between Portugal and Brazil, noting that while the technical meaning is the same, the frequency of use in certain professional sectors may vary. You can use the word with rhetorical flair in speeches or formal addresses, knowing exactly how to balance its technical weight with the flow of your argument. Your mastery is such that you can even play with the word's formal connotations to create irony or emphasis in sophisticated writing.

vacância 30秒で

Vacância is a formal Portuguese noun meaning 'vacancy', primarily used in business, law, and real estate contexts to describe unoccupied positions or properties.
It differs from the common word 'vaga' by its higher register and technical application in official administrative acts and financial reports.
Commonly heard in phrases like 'taxa de vacância' (vacancy rate) when discussing real estate investment funds or the status of government offices.
The word has Latin roots and carries a sense of official procedure, often requiring a formal declaration to exist in a professional setting.

The Portuguese word vacância is a formal noun that refers to the state of being vacant, particularly in the context of a job position, a public office, or real estate. While English speakers might use the word 'vacancy' for everything from a hotel room to a job opening, Portuguese distinguishes between the everyday vaga and the more administrative and legalistic vacância. In professional and legal spheres, vacância describes the official moment or period during which a post is unoccupied. This is not just a casual 'opening'; it is often a formal declaration that a position is now empty and needs to be filled according to specific protocols.

Professional Context: In human resources and public administration, vacância is used to describe the status of a role after an employee has resigned, retired, or been promoted. It implies a bureaucratic process is underway.

A vacância do cargo de diretor foi publicada no Diário Oficial hoje de manhã.

Beyond the workplace, vacância is a critical term in the world of finance and real estate, specifically regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts (known in Brazil as FIIs - Fundos de Investimento Imobiliário). Here, investors track two types: vacância física (physical vacancy), which measures the percentage of square footage not currently rented, and vacância financeira (financial vacancy), which measures the lost potential income from those empty spaces. For an English speaker learning Portuguese, using vacância instead of vaga when discussing investments or official government acts marks you as a sophisticated speaker with a command of formal terminology.

Legal Context: In constitutional law, vacância refers to the absence of a leader, such as the 'vacância da Presidência da República', which triggers specific succession laws.

A lei prevê o que deve ser feito em caso de vacância simultânea do Presidente e do Vice-Presidente.

Historically, the term has roots in ecclesiastical law as well. The 'Sede Vacante' (Vacant See) is the period when a diocese or the Papacy is without a bishop or Pope. This usage highlights the term's connection to high-level authority and institutional continuity. While you won't hear a teenager use vacância to describe an empty seat on a bus, you will encounter it daily in business news, legal documents, and official corporate communications. It is a word that conveys stability and process, focusing on the gap left behind in a structure rather than just the emptiness of a space.

Real Estate Context: Investors look for a low 'taxa de vacância' to ensure that a property is generating maximum rental income.

O fundo imobiliário apresentou uma vacância de apenas cinco por cento no último trimestre.

Devido à vacância do posto, as decisões foram adiadas por tempo indeterminado.

A prefeitura anunciou a vacância de dez cargos de professor titular.

Using vacância correctly requires understanding its role as a formal noun. It is almost always preceded by an article (a, uma) or used in compound terms like 'taxa de vacância'. Because it is a feminine noun, you must ensure that all accompanying adjectives agree in gender. For example, you would say 'vacância absoluta' (absolute vacancy) or 'vacância temporária' (temporary vacancy). It is rarely used in the plural, though 'vacâncias' is grammatically correct when referring to multiple distinct instances of positions becoming open.

Common Structure: [Artigo] + vacância + [de/do/da] + [Substantivo]. Example: 'A vacância do imóvel'.

Precisamos reduzir a vacância financeira do nosso portfólio de prédios comerciais.

When discussing employment, especially in the civil service (concursos públicos), vacância is the technical term for the moment a position is legally available. If a civil servant retires, the law states that a 'vacância' has occurred. This is different from a private company simply saying they are 'hiring'. The word carries the weight of a legal event. You might see sentences like 'A vacância decorreu de exoneração a pedido', meaning the vacancy resulted from a voluntary resignation. This level of precision is expected in legal and corporate documentation in Brazil and Portugal.

Investment Reports: In financial reports, you will often find 'vacância' paired with percentages. 'A vacância subiu para 12%'.

O analista destacou que a alta vacância nos shoppings é uma preocupação para os investidores.

In the context of the Catholic Church or other hierarchical organizations, vacância is used to describe the interregnum. For example, 'Durante a vacância da sede episcopal, o colégio de consultores governa a diocese'. This implies a temporary state of waiting. If you are writing a formal letter to an HR department or a government agency, using vacância shows that you understand the formal procedures of the institution. It is much more professional than using 'espaço vazio' or 'vaga'.

Public Service Law: The Brazilian Law 8.112/90 explicitly lists the reasons for 'vacância' in public office.

A vacância por posse em outro cargo inacumulável é comum entre servidores.

Com a vacância do cargo de juiz, centenas de processos ficaram parados.

A vacância física do edifício diminuiu após a reforma da fachada.

If you are watching the news in Brazil or Portugal, specifically segments focused on the economy or politics, you will hear vacância frequently. News anchors use it when discussing unemployment rates in specific sectors or when reporting on the real estate market. For instance, a report might say, 'A vacância nos escritórios de luxo em São Paulo atingiu o menor nível em cinco anos'. In this context, it sounds professional and data-driven. It is the language of analysts and journalists who need to describe market trends with precision.

Business News: Financial channels like Bloomberg Brasil or CNN Business frequently discuss 'taxas de vacância' in logistics and retail.

Os especialistas preveem uma redução na vacância logística com o crescimento do e-commerce.

In a corporate setting, specifically during quarterly results presentations or HR town halls, vacância appears in slides and formal speeches. A manager might say, 'Estamos trabalhando para preencher a vacância em cargos de liderança estratégica'. It sounds more intentional and serious than saying 'we have some empty jobs'. It suggests that the vacancy is a known quantity that is being managed. If you work for a multinational company with offices in Lisbon or Rio, you will see this word in internal memos regarding organizational restructuring or talent acquisition metrics.

Public Administration: Government portals and the 'Diário Oficial' are the primary sources for announcements regarding 'vacância de cargos'.

O edital declara a vacância imediata de três postos no tribunal.

Another place you will encounter this word is in the world of podcasting and YouTube channels dedicated to 'Educação Financeira' (Financial Education). Influencers who explain 'Fundos Imobiliários' (FIIs) spend a lot of time talking about 'vacância'. They will explain how a high 'vacância' can lower the dividends paid to investors. For a language learner, these financial channels are excellent for hearing vacância used in a practical, repetitive way that helps cement the meaning. It is a word associated with 'patrimônio' (wealth) and 'investimento' (investment).

Academic and Legal Lectures: Law students hear this word constantly when studying 'Direito Administrativo' or 'Direito Constitucional'.

Na aula de hoje, discutiremos as hipóteses de vacância previstas na Constituição Federal.

A vacância do cargo de reitor da universidade gerou uma disputa política interna.

O relatório aponta que a vacância de galpões industriais está em queda livre este ano.

One of the most frequent mistakes English speakers make is using vacância in casual situations where vaga is the appropriate choice. If you are looking for a parking spot, you should never say 'Existe uma vacância para o meu carro?'. Instead, use 'Tem uma vaga?'. Vacância is far too heavy and formal for parking, theater seats, or restaurant tables. Using it in these contexts will make you sound like a legal document come to life, which might be confusing or humorous to native speakers.

The 'Vaga' vs. 'Vacância' Trap: Vaga = Casual/General (job opening, parking, seat). Vacância = Formal/Technical (legal status, real estate metrics).

Errado: Há uma vacância no estacionamento. Correto: Há uma vaga no estacionamento.

Another error is confusing vacância with vacância legis. While they share the same root, vacatio legis (often called vacância da lei in a simplified way) refers specifically to the period between the publication of a law and the date it actually becomes enforceable. A student might mistakenly use vacância to describe this legal 'waiting period' for anything, but in Portuguese, vacância on its own almost always refers to the absence of a person in a role or a tenant in a building, not a delay in rules.

Spelling and Pronunciation: Don't forget the circumflex accent on the 'â'. It indicates a closed, nasalized 'a' sound (v-ah-KAHN-see-ah).

A grafia correta é vacância, com acento circunflexo, e não 'vacancia'.

Learners also sometimes confuse vacância with vadiagem (vagrancy/loitering) because of the similar 'va-' start. However, they are completely unrelated. Vacância is a neutral or even positive term in investment (depending on the direction of the trend), whereas vadiagem is a negative social term. Finally, ensure you don't use the verb vagar (to wander/to be vacant) incorrectly as a substitute for the noun. You can say 'o cargo vaga' (the position becomes vacant), but you cannot say 'houve um vagar' when you mean 'houve uma vacância'.

Adjective Confusion: Do not say 'o cargo está vacância'. Say 'o cargo está vacante' or 'existe uma vacância no cargo'.

Errado: O apartamento está vacância. Correto: O apartamento está vago ou vacante.

A vacância não deve ser confundida com o simples ato de estar desocupado temporariamente.

Muitos alunos confundem a vacância do cargo com a demissão do funcionário.

When you want to express the idea of something being empty or available in Portuguese, you have several options depending on the register and the specific object you are referring to. Vacância is at the top of the formality scale. If you are in a boardroom, use vacância. If you are at a barbecue with friends, you will likely never use it. Understanding these alternatives will help you sound more natural and adapt your speech to your surroundings.

Vaga vs. Vacância: Vaga is the most common word. It is used for jobs, parking, and school admissions. It focuses on the opportunity for someone to fill the space.

Consegui uma vaga de emprego naquela empresa multinacional.

Another alternative is abertura (opening). This is often used for events, programs, or new positions that didn't exist before. While vacância implies a previous occupant has left, abertura might suggest a brand-new expansion. Then there is disponibilidade (availability), which is used for people's schedules or the availability of resources. You wouldn't say 'a vacância do meu tempo', but rather 'a minha disponibilidade'. In real estate, you might also hear desocupação (vacating), which focuses on the act of leaving the property rather than the state of it being empty.

Cargo em aberto: A common corporate phrase used instead of 'vacância' to sound slightly less bureaucratic but still professional.

Temos dois cargos em aberto no departamento de marketing.

In very formal or literary Portuguese, you might encounter vacuidade. However, this usually refers to 'emptiness' in a more philosophical or physical sense (like a vacuum or a lack of substance) rather than a job vacancy. For instance, 'a vacuidade de suas palavras' (the emptiness of his words). Using vacuidade to describe a job opening would be a poetic but incorrect choice. Stick to vacância for the structural/official sense and vaga for the everyday sense. This distinction is one of the keys to moving from intermediate to advanced Portuguese proficiency.

Posto vago: Used specifically for military or police positions, as well as formal corporate roles.

O posto vago de capitão será preenchido por merecimento.

A vacância é um termo técnico indispensável no mercado de capitais.

Diferente da simples vaga, a vacância exige um ato administrativo formal.

How Formal Is It?

語源

The word 'vacância' comes from the Latin 'vacantia', which is derived from 'vacans', the present participle of 'vacare', meaning 'to be empty' or 'to be free'. This root also gave rise to the English word 'vacant' and 'vacancy'. In Portuguese, the suffix '-ia' is added to form an abstract noun denoting a state or condition. The transition from Latin to Portuguese maintained the core meaning of 'emptiness', but evolved specifically into administrative and legal terminology.

元の意味： The state of being empty or unoccupied.
