"Ela veste uma fantasia."

Translation: She wears a costume.

[zim.anael]

Fantasia(clothing)= costume fantasia(fancy)= fantasy

[Somatic]

technically it can also mean 'she wears one costume', right?

[Paulenrique]

Yes...

[Kansokusha]

As opposed to wearing two or more, yes, but that would sound weird.

[Scutigera]

Such as all the costume changes for Beyonce in a concert...

Why uma translaated as one is not correct?

[walvesestevao]

Porque não aceita fantasy?

[DanielTietz]

Porque em inglês fantasy não tem nada a ver com roupa

[chem-brasil]

In English 'fantasy' can be anything that is not based on real life. A fantasy costume. A fantasy book. A fantasy game.

[Tony292327]

Bro, we think of fantasy as "not reality" or an illusion someone imagines, not unusual clothing. For unusual clothing we could say costume (pretending clothing) regalia (special clothes for something like a ceremony) or uniform (clothing specific to a job, school, military, or an organization)

Os brasileiros celebram o Dia das Bruxas?

[Paulenrique]

Tal celebração está cada vez mais comum no Brasil.

Should fancy dress costume/fancy dress also be accepted?

[Dario990677]

I put disguise and it was wrong, why?

[dias.rr]

"Disguise" = "disfarce".

It is mainly used when the person does not want to be recognized, e.g. an undercover agent. Usually that's not the case when you're wearing a costume at a costume party, for example.

[Scutigera]

"Disfarce" is the word for "costume" in Portugal.

[dias.rr]

Thanks for adding that! How would you say "disguise" in Portugal?

[FlawyerLawyer]

I also would like to know because if I ever go there I don't want to misunderstand or cause misunderstandings.

[alfonsoparada5]

what about "she dresses a costume"?

[AlexBurgess127]

That would mean the costume is wearing something

[tina2talks]

I would agree with you but it does sound a bit strange in English.

Do Brazilians usually don't pronounce the u in uma?

[Geovane47210]

sim, pronunciamos, inclusive neste caso

[Telisa7]

It sounds like they do, but with SLIGHTLY less emphasis than in Portugal. There are some Brazilian and Portuguese pronunciations here:

[Maxx-T]

Why not "suit"? She wears a suit.

[Madquake]

I think [but really... I'm not a Brazilian genius] that costume is intended as masquerade...

[RodParker-]

'she is wearing a costume' not accepted - why? Also can't report this

[Scutigera]

She is wearing a costume =

• Ela está a vestir uma fantasia (EU PT)
• Ela está vestindo uma fantasia (BR PT)

[RodParker-]

So does 'Ela veste uma fantasia' mean that she (usually/normally) wears a costume, rather than that she is wearing one now?

[Scutigera]

She wears a costume... to the ball.
She wears a costume... at work.

What does she do for her job at Disneyland? She wears a costume.
