implorar 30秒了解
- Implorar means to beg or plead intensely.
- Use it for urgent, desperate requests.
- Similar to 'implore' in English.
- Often followed by 'por' or 'para'.
- Definition
- To beg someone earnestly or desperately to do something; to implore.
- Etymology
- From Latin 'implorare', meaning 'to cry for, entreat'. It's a direct borrowing that retains its strong sense of urgent plea.
When you are in a desperate situation and need help, you might implorar for assistance.
Children often implorar their parents for permission to do something they really want.
In literature or dramatic situations, characters might implorar for mercy or forgiveness.
The word carries a strong emotional weight, suggesting a plea made with deep feeling and urgency. It’s not a casual request; it implies a significant need or desire.
- Usage Contexts
- You might hear 'implorar' in contexts of distress, urgent need, or strong emotional appeals. It's common in stories, dramas, and situations where someone is trying to persuade another person with intense emotion. For example, a character in a play might implorar for their life. In everyday life, while less common for trivial matters, it can be used to describe a very serious plea, perhaps when asking for a second chance or for someone to reconsider a harsh decision.
- Verb Conjugation
- 'Implorar' is a regular -ar verb. Here's how it conjugates in the present tense:
- Present Tense
- Eu imploro (I implore/beg)
Tu imploras (You implore/beg - informal)
Ele/Ela/Você implora (He/She/You implore/beg - formal)
Nós imploramos (We implore/beg)
Vós implorais (You all implore/beg - less common)
Eles/Elas/Vocês imploram (They/You all implore/beg)

- Sentence Structures
- The verb 'implorar' is typically followed by 'por' (for) or 'para' (for/to) to indicate what is being begged for, or by a direct object pronoun or noun representing the person being begged. It can also be followed by an infinitive verb to express what someone is begging to do.
Eu imploro pela sua vida.
Eles imploraram para que o deixassem ir.
A mãe implorou ao filho para se comportar.
- Literature and Drama
- 'Implorar' is frequently found in novels, plays, and poetry, especially when describing moments of high emotional tension, desperation, or pleas for mercy. Think of characters in tragic plays begging for their lives or for a loved one's safety. For instance, a character might implorar forgiveness from someone they've wronged.
In the classic novel, the protagonist had to implorar for a chance to prove his innocence.
- News and Current Events
- You might encounter 'implorar' in news reports describing humanitarian crises, natural disasters, or political appeals. Leaders might implorar for international aid, or victims might implorar for help from authorities.
The refugees imploraram for safe passage to a neighboring country.
- Personal Appeals
- While less common in casual conversation, 'implorar' can be used to describe a very serious personal plea. For example, if someone is in a dire situation and needs a significant favor, they might say they had to implorar for it. This emphasizes the gravity of their request.
She had to implorar for a second chance at the job.
- Religious Contexts
- In religious contexts, 'implorar' can describe fervent prayer or supplication to a deity. People might implorar for divine intervention or guidance during difficult times.
The faithful imploravam por paz e cura.
- Overuse in Casual Settings
- Mistake: Using 'implorar' for everyday, minor requests. For example, saying 'Eu imploro por um café' (I beg for a coffee) would sound overly dramatic and unnatural in most situations.
Correct Usage: Reserve 'implorar' for situations of genuine desperation, urgency, or deep emotional plea. For a simple request for coffee, use 'Quero um café' (I want a coffee) or 'Gostaria de um café' (I would like a coffee).
Incorrect: Eu imploro que você me empreste o lápis.
- Incorrect Preposition Usage
- Mistake: Forgetting or misusing prepositions like 'por' or 'para' after 'implorar'. While sometimes the direct object is implied, specifying what is being begged for is common and often necessary. For example, saying 'Eu imploro ajuda' without a preposition might sound slightly abrupt compared to 'Eu imploro por ajuda'.
Correct Usage: Use 'implorar por' or 'implorar para' to clearly state the object of the plea. 'Eu imploro por sua ajuda' (I beg for your help) or 'Eu imploro para que ele me escute' (I beg that he listens to me).
Incorrect: Ele implorou sua atenção.
- Confusing with Less Intense Verbs
- Mistake: Using 'implorar' when a softer verb like 'pedir' (to ask for) or 'solicitar' (to request) would be more appropriate. This can make the speaker sound overly demanding or desperate when they don't intend to.
Correct Usage: Choose the verb that best matches the intensity of the request. Use 'pedir' for general requests, 'solicitar' for more formal requests, and 'implorar' only when the plea is earnest and desperate.
Incorrect: Eu imploro um copo d'água.
- Incorrect Verb Tense
- Mistake: Using the wrong tense to describe a past or future plea. This is common for learners of any language.
Correct Usage: Ensure the verb tense accurately reflects when the begging occurred or will occur. For past events, use the preterite (implorou) or imperfect (implorava). For future events, use the future tense (implorarei) or the present tense with future meaning. For example, 'Ontem, eu implorei por clemência' (Yesterday, I begged for clemency) is correct.
- Pedir (To ask for)
- 'Pedir' is the most common and general verb for 'to ask for'. It can range from a simple request to a more earnest plea, but it lacks the intensity of 'implorar'.
Example: Eu pedi um favor. (I asked for a favor.) vs. Eu implorei por um favor. (I begged for a favor.)
- Suplicar (To supplicate, to plead)
- 'Suplicar' is very close in meaning to 'implorar'. It also denotes a strong, earnest plea, often in a formal or religious context. It carries a similar weight of desperation.
Example: Ele suplicou por misericórdia. (He pleaded for mercy.) This is almost interchangeable with 'implorar' in such contexts.
- Rogar (To beseech, to implore)
- 'Rogar' is another strong synonym for 'implorar', often used in more formal or literary contexts. It implies a heartfelt and urgent entreaty.
Example: Rogo-te que me escutes. (I beseech you to listen to me.)
- Implorar vs. Pedir
- 'Pedir' is for any request, big or small. 'Implorar' is for a desperate, urgent plea. Imagine asking for a pen ('pedir um caneta') versus asking for your life to be spared ('implorar pela sua vida').
- Implorar vs. Suplicar
- These two are very close. 'Suplicar' might sometimes lean more towards a formal or religious plea, while 'implorar' can be used in a broader range of desperate situations, including very personal ones. However, they are often interchangeable.

Understand the nuances in Portuguese.
While 'implore' is a direct English cognate, its usage might have slight cultural or contextual differences. Learners should focus on how native speakers use 'implorar' in Portuguese, rather than relying solely on English equivalents.
小贴士
Understand the Intensity
The key to using 'implorar' correctly is to grasp its intensity. It's not just asking; it's begging, pleading, often out of desperation. Think of situations where someone is in dire need or facing a grave consequence.
Master the Prepositions
Pay attention to the prepositions that typically follow 'implorar'. 'Implorar por' is used for the object of the plea (e.g., 'implorar por ajuda'), while 'implorar para que' introduces a clause (e.g., 'implorar para que ele volte').
Practice the 'R' Sound
The tapped 'r' in 'implorar' is characteristic of Portuguese. Practice this sound to make your pronunciation more natural. It's a quick flick of the tongue against the roof of your mouth, softer than the English 'r'.
Synonym Awareness
While 'implorar' is strong, words like 'suplicar' and 'rogar' are close synonyms. Knowing these variations can enrich your vocabulary and allow you to choose the most fitting word for the context, especially in more formal or literary settings.
Avoid Overuse
Because 'implorar' is so strong, overuse in casual conversation can make you sound overly dramatic or insincere. Reserve it for situations that truly warrant such an intense plea.
Connect to English 'Implore'
The English word 'implore' is a cognate and shares the same Latin root. This similarity can be a powerful mnemonic. Visualize someone pouring tears ('plorare') as they implore.
Consider the Emotional Tone
Portuguese culture often embraces emotional expression. While 'implorar' is intense, understanding its place within this cultural context can help you appreciate its usage in literature, drama, and heartfelt appeals.
Subjunctive is Key
When using 'implorar para que' or 'implorar que', remember that the following verb must be in the subjunctive mood. This is a crucial grammatical point for accurate sentence construction.
Create Your Own Scenarios
Invent different scenarios where someone might implore for something. Write sentences for each, focusing on conveying the right level of desperation and emotion. This active practice solidifies understanding.
Implorar vs. Pedir
Always compare 'implorar' with 'pedir'. 'Pedir' is a general request, while 'implorar' is a desperate plea. Recognizing this distinction is fundamental to using 'implorar' correctly.
记住它
记忆技巧
Imagine someone crying (plorare) and desperately asking (in-) for something they need. The sound 'im-plor-ar' sounds like 'in a pool of tears, I beg'. Picture someone crying in a pool and begging for help.
视觉联想
Visualize a person on their knees, hands clasped, tears streaming down their face, looking up with an expression of utter desperation. The scene is one of intense begging.
Word Web
挑战
Try to use 'implorar' in three different sentences describing situations where someone is asking for something very important or in a desperate state. For example, 'The lost child implored for his mother,' 'The prisoner implored for freedom,' and 'The scientist implored for funding.'
词源
The word 'implorar' comes directly from the Latin verb 'implorare'. This Latin verb is formed by the prefix 'in-' (meaning 'in' or 'on') and 'plorare' (meaning 'to cry out', 'to weep', or 'to lament'). Therefore, the original meaning is 'to cry out for' or 'to weep for'.
原始含义： To cry out for, to weep for, to lament.
Indo-European > Italic > Latin > Romance > Portuguese文化背景
The word 'implorar' should be used with care, as it implies a significant level of desperation. Using it for trivial matters can sound overly dramatic or insincere. It's best reserved for situations where a genuine, earnest plea is warranted.
The English equivalent 'implore' carries a similar weight and is used in contexts of earnest, desperate pleading. Both words stem from the same Latin root, emphasizing their shared historical and semantic background.

常见问题
10 个问题'Implorar' itself is not strictly formal or informal, but its usage tends to be in more serious or emotionally charged situations, which can make it sound more formal than a casual request. However, it can be used in informal contexts to exaggerate a plea for humorous effect. The context dictates the perceived formality.
The main difference lies in intensity. 'Pedir' is a general verb for 'to ask for' and can be used for any request, from simple to serious. 'Implorar' signifies a desperate, earnest, or fervent plea, often made out of necessity or deep emotional need. Think of 'pedir' as asking and 'implorar' as begging.
It's generally not recommended to use 'implorar' for everyday, trivial requests because it carries a strong sense of desperation. Saying 'Eu imploro por um café' would sound overly dramatic. For coffee, you would simply 'pedir' or 'querer'.
The most common prepositions are 'por' (for) and 'para' (for/to). You 'implorar por' something (e.g., 'implorar por ajuda') or 'implorar para que' something happens (e.g., 'implorar para que ele ficasse').
'Implorar' is a regular -ar verb. In the present tense, it conjugates as: eu imploro, tu imploras, ele/ela/você implora, nós imploramos, vós implorais, eles/elas/vocês imploram. Past tenses and other conjugations follow the regular pattern for -ar verbs.
Yes, the most direct English equivalent is 'to implore'. Other similar words include 'to beg', 'to plead', and 'to beseech'. These words all convey a sense of earnest and often desperate asking.
In literature, 'implorar' is used to highlight moments of intense emotion, desperation, or moral struggle. Characters might 'implorar' for mercy, forgiveness, a second chance, or to avert a disaster, adding dramatic weight to the narrative.
Yes, absolutely. You can 'implorar por paz' (implore for peace), 'implorar por justiça' (implore for justice), or 'implorar por compreensão' (implore for understanding). This shows a deep desire for these abstract states.
The idiom 'implorar de joelhos' (to implore on one's knees) emphasizes extreme humility, desperation, and submission in the plea. It's a very strong visual representation of begging.
In religious contexts, 'implorar' is often used to describe fervent prayer or supplication. People might 'implorar' for divine intervention, guidance, or healing, indicating a deep faith and urgent need for spiritual help.

Summary
Implorar is a verb used to express a desperate, earnest plea or entreaty. It signifies a request made with significant emotional intensity, often in situations of distress or urgent need, and is much stronger than a simple request.
- Implorar means to beg or plead intensely.
- Use it for urgent, desperate requests.
- Similar to 'implore' in English.
- Often followed by 'por' or 'para'.
Understand the Intensity
The key to using 'implorar' correctly is to grasp its intensity. It's not just asking; it's begging, pleading, often out of desperation. Think of situations where someone is in dire need or facing a grave consequence.
Master the Prepositions
Pay attention to the prepositions that typically follow 'implorar'. 'Implorar por' is used for the object of the plea (e.g., 'implorar por ajuda'), while 'implorar para que' introduces a clause (e.g., 'implorar para que ele volte').
Practice the 'R' Sound
The tapped 'r' in 'implorar' is characteristic of Portuguese. Practice this sound to make your pronunciation more natural. It's a quick flick of the tongue against the roof of your mouth, softer than the English 'r'.
Synonym Awareness
While 'implorar' is strong, words like 'suplicar' and 'rogar' are close synonyms. Knowing these variations can enrich your vocabulary and allow you to choose the most fitting word for the context, especially in more formal or literary settings.
