Is there the word "canon" in english? What does this word mean in Portuguese, please?

Answer 1

It means the same thing in Portuguese as it does in English, most used to mean a rule or especially body of rules or principles generally established as valid and fundamental in a field or art or philosophy; "the neoclassical canon"; "canons of polite society"

Best wishes,

C.s.

Answer 2

There is a word "canon" in English and it has a number of meanings. These include a rule or law of the church; rules and laws in other areas; a general rule or formula in mathematics; the list of books that make up the Bible; a portion of the Mass; a musical composition; a payment or pension on a religious account; a chief epoch or era; a list of canonised saints; a size of type; a clergyman; a deep gorge or ravine (canyon); and even a cannon.

I don't know what it means in Portuguese.

As for the Portuguese translation, it would probably depend on which usage you were after and I don't have access to a good dictionary here. The net suggests:

Portuguese
A norma: de norma
N cânone, cónego, concílio, critério, norma, catálogo

Ref: http://online.ectaco.co.uk/main.jsp%3bjsessionid=bc3018baca892f1d7518?do=e-services-dictionaries-word_translate1&direction=1&status=translate&lang1=23&lang2=pt&source=canon

Your guess is as good as mine as to which (if any) is the one you are looking for!

Without a context it's impossible to translate a word accurately.

Answer 5

Yes, "canon" is a music term for "chase or Round" It means you start platying or singing and poeple play after playing the same thing then the next person starts and it keeps going until the last person who started singing or playing finishes by themselves. No idea what it means in portugese but it means chase in music terms.

Answer 6

Canon in Portuguese is cônego (clergyman) or cânone (standard).
Cannon is canhão.
There is no word 'canon' in Portuguese, the nearest is cano (pipe) or canoa (canoe).

Answer 7

"Canon" is regulation, dogma, law, rule, principle, standard, norm... all of these.

The word in Portuguese is "cânon" and it has the same meaning as English.

It derives from the Greek " kanon"
