perfeita

Perfeita is the feminine form of the Portuguese adjective perfeito, meaning “perfect.” It is used to describe feminine nouns and must agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies. For example: uma ideia perfeita, uma solução perfeita, uma execução perfeita. The masculine form is perfeito, and the plural feminine is perfeitas.

Grammatically, perfeita functions as an attributive or predicate adjective. It can describe objects, actions, states, or qualities deemed flawless or fully satisfactory. The degree can be intensified with adverbs such as extremamente perfeita or quase perfeita in informal speech, though the core meaning remains “completa” or “impecável.”

Etymology and meaning: perfeita derives from Latin perfectus, meaning completed or finished, reflecting the sense of something that has achieved its intended completeness. In Portuguese, the term carries both moral and aesthetic connotations, ranging from technical precision to beauty or adequacy.

Usage notes: perfeita appears in everyday language to express high quality, and can be used in idiomatic expressions like “à perfeição,” meaning to perfection, or in phrases such as “perfeita para o papel,” indicating someone or something is well suited for a role.

As a proper name, perfeita is primarily an adjective in use and is uncommon as a formal given name or surname, but it may appear in literary or fictional contexts as a character name or descriptive title.
