Pautes

Pautes is the plural form of pauta in Portuguese and Spanish. In these languages, pauta roughly corresponds to an agenda, outline, guideline, or policy. The noun is used across contexts to specify topics to be addressed, standards to be followed, or proposed actions.

In Brazilian Portuguese, pauta commonly refers to the items to be discussed in a meeting, assembly, or working session, and also to the items scheduled for a broadcast program or news segment (the program's pauta). The word also appears in journalism to denote the set of topics or news priorities for a given day.

In Spanish, pauta similarly means agenda or guideline and is used in business, government, education, and media to indicate topics for discussion or the standards that govern an activity. The plural pautas is used when listing multiple guidelines or agenda items, or when referring to different sets of standards.

In English-language usage, pautes is uncommon and generally not used; readers will typically encounter agenda, guidelines, standards, or policy. When translating from Portuguese or Spanish, pauta or pautas should be rendered according to context.

Notable notes: The term has no fixed English equivalent and does not refer to a single, discrete concept in English. Its precise meaning is determined by language, country, and field.
