- Means 'priority' or 'prioritized'.
- Indicates something is more important and needs attention first.
- Used to rank tasks and decisions.
- Agrees in gender and number with the noun.
- Meaning
- The Portuguese adjective "prioritário" translates to "priority" or "prioritized" in English. It indicates that something has a higher importance or urgency than other things and should be dealt with first. It's used to establish an order of action based on what is most critical.
- Usage
- You'll encounter "prioritário" in various contexts, from everyday conversations to professional settings. It helps in decision-making, planning, and communicating what needs immediate attention. For instance, when faced with multiple tasks, one might be designated as "prioritário" to ensure it's completed before others. It can also refer to something that is legally or officially given preference.
- Examples
- In a work environment, a manager might say, "Este relatório é prioritário e precisa ser concluído hoje." (This report is a priority and needs to be completed today.) In personal life, a doctor might advise, "O seu descanso é prioritário para a sua recuperação." (Your rest is a priority for your recovery.) It's a versatile word that helps structure our actions and decisions.
A tarefa mais importante é a prioritária desta semana.
Precisamos focar no projeto prioritário primeiro.
- Contextual Usage
- In professional settings, "prioritário" is used to manage workloads and deadlines. For example, "A segurança dos funcionários é uma questão prioritária para a empresa." (Employee safety is a priority issue for the company.) In government or policy, "O desenvolvimento sustentável é um objetivo prioritário." (Sustainable development is a priority objective.) In emergency situations, "O resgate dos sobreviventes é a ação prioritária." (The rescue of the survivors is the priority action.) The word helps to clearly define what demands the most immediate or significant attention.
- Grammar Note
- "Prioritário" is an adjective and must agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies. The masculine singular form is "prioritário." The feminine singular is "prioritária." The masculine plural is "prioritários," and the feminine plural is "prioritárias." For example, "O problema prioritário" (The priority problem), "A solução prioritária" (The priority solution), "Os planos prioritários" (The priority plans), "As tarefas prioritárias" (The priority tasks). This agreement is crucial for correct Portuguese grammar.
- Basic Sentence Structure
- The most common way to use "prioritário" is to place it after the noun it describes, agreeing in gender and number. For example: "O projeto é prioritário." (The project is a priority.) "A reunião foi prioritária." (The meeting was a priority.) You can also use it to modify a noun directly: "Temos uma tarefa prioritária." (We have a priority task.)
- Expressing Urgency
- To emphasize urgency, you can use phrases like "é prioritário" (it is a priority) or "tornou-se prioritário" (it became a priority). For instance: "A nossa saúde tornou-se prioritária após a doença." (Our health became a priority after the illness.) "Resolver este problema é prioritário para a empresa." (Solving this problem is a priority for the company.)
- Making Comparisons
- While "prioritário" itself denotes high importance, you can use it in contexts where other items are implicitly less important. For example: "Dentre todas as tarefas, esta é a prioritária." (Among all the tasks, this one is the priority.) This structure highlights the specific item as the one demanding attention first.
- In Professional Communication
- In business, "prioritário" is vital for project management and task delegation. "Os clientes VIP têm atendimento prioritário." (VIP clients have priority service.) "A resolução deste bug é um item prioritário no nosso roadmap." (Fixing this bug is a priority item on our roadmap.)
- In Everyday Life
- In daily life, it helps organize personal responsibilities. "Pagar as contas é uma despesa prioritária." (Paying bills is a priority expense.) "A educação dos filhos é uma preocupação prioritária para os pais." (Children's education is a priority concern for parents.)
A entrega prioritária chegou antes do esperado.
- Workplace Discussions
- In any professional environment, "prioritário" is a staple. Managers use it to delegate tasks, team members use it to discuss workloads, and project plans often have sections for "itens prioritários" (priority items). You'll hear it in meetings, emails, and casual conversations between colleagues about what needs to be done first.
- Healthcare Settings
- In hospitals and clinics, "prioritário" is used to describe the urgency of patient needs. "O caso dele é prioritário" (His case is a priority) might be said by a nurse or doctor. Ambulance services might have "atendimento prioritário" (priority service) for critical cases. It's crucial for triage and resource allocation.
- Government and Public Services
- Government agencies and public service providers use "prioritário" to outline their objectives and services. For example, a government announcement might state that "a educação é uma área prioritária" (education is a priority area) for investment. Public transportation might offer "acesso prioritário" (priority access) for certain groups. Official documents and policy statements frequently feature this term.
- Emergency Services
- Police, fire departments, and emergency response teams rely heavily on the concept of priority. "A segurança pública é a nossa missão prioritária" (Public safety is our priority mission). When responding to calls, dispatchers assess which situation is "mais prioritária" (most priority) based on the severity and potential for harm.
- Personal Planning and Discussions
- Even in casual conversations, people use "prioritário" to manage their lives. "Tenho que resolver este assunto prioritário antes de sair." (I have to resolve this priority matter before leaving.) Parents might discuss their children's "desenvolvimento prioritário" (priority development) or acknowledge that "a saúde da família é prioritária" (the family's health is a priority).
A segurança é um aspeto prioritário no nosso projeto.
- Gender and Number Agreement
- The most frequent mistake for learners is failing to make "prioritário" agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies. Remember: "prioritário" (masculine singular), "prioritária" (feminine singular), "prioritários" (masculine plural), "prioritárias" (feminine plural). For example, saying "o tarefa prioritário" instead of "a tarefa prioritária" is grammatically incorrect.
- Misplacing the Adjective
- While "prioritário" usually follows the noun, some learners might place it before, similar to English. However, in Portuguese, adjectives of this type generally come after. For instance, "prioritário projeto" is incorrect; it should be "projeto prioritário." Placing it before the noun can sometimes change the emphasis or make it sound unnatural.
- Confusing with Similar Words
- Learners might confuse "prioritário" with words like "importante" (important) or "urgente" (urgent). While related, "prioritário" specifically denotes something that should be done *first* due to its higher importance or urgency compared to other items. "Importante" is a general term for significance, and "urgente" emphasizes immediate need for action, but "prioritário" implies a ranking within a set of tasks or concerns.
- Overuse or Underuse
- Some learners might overuse "prioritário" for things that are merely "importante," diluting its specific meaning of being first in line. Conversely, others might underuse it, failing to clearly communicate which tasks or issues require immediate attention when the situation calls for it. It's important to use "prioritário" specifically when establishing a hierarchy of importance.
- Literal Translation Issues
- Directly translating English phrases might lead to errors. For example, translating "priority mail" might lead to "correio prioritário," which is correct, but translating "priority seating" might require a more nuanced phrase depending on the context, like "assentos com prioridade" or "acesso prioritário a assentos." Understanding the specific context in Portuguese is key.
Ele disse que a tarefa era prioritário, mas esqueceu-se do género.
- Importante (Important)
- While "prioritário" implies importance, "importante" is a more general term. Something can be "importante" without necessarily being "prioritário." For example, a birthday is "importante," but a medical emergency is "prioritário." Usage: "O seu apoio é muito importante para nós." (Your support is very important to us.) "Este documento é importante para o processo." (This document is important for the process.)
- Urgente (Urgent)
- "Urgente" emphasizes the need for immediate action. "Prioritário" suggests a ranking of importance, which often implies urgency, but not always. Something can be "prioritário" because it's a prerequisite for other tasks, even if it doesn't require immediate action. Usage: "Temos um assunto urgente para resolver." (We have an urgent matter to resolve.) "Esta chamada é urgente." (This call is urgent.)
- Essencial (Essential)
- "Essencial" means absolutely necessary or fundamental. It's a stronger term than "importante" and often overlaps with "prioritário" when something fundamental needs immediate attention. Usage: "O sono é essencial para a saúde." (Sleep is essential for health.) "O pão é um alimento essencial." (Bread is an essential food.)
- Primordial (Primary, Fundamental)
- "Primordial" refers to the first in order, time, or importance; fundamental. It's very close in meaning to "prioritário" and can often be used interchangeably, especially when referring to something that is the absolute first or most important. Usage: "A segurança é o nosso dever primordial." (Safety is our primary duty.) "O bem-estar dos cidadãos é primordial." (The well-being of citizens is paramount.)
- Principal (Main, Chief)
- "Principal" means main, chief, or most important. It can be used for the main element or focus of something. While it implies importance, it doesn't necessarily convey the idea of being handled *first* as strongly as "prioritário." Usage: "O objetivo principal do projeto é a inovação." (The main objective of the project is innovation.) "Ele é o principal responsável pela equipe." (He is the main person responsible for the team.)
A missão prioritária é salvar vidas.
How Formal Is It?

The concept of 'prior' as a religious title (like a prior of a monastery) also stems from this root, signifying the 'first' or 'head' monk. This connection highlights the core meaning of precedence and importance embedded in the word.

자주 혼동되는 단어
'Importante' means important in a general sense. 'Prioritário' specifically means more important than other things and needing attention first. Something can be important but not a priority, or a priority without being extremely important in itself (e.g., a prerequisite task).
'Urgente' emphasizes immediate need. 'Prioritário' emphasizes order of importance. Something can be urgent but not a priority (e.g., a minor issue that needs fixing now but doesn't affect major goals) or a priority that is not immediately urgent (e.g., long-term strategic planning).
'Essencial' means absolutely necessary or fundamental. It's a very strong term. While many 'prioritário' things are also 'essencial', not everything 'essencial' is necessarily the 'prioritário' item in a specific context.
혼동하기 쉬운
Both words indicate significance.
'Prioritário' implies a ranking or order of action, meaning it should be done before other things. 'Importante' simply means significant or of consequence, without necessarily implying a sequence. You can have many important things, but only a few priorities at any given time.
A reunião foi importante, mas o relatório é prioritário.
Both imply a need for attention.
'Urgente' highlights the time sensitivity – it needs to be done NOW. 'Prioritário' highlights its position in a list of tasks or goals – it comes first. Something can be urgent but not a priority (e.g., a minor issue that pops up unexpectedly) or a priority that isn't immediately urgent (e.g., a long-term strategic goal).
O incêndio era urgente e prioritário. A dor de cabeça não era urgente, mas era importante.
Very similar meaning, emphasizing first importance.
'Primordial' often refers to something fundamental or primary in nature, the very first or most basic element. 'Prioritário' is more about the order of action or attention in a given context. They are often interchangeable, but 'primordial' can sound more absolute or foundational.
A segurança é primordial. A segurança é a nossa tarefa prioritária desta semana.
Both suggest high importance.
'Essencial' means absolutely necessary, indispensable. 'Prioritário' means ranked highest in importance or urgency for action. Something essential is usually a priority, but a priority might be a step towards an essential goal rather than essential itself.
A água é essencial. Beber água é prioritário quando se tem sede.
Both relate to being the main thing.
'Principal' refers to the main element, chief part, or leader. 'Prioritário' refers to what needs to be addressed or done first. The principal reason might not be the priority action.
O problema principal é o financiamento. A nossa ação prioritária é procurar novas fontes de financiamento.

사용법
Common
-
Using 'prioritário' for anything 'importante'.
→
Use 'prioritário' only when something needs to be done *first* or has the highest rank. Use 'importante' for general significance.
Mistaking 'prioritário' for simply 'important' dilutes its specific meaning of ranking. For example, saying 'O meu aniversário é prioritário' is usually incorrect; it's 'importante'. However, if you have a medical emergency on your birthday, the emergency becomes 'prioritário'.
-
Ignoring gender and number agreement.
→
Match 'prioritário' to the noun: 'o projeto prioritário' (masc. sing.), 'a tarefa prioritária' (fem. sing.), 'os planos prioritários' (masc. pl.), 'as reuniões prioritárias' (fem. pl.).
This is a very common error for learners. Portuguese adjectives must agree with the nouns they describe. Incorrect agreement sounds unnatural and is grammatically wrong.
-
Confusing 'prioritário' with 'urgente'.
→
Use 'prioritário' for rank/order of action, and 'urgente' for immediate time sensitivity. Something can be both, but they have different core meanings.
'Prioritário' means it comes first in a list. 'Urgente' means it needs to be done NOW. A long-term strategic plan might be 'prioritário' but not 'urgente', while a small, annoying bug might be 'urgente' but not 'prioritário' if it doesn't affect core functionality.
-
Placing 'prioritário' before the noun.
→
In most cases, 'prioritário' follows the noun it modifies: 'uma tarefa prioritária'.
While some adjectives can precede nouns for emphasis, 'prioritário' typically follows the noun it describes. Placing it before can sound unnatural or change the meaning subtly.
-
Using 'o prioritário' or 'a prioritária' incorrectly as a noun.
→
Use 'o prioritário' or 'a prioritária' when referring to 'the priority matter' or 'the priority one' as a standalone concept.
While grammatically possible, using it as a noun is less frequent. Ensure you understand the context. For example, 'O prioritário é resolver o problema.' (The priority is to solve the problem.) is correct, but using it for a person without context might be odd.
팁
Gender and Number Agreement

Use in Active Voice
When you want to express your own priorities, use active voice: 'Eu priorizo a minha saúde.' (I prioritize my health.) or 'A minha tarefa prioritária é X.' (My priority task is X.)

어원
The word 'prioritário' comes from the Latin word 'prior', meaning 'former', 'first', or 'principal'. This Latin root is also the source of the English word 'priority'. The adjective form developed in Portuguese to denote something that holds a primary or first position in importance or sequence.
원래 의미: First, former, principal.
Indo-European > Italic > Latin > Romance > Portuguese문화적 맥락
The term 'prioritário' itself is neutral. However, the way it is applied can have implications. For example, in healthcare, designating a patient as 'prioritário' means they receive immediate attention, which is crucial for their survival but might mean others have to wait. This highlights the ethical considerations involved in setting priorities.
In English-speaking cultures, the concept of 'priority' is also fundamental, used in similar contexts from business to personal planning. The word 'priority' itself is a direct cognate, making the Portuguese 'prioritário' relatively easy to grasp. The emphasis on clear communication of what needs to be done first is a shared value.

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문While both words indicate significance, 'prioritário' specifically means that something has a higher rank or importance than other matters and requires attention or action before them. 'Importante' is a more general term for something being significant or consequential, without necessarily implying an order of action. For example, a birthday is 'importante', but an emergency is 'prioritário'.
Not necessarily. 'Prioritário' means it comes first in order of importance. 'Urgente' means it requires immediate action. Something can be 'prioritário' because it's a necessary step for a future goal, even if it's not immediately urgent. However, often, things that are 'prioritário' are also 'urgente'.
You need to match the adjective 'prioritário' to the gender and number of the noun it is describing. If the noun is masculine singular (like 'o projeto'), use 'prioritário'. If it's feminine singular (like 'a tarefa'), use 'prioritária'. If it's masculine plural (like 'os objetivos'), use 'prioritários'. If it's feminine plural (like 'as questões'), use 'prioritárias'.
Yes, it can, though it's less common than using it as an adjective. When used as a noun, 'o prioritário' (masculine) or 'a prioritária' (feminine) refers to 'the priority one' or 'the priority matter'. For example, 'O assunto prioritário é a segurança.' (The priority matter is safety.)
Some common phrases include 'tarefa prioritária' (priority task), 'objetivo prioritário' (priority objective), 'questão prioritária' (priority issue), 'dar prioridade a' (to give priority to), and 'tratamento prioritário' (priority treatment).
Yes, the verb is 'priorizar', which means 'to prioritize'. For example, 'Precisamos priorizar as nossas ações.' (We need to prioritize our actions.)
Yes, 'prioritário' can be used in informal contexts, although its usage might be more frequent in professional or formal settings. In informal speech, people might say 'Isso é prioritário!' to emphasize something needs immediate attention.
The plural forms depend on the gender of the noun they modify. For masculine nouns, it's 'prioritários'. For feminine nouns, it's 'prioritárias'.
'Prioritário' is the adjective form in Portuguese that directly corresponds to the English adjective 'priority' or 'prioritized'. The noun form 'prioridade' corresponds to the English noun 'priority'.
You would commonly hear 'prioritário' in discussions about work tasks, project goals, medical emergencies, public policy, and any situation where decisions need to be made about what is most important or needs to be done first.
