Alternative forms

Etymology

edit

Inherited from Old Galician-Portuguese lũa, from Latin lūna (“moon”), from Old Latin losna, from Proto-Italic *louksnā, from Proto-Indo-European *lówksneh₂, which is derived from Proto-Indo-European *lewk-.

Cognate with Galician lúa, Spanish, Italian, and Occitan luna, Catalan lluna, French lune, and Romanian lună.

Pronunciation

edit
 

Noun

edit

lua f (plural luas)

  1. moonlight, moonshine
    Synonym: luar
    Que bela vista da cidade sob a lua. ― What a beautiful view of the city under the moonlight.
  2. (astronomy) moon (any substantially sized natural satellite of a planet)
    Marte tem duas luas, Fobos e Deimos. ― Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos.
  3. moon (a lunar month)

Usage notes

edit

The capitalized spelling Lua is used when referring to the astronomical object, while lowercase lua refers to how it is perceived from Earth (including moonlight). Lowercase lua is also used equivalently to English moon (“a large natural satellite”).[1] As such, the names for the moon phases are not capitalized.

Like the expression luz do Sol, luz da Lua is written with the capitalized form.
