뜻
To experience physical discomfort or ache.
문화적 배경
Brazilians are very expressive about health. It is common to hear people complaining about 'dor' in social settings as a way to bond or seek empathy. In Portugal, the plural 'dores' is frequently used for general body discomfort, and the tone might be slightly more formal than in Brazil. In some African Portuguese varieties, 'sentir dor' can be used in very rhythmic and metaphorical ways in music (Kizomba/Semba) to describe social struggle. In Portuguese-speaking hospitals, the 'Escala de Dor' (Pain Scale) from 0 to 10 is standard. You will be asked: 'De 0 a 10, quanta dor você sente?'
The 'De' Rule
When the pain is inside an organ or a general area, use 'de': dor de cabeça, dor de dente, dor de estômago.
Avoid 'Ter'
While 'ter dor' is understood, 'estar com dor' or 'sentir dor' sounds much more natural to native ears.

The Diminutive
If someone says they have a 'dorzinha', they might be downplaying a serious problem. Brazilians often do this to avoid worrying others.
