GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Portuguese term or phrase:
Pessoa Física-Pessoa Jurídica-Sociedade Civil
English translation:
natural person, legal entity, civil society organization
Explanation: Our Name
In the US, Civil Society Organization would probably be the best term for who we are trying to reach here: In Italian, the term Organizzazioni della Società Civile; In Portuguese, Sociedade Civil; In Dutch, Ideeele Organisatie. However, not all places recognize "Civil Society Organization." In French, "société civile" means civil society, but it is strange to consider an organization as a part.
pessoa juridica = legal entity, which may be anything other than an individual... it may be a sole proprietorship or a corporation or many other things in between.
sociedade civil is a type of professional partnership... like a law firm, accounting firm.
I suppose it depends on the kind of firm/company start-up the document you have deals with. Sociedade Civil = partnership - if it is a normal private company. Pessoa Jurdica - as I understand it - and have one - means simply - firm/company. PT-BR
Marian, I think that Sociedade Civil is not Professional Association. From my understanding, it it a business that has more than one owner. Isn't Pessoa Juridica a company that has just one owner? I'm confused now, because I forgot the meaning of these terms in Portuguese. Thanks to all. We'll come to a conclusion, soon, I'm sure we will.
