Kultureller Hintergrund
The word 'categorização' reflects the Latin influence on Portuguese, emphasizing systemic organization. In Lusophone corporate culture, using such precise terminology is a sign of 'repertório' (vocabulary range), which is highly valued in leadership. It became more prevalent with the rise of data science and digital organization in the early 2000s.
The Crase Secret
Always check if the word after 'Em relação a' is feminine. If it is (like categorização), you must use the accent: `à`. It makes you look like a grammar pro.
Don't Overuse It
If you use this phrase five times in one email, you'll sound like a robot. Mix it up with `Sobre` or `Quanto a` to keep your writing fluid.

What It Means
Em relação à categorização is a sophisticated way to pivot a conversation toward the structure of things. It focuses on the 'how' and 'why' of grouping items together. Think of it as a spotlight for your organizational logic. You aren't just talking about the items themselves. You are talking about the boxes you’ve put them in. It sounds professional, organized, and very clear. It’s the linguistic equivalent of wearing a crisp, ironed shirt to a meeting.
How To Use It
You usually place this phrase at the start of a sentence. It sets the stage for the specific detail you are about to share. Use it when you want to explain a system or a choice of labels. For example, if you are sorting files, you might start with this phrase to explain why some are 'urgent' and others are 'pending.' It requires the feminine article a with a grave accent (à) because relação requires the preposition a. It’s a bit of a grammar trap, so watch out!
When To Use It
This phrase shines in professional environments. Use it during a PowerPoint presentation to explain your data. It’s great for academic writing or when discussing complex systems like biology or library science. You can also use it when organizing something at home with a very detail-oriented friend. It shows you have a plan and you’ve thought about the hierarchy of information. It’s very common in business emails when discussing project structures.
When NOT To Use It
Avoid this phrase in super casual settings unless you are being intentionally funny. If you’re at a bar and say, Em relação à categorização das batatas fritas, your friends might think you’ve spent too much time at the office. Don't use it for simple, singular choices. If there is only one category, there is no 'categorização' to speak of. It’s too heavy for a quick text about what to buy at the grocery store. Keep it for when things actually need sorting.
Cultural Background
Portuguese speakers, especially in Brazil and Portugal, value a certain level of formal 'padding' in professional speech. Using precise terms like categorização instead of just tipos (types) shows education and authority. It reflects a cultural respect for bureaucracy and logical systems. In a culture that can be very warm and informal, using this phrase signals: 'Okay, now I am being serious and professional.' It’s a verbal suit and tie.
Common Variations
You will often hear Quanto à categorização which means almost the same thing but feels slightly lighter. Another common one is No que diz respeito à categorização, which is even more formal and wordy. If you want to be more direct, you might just say Sobre a categorização. However, Em relação à remains the gold standard for sounding balanced—not too stiff, but definitely not lazy.
Nutzungshinweise
This phrase is firmly in the formal/neutral territory. The most important thing to remember is the 'crase' (à) in writing; omitting it is a very common mistake for learners and even native speakers in casual emails.

The 'Doutor' Vibe
In Portugal, using precise phrases like this might get you called 'Doutor' (Doctor) as a sign of respect for your articulate speech, even if you don't have a PhD!
