Significados de Parent em português

A palavra "parent" em inglês é utilizada para se referir a um dos progenitores de uma criança, ou seja, mãe ou pai. O termo é amplamente utilizado em contextos formais e informais, abrangendo situações do dia a dia, como conversas familiares, discussões escolares, e contextos legais.

Exemplos de uso:

Contexto Familiar: "My parent is coming to the school meeting." (Meu pai/mãe está vindo à reunião da escola.)
Contexto Escolar: "Parents should attend the parent-teacher conference." (Os pais devem comparecer à conferência entre pais e professores.)
Contexto Legal: "The court granted custody to the other parent." (O tribunal concedeu a custódia ao outro progenitor.)

Expressões comuns incluem:

"Single parent" (pai/mãe solteiro(a)): Refere-se a um progenitor que cria uma criança sem a presença do outro progenitor.

O uso da palavra "parent" é geralmente neutro e pode ser encontrado em contextos formais, como documentos legais, bem como em conversas informais.

Erros comuns incluem a confusão entre "parent" e "parents," onde "parents" é o plural e se refere a ambos os progenitores. Outro erro é o uso incorreto do termo em contextos que não envolvem a figura parental, como referir-se a um tutor ou responsável legal.

Palavras relacionadas incluem:

Sinônimos: "guardian" (tutor), "caregiver" (cuidador).
Antônimos: Não existem antônimos diretos, mas pode-se pensar em "child" (criança) como um conceito oposto em termos de relação.

A pronúncia de "parent" é /ˈpɛərənt/ em inglês americano, com a primeira sílaba acentuada. É importante notar que a pronúncia pode variar ligeiramente em diferentes dialetos do inglês.

Em termos de gramática, "parent" é um substantivo contável. Em relação à etimologia, a palavra "parent" deriva do latim "parens," que significa "aquele que gera."
