After revealing the most searched subjects on Google in 2024, as well as the most listened to songs on Spotify, it’s time to find out the Word of the Year.
This is an initiative organized by Porto Editora, “whose main objective is to highlight the lexical richness and creative dynamism of the Portuguese language”.
In 2024, the Word of the Year was none other than “Liberdade”, after the 50th anniversary of the April 25 Revolution.
In this sense, the readers and users of Porto Editora and Infopédia didn’t want to miss out on such an important milestone. In what was the 16th edition of the initiative, other equally strong words were in dispute, such as:
- “Conflict”
- “Immigration
- “Inclusion”
- “Fires”
- “Police
- “INEM”, among others.
In the end, after a vote that took place online between December 2 and 31, “Freedom” was voted Word of the Year 2024.
