When something is alugado, it means it's rented. Think of it like a car, an apartment, or even a piece of equipment that someone is paying to use for a period of time. It's the past participle of the verb "alugar" (to rent).

§ Understanding "alugado"
Alright, let's talk about the Portuguese word "alugado." This isn't a tricky one, but it's super common, so you'll want to get it right. Basically, when something is "alugado," it means it's rented. Think of it as the past participle of the verb "alugar" (to rent), but here it's acting as an adjective. It's used to describe a property, like a house or an apartment, that someone is paying to use for a period of time.
- DEFINITION
- Property that is being rented.
§ How to use it in a sentence — grammar, prepositions
Since "alugado" is an adjective, it needs to agree in gender and number with the noun it describes. This is standard Portuguese grammar, so no surprises here. If you're talking about a masculine singular noun (like o apartamento - the apartment), you'll use "alugado." For feminine singular (like a casa - the house), it's "alugada." Plural forms are "alugados" for masculine plural and "alugadas" for feminine plural.
Let's look at some examples so you can see it in action.
Eu moro em um apartamento alugado.
Here, "apartamento" is masculine singular, so we use "alugado."
A casa dela é alugada.
"Casa" is feminine singular, so we use "alugada." Easy, right?
Todos os quartos no hotel são alugados.
"Quartos" (rooms) is masculine plural, so we go with "alugados."
As bicicletas que usamos são alugadas.
"Bicicletas" (bicycles) is feminine plural, so we use "alugadas."
You'll often see "alugado" with the verb "ser" (to be), as in "A casa é alugada" (The house is rented). You can also use it to describe something that has been rented, for instance:
Encontrei um carro alugado para a viagem.
Here, "carro" (car) is masculine singular, so "alugado" is used. It means you found a rental car, or a car that has been rented.
Prepositions usually aren't directly attached to "alugado" itself in the way they might be with verbs. Instead, prepositions will be used in relation to the noun being described or the larger sentence structure. For example, if you're talking about renting *from* someone, that preposition would relate to the verb "alugar" not the adjective "alugado."
- De (of/from): While not directly with "alugado," you might hear phrases like "casa de aluguel" (rental house), where "aluguel" is the noun for rent.
- Para (for): Again, you might say "um quarto para alugar" (a room to rent), but this uses the infinitive verb, not the adjective.
The key takeaway is that "alugado" is straightforward as an adjective. It describes the state of a property. Don't overthink prepositions with it; focus on gender and number agreement.
§ What 'Alugado' Means
- DEFINITION
- Property that is being rented.
In Portuguese, the word 'alugado' is an adjective that describes something that is rented. It comes from the verb 'alugar' (to rent). You'll most often hear it when people are talking about homes, apartments, or even cars that are rented out. It's a very common word, especially if you're living in or moving to a Portuguese-speaking country and dealing with housing.
Este apartamento é alugado.
This means: This apartment is rented. Simple, right?
Ela mora numa casa alugada.
This means: She lives in a rented house. Notice how 'alugada' matches 'casa' (house), which is feminine.
§ 'Alugado' vs. 'Para Alugar'
You might also see the phrase 'para alugar'. While 'alugado' describes something that *is* currently rented, 'para alugar' means 'for rent' or 'to rent'. It indicates that a property is available for someone to rent.
Há muitos apartamentos para alugar nesta área.
This means: There are many apartments for rent in this area.
§ Grammatical Forms of 'Alugado'
Like many Portuguese adjectives, 'alugado' changes its ending to match the gender and number of the noun it describes. Here are the forms:
- Masculine singular: alugado (o carro alugado - the rented car)
- Feminine singular: alugada (a casa alugada - the rented house)
- Masculine plural: alugados (os quartos alugados - the rented rooms)
- Feminine plural: alugadas (as bicicletas alugadas - the rented bicycles)
Pay attention to these endings! Getting them right will make your Portuguese sound much more natural.
§ Common Uses
You'll use 'alugado' in many everyday situations, especially when talking about property or vehicles.
- Talking about a specific item:
O carro que usamos era alugado.
This means: The car we used was rented.
- Describing someone's living situation:
Ele vive num apartamento alugado no centro.
This means: He lives in a rented apartment downtown.
§ Similar Words and When to Use 'Alugado'
There isn't a direct synonym that means exactly the same as 'alugado' in all contexts, but understanding related terms will help you use it correctly.
- 'Arrendado' (Portugal): In Portugal, 'arrendado' is often used interchangeably with 'alugado', especially for properties. While 'alugar' and 'arrendar' both mean 'to rent', 'arrendamento' is the common term for a property rental contract in Portugal. In Brazil, 'aluguel' and 'alugado' are almost universally preferred.
A casa foi arrendada por três anos. (Portugal)
This means: The house was rented for three years.
- 'Locado' (More formal/less common): You might encounter 'locado' in more formal or legalistic texts, derived from 'locar' (to rent out, to lease). It's far less common in everyday conversation than 'alugado'.
When to use 'alugado':
Use 'alugado' when you want to describe an item (like an apartment, car, or even equipment) that is currently under a rental agreement and being used by the person who rented it. It focuses on the status of the item.
- If you're in Brazil, 'alugado' is your go-to word.
- If you're in Portugal, 'alugado' is perfectly understood, but 'arrendado' is also very common for properties.
Avoid using 'alugado' when:
- You mean 'for rent' or 'available to rent' – use 'para alugar'.
- You're talking about the act of renting something yourself – use forms of the verb 'alugar' (e.g., 'Eu aluguei um carro' - I rented a car).
How Formal Is It?
"O apartamento arrendado oferece uma vista panorâmica da cidade. (The rented apartment offers a panoramic view of the city.)"
"A casa alugada na praia é perfeita para as férias de verão. (The rented house on the beach is perfect for summer vacation.)"
"Pegamos um carro alugado para a viagem. (We got a rented car for the trip.)"
"A bicicleta emprestada do João é muito legal. (João's borrowed bike is very cool.)"
"Essa camisa está arrendada, né? (This shirt is borrowed, right? - implying it's not yours or new)"

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문Alugado is an adjective that describes a property that is being rented. Think of it as 'rented' or 'for rent' when talking about a house or an apartment.
You can use it like this:
'A casa é alugada.' (The house is rented.)
'O apartamento alugado tem dois quartos.' (The rented apartment has two bedrooms.)
It depends on the noun it's describing. Since it's an adjective, it changes to match the gender and number of the noun. So, for a feminine noun like 'casa' (house), it's 'alugada'. For a masculine noun like 'apartamento' (apartment), it's 'alugado'.
Alugado means it IS rented, or it IS a rented property. Para alugar means 'for rent' or 'to rent'. So, a sign might say 'Para alugar' to indicate a property is available to be rented, but once it's taken, it becomes 'alugado'.
While its primary use is for property, you might occasionally hear it for something like a car that has been rented, though 'alugado' (the past participle of 'alugar' - to rent) is more common in that context. For property, it's very specifically about something that is in a state of being rented.
The verb is alugar, which means 'to rent'. 'Alugado' is the past participle of 'alugar'.
It doesn't specifically imply either. It just means the property is currently under a rental agreement, whether it's for a vacation or a year-long lease.
You'll often hear 'casa alugada' (rented house) or 'apartamento alugado' (rented apartment) when people are talking about their living situation or property they own and rent out.
You'd use the verb 'alugar' in the past tense: 'Nós alugamos uma casa.' (We rented a house.) If you want to describe the house as 'rented,' you'd say: 'A casa era alugada.' (The house was rented.)
If a property is no longer rented, it's often described as 'vago' (vacant) or 'disponível' (available). If you're talking about ownership, the opposite would be 'próprio' (owned) or 'comprado' (bought).
