WHAT DOES QUORUM MEAN IN PORTUGUESE?

Quorum

Quórum

Quorum is the required number of assistants to a session of any deliberation or parliamentary body so that it is possible to make a valid decision. The Latin word is the plural genitive of the relative pronoun "ch" and should be translated as "of which" or "of whom." The term originated in a former British court called "Justices of the quorum," whose members acted in solidarity, so that for a ruling to be valid, at least one of them should be present. The body referred to the present member by the formula "quorum vos unum esse volemus," which meant "of which we want you to be one." It is important to note that this term should only be used in reference to voting or assembly events. It is common the misuse of the term, to refer, for example, to the amount of spectators or listeners of a presentation References ^ School Dictionary of the Portuguese Language / Academia Brasileira de Letras. 2nd edition. Sao Paulo. National Publishing Company. 2008. p. 1057.

Quorum é o número requerido de assistentes a uma sessão de qualquer corpo de deliberação ou parlamentar para que seja possível se tomar uma decisão válida. A palavra latina é o genitivo plural do pronome relativo "qui" e deve traduzir-se como "dos quais" ou "de quem". O termo originou-se num antigo tribunal britânico chamado "Justices of the quorum", cujos membros atuavam de forma solidária, de modo que para que uma decisão fosse válida, pelo menos um deles deveria estar presente. O corpo referia-se ao membro presente mediante a fórmula "quorum vos unum esse volemus", que significava "dos quais queremos que vós sejais um". É importante notar que este termo deve ser utilizado somente em referência a eventos de votação ou assembleia. É comum o uso errado do termo, para se referir, por exemplo, à quantidade de espectadores ou ouvintes de uma apresentação Referências ↑ Dicionário escolar da língua portuguesa/Academia Brasileira de Letras. 2ª edição.
