vendido
vendido 30秒了解
- Vendido means 'sold' in a commercial sense, indicating a completed transaction.
- It must agree in gender (vendido/vendida) and number (vendidos/vendidas) with the noun.
- Figuratively, it means 'sell-out' or someone who betrays principles for money.
- In European Portuguese, 'estar vendido' can mean being exposed or vulnerable.
The Portuguese word vendido is primarily the past participle of the verb vender (to sell), but it functions extensively as an adjective. In its most literal sense, it describes an object, property, or service that has been exchanged for currency. However, its utility in the Portuguese language extends far beyond the marketplace, reaching into the realms of sports, politics, and personal relationships where it often carries a heavy emotional or moral weight.
- Literal Commercial Use
- This is the most common application. When you see a sign on a house saying 'Vendido', it means the transaction is complete. It must agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies: o carro vendido (the sold car), a casa vendida (the sold house).
- The Figurative 'Sold Out'
- Much like in English, calling a person 'vendido' implies they have compromised their values for money or personal gain. It is a common insult in political discourse or artistic circles to describe someone who has abandoned their principles.
- Vulnerability and Exposure
- In European Portuguese specifically, the expression 'estar vendido' can mean being in a precarious or vulnerable situation, often because one has been left without support or has been outmaneuvered.
Infelizmente, o último exemplar já foi vendido esta manhã.
In a retail context, you will frequently encounter the phrase 'Tudo vendido' (Everything sold/Sold out) or 'Esgotado'. While 'esgotado' specifically means 'exhausted' or 'out of stock', 'vendido' focuses on the act of the sale itself. In the world of sports, a player who is 'vendido' might be one whose contract has been transferred to another club, often against their preference or the fans' wishes.
Aquele político é um vendido; ele mudou de opinião por causa de um suborno.
Understanding the nuances of 'vendido' requires recognizing whether the speaker is discussing a commercial transaction or making a character judgment. In Brazilian Portuguese, the slang usage of 'vendido' to mean 'betrayed' is particularly potent during arguments or discussions about loyalty.
Using vendido correctly involves mastering its role as both a result of an action (passive voice) and a descriptive state. Because it is an adjective derived from a verb, it must always match the noun it refers to in gender and number. This is a fundamental rule in Portuguese grammar that English speakers often forget.
- Passive Voice Construction
- Used with the auxiliary verb 'ser' to indicate that a sale took place. Example: 'O quadro foi vendido por um milhão' (The painting was sold for a million).
- As a Direct Adjective
- Used to describe the current status of an object. Example: 'Não toque no sofá vendido' (Don't touch the sold sofa).
- Metaphorical Application
- Used as a noun to label a person. Example: 'Ele é um vendido' (He is a sell-out).
As ações foram vendidas no momento certo.
When using 'vendido' to describe a person's state of being in a difficult situation, we use the verb 'estar'. For example, 'Senti-me vendido naquela reunião' (I felt betrayed/exposed in that meeting). This suggests a temporary state or a specific instance of feeling let down.
Não podemos confiar nele; ele já se mostrou um homem vendido.
In daily life in Portugal or Brazil, you will encounter vendido in several distinct environments. From high-stakes financial news to casual playground insults, the word is versatile and ubiquitous.
- In the Real Estate Market
- Walking through Lisbon or São Paulo, you'll see signs on balconies. 'Vende-se' (For sale) eventually turns into 'Vendido' (Sold). It's the ultimate goal of any property listing.
- In Sports Media
- Football (soccer) commentators often use the term. If a goalkeeper is left 'vendido' by his defenders, it means they left him completely exposed to the attacker, making a goal almost inevitable.
- In Political Activism
- During protests, you might see signs calling a leader 'Vendido ao capital' (Sold to capital/big business). It's a sharp critique of corruption.
A defesa falhou e o guarda-redes ficou totalmente vendido.
You'll also hear it in the context of 'best-sellers'. In Portuguese, a best-selling book is often referred to as 'o livro mais vendido' (the most sold book). This is a standard way to discuss commercial success in the arts.
Este é o álbum mais vendido da década no Brasil.
Even intermediate students of Portuguese (B1 level) often stumble when using vendido. These errors usually stem from direct translation from English or forgetting the grammatical requirements of Portuguese adjectives.
- Mistake 1: Gender Neutrality
- In English, 'sold' is the same for a car or a house. In Portuguese, saying 'A casa foi vendido' is a major error. It MUST be 'A casa foi vendida'.
- Mistake 2: Confusing with 'Venda'
- 'Venda' is the noun (the sale). Students sometimes say 'O vendido foi bom' when they mean 'A venda foi boa' (The sale was good).
- Mistake 3: Misusing 'Ser' vs 'Estar'
- Use 'ser' for the fact of the sale ('O carro foi vendido'). Use 'estar' to describe the resulting state or the figurative feeling of being betrayed ('Ele está vendido').
As maçãs foram vendido.
As maçãs foram vendidas.
Another subtle mistake is using 'vendido' when you mean 'esgotado' (sold out/out of stock). While related, 'vendido' emphasizes the transaction, whereas 'esgotado' emphasizes the lack of remaining items. If you go to a store and they have no more bread, they are 'esgotados', not necessarily just 'vendidos'.
While vendido is the standard term, Portuguese offers a rich palette of alternatives depending on the context, whether you're in a business meeting or a heated argument.
- Comercializado
- A more formal, technical term meaning 'commercialized' or 'marketed'. Used in business reports. Example: 'O produto é comercializado em toda a Europa'.
- Alienado
- In legal terms, 'alienar' means to transfer ownership. An 'imóvel alienado' is one whose ownership has been transferred, often to a bank as collateral.
- Traído / Corrompido
- When using 'vendido' as an insult (sell-out), these are the synonyms. 'Traído' means betrayed, and 'corrompido' means corrupted.
O terreno foi cedido ao governo, não vendido.
In the context of tickets for an event, you might hear 'lotação esgotada' (sold out/full capacity) instead of 'bilhetes vendidos'. 'Lotação' refers to the capacity of the venue.
How Formal Is It?
趣味小知识
The Latin 'vendere' is a contraction of 'venum dare', literally 'to give for sale'.

- Pronouncing 'en' as a clear 'n' instead of a nasal vowel.
- Pronouncing the final 'o' as a strong 'oh' instead of 'u'.
- Stress on the first syllable.
- Missing the nasalization entirely.
- In Brazil, forgetting the palatalization of 'di' to 'ji'.
