No que concerne à argumentos

You usually place this phrase at the beginning of a sentence. It sets the stage for the rest of your statement. You can also use it in the middle of a sentence to transition between ideas. Because it is a bit long, it gives you a moment to think. It makes your speech sound more structured and academic. Just remember to follow it with a clear point or a conclusion.

This phrase shines in formal settings. Use it during a business meeting to address a colleague's points. It is perfect for university essays or legal discussions. If you are writing a formal email, this phrase adds a touch of class. It shows you have a high level of Portuguese. You can also use it in a serious debate with friends. It signals that you are taking the conversation seriously.

Avoid this phrase in very casual settings. Do not use it when ordering a beer at a bar. Using it with your best friend while playing video games might sound sarcastic. It is too heavy for a quick text message about dinner plans. If you use it while talking to a child, they will probably look confused. Keep it for moments when you want to sound authoritative or professional.

Portuguese culture places a high value on 'falar bem' (speaking well). Using complex connectors is often seen as a sign of education and status. Historically, Portuguese formal writing has always been quite elaborate. This phrase is a remnant of that love for structured, rhetorical speech. It is a tool for precision in a language that can sometimes be very poetic and vague.

You will often hear No que diz respeito a which means the same thing. Another common one is Quanto aos argumentos. Some people might use No que tange a, which is even more formal and almost exclusively used in legal contexts. If you want to be slightly less formal, you can just say Em relação aos argumentos. All of these serve the same purpose: focusing the spotlight on the topic at hand.
