خلفية ثقافية
This expression is a staple of 'Juridiquês' (legal-speak) and corporate culture in both Brazil and Portugal. It reflects the importance of precision and formality in Lusophone professional environments. While it sounds very traditional, it remains a standard requirement for B2-level proficiency in business contexts.
The Crase Rule
Always remember the accent on `à`. Since `concernente` asks for 'a' and `discussão` starts with 'a', they must merge. Without it, your formal writing looks messy!
Don't Overuse It
If you use this phrase five times in one email, you'll sound like a 19th-century lawyer. Mix it up with `sobre` or `quanto a` to keep it natural.

What It Means
This phrase acts as a formal bridge between ideas. It points your listener back to a specific topic you've already talked about. Think of it as the 'as per our discussion' of the Portuguese world. It sounds polished and precise. It tells people you are organized and serious about the topic at hand.
How To Use It
You usually place this at the beginning of a sentence. It requires the preposition a. Because discussão is a feminine noun, you must use the crase: à. You follow it immediately with the point you want to make. It’s like setting the stage before you deliver your main message. It’s very common in written reports or structured speeches.
When To Use It
Use this in professional emails to your boss. It works perfectly in academic essays or university presentations. If you are in a serious meeting, this phrase is your best friend. It shows you have a high level of vocabulary. It’s great for summarizing complex points after a long debate. Use it when you want to sound authoritative.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this while ordering a beer at a bar. Your friends will think you’ve spent too much time in a law library. Avoid it in casual WhatsApp messages to your family. It feels too stiff for a romantic dinner or a quick chat. If the vibe is 'chill,' swap this for the simple word sobre instead.
Cultural Background
Portuguese speakers often value formal rhetoric in professional settings. Using 'big words' or complex connectors is a sign of education. This phrase draws from Latin roots, giving it a sense of historical weight. In Brazil, using such terms is sometimes called 'falar difícil' (speaking difficult). It’s a tool for social and professional navigation in high-stakes environments.
Common Variations
If you want to mix it up, try em relação à discussão. Another high-level version is no que tange à discussão. If you want to be slightly less formal, use quanto à discussão. For the most basic, everyday version, just use sobre a discussão. These all keep the conversation moving without sounding like a broken record.

The 'Juridiquês' Secret
