Concernente à conclusão

You use this phrase to introduce a specific detail about an ending. It usually appears at the start of a sentence. Or, it can follow a comma to add detail. You must remember the 'crase' (the à with the accent). This happens because concernente requires the preposition a. Since conclusão is a feminine noun, they merge into à. If you forget the accent, it looks like a typo to natives. Try to keep the rest of your sentence equally formal. It sounds strange to mix this with heavy slang.

This is your go-to phrase for the office. Use it in business emails to sound authoritative. It is perfect for academic essays or university presentations. If you are in a legal or medical setting, use it often. It works well when summarizing a long meeting. It shows you have a strong command of Portuguese grammar. Use it when you want to sound like a professional 'doutor' or 'doutora'.

Do not use this at a casual Friday happy hour. If you say this to a friend over beer, they might laugh. It sounds like you are reading from a dusty law book. Avoid it in quick text messages to family members. It is too 'heavy' for a relaxed environment. Don't use it if you aren't sure about the 'crase'. A simpler sobre o fim is safer in casual chats. It is definitely not for flirting or small talk at the beach!

Portuguese culture often places a high value on formal eloquence. In Brazil and Portugal, the way you speak can signal your education level. Using 'expensive' words like concernente is a common social strategy. It stems from a long tradition of legal and academic writing. Even in modern offices, people love to sound official. It is part of the 'Doutor Culture' where titles and formal speech matter. It makes the speaker seem more credible and serious.

You will often hear relativamente à conclusão in Portugal. In Brazil, no que tange à conclusão is a very popular (and very formal) alternative. If you want something slightly less stiff, try quanto à conclusão. For a very neutral vibe, use em relação à conclusão. All of these serve the same purpose of pointing to the end. No que diz respeito à conclusão is another long but common version. Choose the one that feels most natural for your specific audience.
