Estimated in Portuguese 🇧🇷

estimado info.

Tips to remember the word:
• Notice the similarity to the English “estimated” and the verb “estimar,” which means “to estimate” or “to esteem.” This connection helps recall that “estimado” is related to valuing or assessing something.
• Think of “esteem” in English—if you esteem someone, you value them—which is very close in meaning to the Portuguese “estimado.”

Explanations:
• “Estimado” is the past participle of “estimar” and can mean both “estimated” (as in an approximation) and “esteemed” or “dear,” particularly in formal correspondence.
• When referring to a numerical approximation, it functions like “estimated.” When used as a form of address (e.g., “Estimado senhor”), it conveys respect or affection.

Other words with a similar meaning:
• Preciado
• Apreciado
• Valorizado

Alternate meanings/slang:
• In formal letters, “estimado” is often used as a salutation similar to “dear.” While not exactly slang, this alternative use is common in written communication.
• No widespread slang meanings exist beyond its use in respectful, formal communication or when expressing personal regard.

Examples of sentences:
• "O custo estimado do evento é de 5 mil reais."
 Translation: "The estimated cost of the event is 5,000 reais."
• "Estimado cliente, agradecemos sua preferência."
