The 'Crase' is Key
Always use the backtick on the 'à'. It's a combination of the preposition 'a' and the feminine article 'a'. Skipping it is a common mistake for native speakers too!

What It Means
Think of No que concerne à fundamentação as the high-society version of saying 'Here is why.' The word fundamentação refers to the 'foundation' or the 'reasoning' of an argument. When you use this phrase, you are signaling to your listener that you are about to dive into the serious logic or the legal principles that support a claim. It is less about the 'what' and entirely about the 'why.' It tells people you aren't just guessing; you have a structured set of reasons behind your words.
How To Use It
You will usually find this phrase at the beginning of a sentence or a new paragraph. It acts as a formal bridge. If you’ve just stated a conclusion—like 'We should cancel the contract'—you follow up with No que concerne à fundamentação... to explain the breach of terms. Remember to keep the à with the backtick (the crase), because concerne requires the preposition a, and fundamentação is a feminine noun. It’s like wearing a tuxedo; if you’re going to use it, you have to wear it correctly or it looks a bit silly.
When To Use It
This is your go-to phrase for 'serious mode.' Use it in legal documents, academic theses, or high-level corporate reports. If you are defending your master's degree, this phrase will make the professors nod in approval. In a formal email to a client explaining a price hike, it adds a layer of professional authority. It’s also very common in news reporting when journalists discuss court rulings or government decisions. It says, 'I am a professional who values logic.'
When NOT To Use It
Please, for the love of all things casual, do not use this at a Sunday barbecue. If your friend asks why you didn't bring the beer and you respond with No que concerne à fundamentação do meu esquecimento..., they will probably stop inviting you to parties. It is way too stiff for friends, family, or even casual office banter. Avoid it in text messages unless you are being intentionally ironic or sarcastic. It’s a heavy tool; don't use a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Cultural Background
Portuguese and Brazilian cultures have a deep-seated respect for formal bureaucracy and legalism, a legacy of Roman law. This is reflected in the language. Using complex, Latin-rooted expressions like this shows that you are educated and 'know the rules.' In Brazil, specifically, there is a concept called 'Juridiquês'—the overly complex language used by lawyers. This phrase is a prime example of that world leaking into professional life. It’s about prestige and clarity through structure.
Common Variations
If you want to mix it up without losing the formality, you can try No que tange à fundamentação (In what touches upon the foundation) or Quanto à fundamentação (As for the foundation). If you want to be slightly less formal but still professional, Relativamente aos motivos (Relating to the reasons) works well. In very casual settings, just stick to Sobre os motivos or simply Por que. But if you want to sound like a Supreme Court justice, stick to the original!
इस्तेमाल की जानकारी
This is a high-register locution. Use it exclusively in written formal documents or very formal oral presentations (like a court hearing or a thesis defense).

The 'Juridiquês' Secret
In Brazil, using phrases like this can sometimes be a power move to show authority. If someone uses it with you, they are likely trying to sound very serious or intimidating.

Yes, it is common in the formal registers of both countries, especially in legal and academic circles.
It comes from the verb concernir, which means 'to concern' or 'to relate to.' It's a very formal verb.

Yes, because fundamentação is always a feminine noun in Portuguese.
Technically yes, but it would sound hilarious. No que concerne à fundamentação do meu amor... sounds like a lawyer falling in love.
