Kultureller Hintergrund
In Lusophone academic and corporate environments, 'pesquisa' (research) is a buzzword for any deep dive or investigation. Using 'Quanto à' shows a level of linguistic precision that is highly respected in formal Brazilian and Portuguese social hierarchies.
The Crase Secret
If you can swap the feminine word for a masculine one and it becomes 'ao', you definitely need the accent 'à'. Example: 'Quanto ao estudo' -> 'Quanto à pesquisa'.
Don't Overuse It
If you use 'Quanto à' in every sentence, you'll sound like a legal contract. Mix it up with 'Sobre' or 'Em relação a'.

What It Means
Quanto à pesquisa is a sophisticated way to pivot. It signals to your listener that you are narrowing your focus. It acts like a spotlight. You were talking about a broad project, and now you are highlighting the research part specifically. It is clear, direct, and very effective for organizing your thoughts.
How To Use It
You place this phrase at the start of a sentence or a new clause. The most important thing to remember is the à. This little accent is called a 'crase.' It happens because the word quanto requires the preposition a, and pesquisa is a feminine word that needs the article a. When they meet, they merge into à. If you were talking about a masculine word like projeto, it would become Quanto ao projeto. Easy, right?
When To Use It
This is your best friend in professional settings. Use it in emails to your boss when you want to look organized. Use it in university presentations to transition between slides. It also works in serious discussions with friends, like when you are debating a news article or a scientific discovery. It makes you sound like you have your life together.
When NOT To Use It
Avoid this if you are just hanging out and talking about something very casual. If you are telling a funny story about your dog, saying Quanto à pesquisa... will make you sound like a robot. It is a bit too 'heavy' for lighthearted gossip or quick text messages about dinner plans. Unless, of course, you are researching the best burger in town and want to be ironic!
Cultural Background
Portuguese speakers, especially in Brazil and Portugal, value clear markers in discourse. Using phrases like this shows that you are an educated speaker who respects the structure of the conversation. It is a sign of 'B2' level fluency because it moves beyond simple sentences into complex transitions. In academic culture, being precise with these markers is essential for being taken seriously.
Common Variations
Em relação à pesquisa(In relation to the research)No que diz respeito à pesquisa(Regarding/With respect to the research)Sobre a pesquisa(About the research - simpler and more common)Quanto aos dados(As for the data - plural version)Quanto a isso(As for that - very common in debates)
Nutzungshinweise
The phrase is highly versatile but requires attention to gender agreement (ao vs. à). It is the hallmark of a B2 learner moving into professional fluency.
The Crase Secret
If you can swap the feminine word for a masculine one and it becomes 'ao', you definitely need the accent 'à'. Example: 'Quanto ao estudo' -> 'Quanto à pesquisa'.
Don't Overuse It
If you use 'Quanto à' in every sentence, you'll sound like a legal contract. Mix it up with 'Sobre' or 'Em relação a'.
The 'Vibe' of Precision
Using this phrase in a job interview in Brazil shows you have 'boa fluência' (good fluency) and pay attention to detail.
