The English term 'nightjar' exclusively denotes a type of nocturnal bird belonging to the family Caprimulgidae. Unlike its Brazilian Portuguese counterpart 'bacurau', it does not extend to meanings related to bread or personal clumsiness. These latter meanings are culturally specific to Brazil and would require descriptive phrases in English, such as 'thin bread roll' for the food item and 'clumsy' or 'awkward' for a person's demeanor.

Register note about the colloquial usage.

A type of fried dough pastry, sometimes long and thin, but culturally different.

A synonym for clumsy, referring to lack of grace or skill.

Describes someone or something that is awkward in movement or shape.

The English word 'nightjar' refers specifically to the bird. The meanings of 'bacurau' related to bread or clumsiness are unique to Brazilian Portuguese and lack direct single-word equivalents in Spanish. For the bread, descriptive terms like 'barra de pan fina' or 'pan alargado' would be used. For a clumsy person, 'torpe' or 'desmañado' are appropriate Spanish adjectives. The cultural context of the bird is primarily ornithological, while the other meanings are specific to Brazilian Portuguese usage.
