Aldeia: where the indians live (forest)
Vila: small area with few houses close to each other, same street.
Village = vilarejo in portuguese = small community, normally in countryside.
We normally don't use much the word vilarejo (village) We use "cidade" (city) and "bairro" (neighbourhood).
Vilarejo is not really used in speaking language but you can hear in songs or read in books.
There is a beautiful song called "vilarejo" by Marisa Monte. Have a look.
If you need help don't exitate to see my teacher profile.
Beijos,
Viviane

A aldeia is a village, a vila is also a village but can also mean a largish house commonly called a villa.

Hi Anya!
Actually VILA is a little bigger than ALDEIA
ALDEIA is more used for indians populations for example
VILA instead could be used for a little city in the farms or a few concentration of houses in a little urban city
