Portuguese nouns in everyday use

Everyday Portuguese nouns with their English meaning, taken from the English Wiktionary. Dictionary headwords only: no plurals, no inflected forms, and the commonest words first. The two norms are mixed and nothing labels them: European forms such as equipa and telemóvel sit beside Brazilian ones such as banheiro and terremoto. The back of a card is the short Wiktionary definition kept as written, so it can give one sense among several rather than the single commonest translation. Cards are asked in one direction only, Portuguese to English, because many of the English glosses are too general to be answered backwards.

This deck was modified when it was brought in: Extracted from Wiktionary through kaikki.org and rearranged by Memoquiz. (1) Selection: only single-word dictionary headwords of three to twenty letters are kept; every sense marked as an inflected form, an alternative spelling, an abbreviation, an archaism, slang or a familiar register is dropped, and an entry whose first sense falls to those filters is dropped whole rather than shown through a secondary sense; a headword listed under several etymologies is read once, on its first entry only. A headword that the same edition also describes as an adjective, an adverb, a pronoun, a determiner or a numeral is dropped too: it is not unambiguous noun vocabulary. (2) Definitions: only short ones made of letters, spaces, commas, apostrophes and hyphens are kept — brackets, colons and semicolons mark a definition that does not read on its own on the back of a card. The closing full stop is removed; nothing else is touched, and no definition is rewritten. (3) Circular cards removed: a definition that repeats the Portuguese headword, accents and case ignored, teaches nothing and is dropped; and so is a headword that is itself a common noun in the reader’s own language — pie in English, time in Brazilian Portuguese — because such a card is a trap rather than a question. (4) Order: the headwords retained are the most frequent in the Tatoeba corpus of the same language, counted only where a determiner precedes them so that the noun is measured and not the spelling it shares with a verb; Wiktionary itself carries no frequency. (5) Review: the cards were read one by one and those whose Wiktionary sense is not the current meaning of the word were removed by name — jogo glossed play, escada glossed ladder, língua glossed tongue, carne glossed flesh, aumento glossed augmentation, infância glossed infancy — together with bíblia, a proper noun the source left in lower case, and equipe, the Brazilian twin of equipa carrying the same English answer. Nothing was rewritten: a doubtful card is dropped, never repaired. The review is a reading of this pack against ordinary usage, not a check of every gloss against a second dictionary, so a definition kept here may still be narrower than the commonest use of the word.
