cinema 30초 만에
- Cinema is the Portuguese word for both the movie theater and the art of film.
- It is a masculine noun: 'o cinema'. Use 'ao cinema' for 'to the cinema'.
- Distinguish 'cinema' (the place/art) from 'filme' (the specific movie).
- In Brazil, cinemas are often located inside shopping malls ('shoppings').
The word cinema in Portuguese is a multifaceted noun that primarily refers to the physical location where films are projected, but its semantic reach extends far beyond bricks and mortar. In a literal sense, it is the movie theater. However, it also encompasses the entire Seventh Art (A Sétima Arte), the industry of filmmaking, and the cultural phenomenon of motion pictures. Unlike English, where 'movies' and 'cinema' are often used interchangeably, Portuguese uses 'cinema' for the art and the place, while 'filme' refers to the specific work being watched.
- Physical Space
- O edifício onde as pessoas se reúnem para assistir a projeções em uma tela grande.
- Artistic Medium
- A forma de expressão artística que utiliza a captura e montagem de imagens em movimento.
- Industry
- O setor econômico que envolve produção, distribuição e exibição de obras audiovisuais.
'Nós vamos ao cinema todos os sábados para ver os lançamentos.' (We go to the cinema every Saturday to see the new releases.)
When discussing 'cinema', one must distinguish between the mainstream commercial circuit and the 'cinema de arte' or 'cinema cult'. In Brazil and Portugal, the culture of going to the cinema remains a vital social activity, often centered around large shopping malls (shoppings), though street cinemas (cinemas de rua) hold a nostalgic and prestigious place in urban centers like São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Lisbon.
'O cinema mudo tinha uma expressividade única.' (Silent cinema had a unique expressiveness.)
'O cinema brasileiro ganhou muitos prêmios este ano.' (Brazilian cinema won many awards this year.)
'A história do cinema começou com os irmãos Lumière.' (The history of cinema began with the Lumière brothers.)
'Ela estuda cinema na universidade.' (She studies cinema at the university.)
- Cinema Novo
- A landmark Brazilian film movement of the 1960s emphasizing social realism.
- Pipoca
- Popcorn—the inseparable companion of the cinema experience in Lusophone cultures.
Using 'cinema' correctly involves mastering its common collocations and prepositional requirements. The most frequent use is with the verb ir (to go). In Portuguese, when you go to a place, you use the preposition 'a'. Since 'cinema' is masculine, 'a' + 'o' becomes ao cinema.
- Ir ao cinema: To go to the movies.
- Estar no cinema: To be at the movie theater (right now).
- Fazer cinema: To work in the film industry or make films.
- Gostar de cinema: To like films/the art of film.
When describing a film, you might say 'O filme está em cartaz no cinema' (The movie is currently showing in the theater). If you are referring to the screen itself, you might use 'na telona' (on the big screen), which is a common colloquialism. In academic or professional contexts, 'cinema' refers to the study of cinematography, direction, and screenwriting.
Interestingly, 'cinema' can also be used metaphorically to describe a situation that is dramatic or unbelievable, similar to the English 'like a movie', though 'parece filme' is more common for that specific sentiment. In Portugal, the word is used identically to Brazil, though the accent in pronunciation might shift slightly in cadence.
You will encounter the word 'cinema' in various social and professional settings. In casual conversation, it's the standard term for planning an outing: 'Bora pro cinema?' (Slang for 'Let's go to the movies?'). In news media, you will see it in the 'Cultura' or 'Lazer' sections, where critics review the latest 'estreias de cinema' (cinema premieres).
In educational settings, 'Cinema' is a degree path. You'll hear professors talk about 'linguagem cinematográfica' (cinematic language). In the streets, you'll see signs for 'Cine' followed by a name (e.g., Cine Belas Artes), which is a common abbreviation used in the names of theaters. On social media, hashtags like #cinema, #cinemanacional, and #amocinema are ubiquitous among Portuguese speakers sharing their favorite scenes or reviews.
A frequent mistake for English speakers is using 'cinema' when they actually mean 'filme'. If you want to say 'I watched a great cinema last night,' that is incorrect in Portuguese. You should say 'Eu assisti a um ótimo filme ontem à noite.' You watch a filme, you go to the cinema.
Another error is the preposition. Many learners say 'Vou em cinema' or 'Vou no cinema' (while 'no' is used colloquially in Brazil, 'ao' is the grammatically correct form for movement). Also, remember that 'cinema' is always masculine. Saying 'a cinema' is a common gender error for beginners. Finally, don't confuse 'cineasta' (filmmaker) with 'cinema' (the art/place).
Several words are closely related to 'cinema' and are essential for a full vocabulary. Filme is the most important—it refers to the individual movie. Telona is a fun, informal way to say 'the big screen'. Sétima Arte is the formal, poetic way to refer to cinema as an art form.
Cine is the common prefix or abbreviation. Cinematografia refers to the technical aspects. Sala de cinema specifically refers to the room inside the theater where the movie is shown. Sessão is the 'showing' or 'screening' (e.g., 'A sessão das dez'). Pipoca (popcorn) and bilheteria (box office) are part of the essential cinema-going vocabulary.
