文化的背景

This expression stems from the Latin influence on Portuguese legal and academic language. It reflects a cultural emphasis on structured debate and 'falar bem' (speaking well), which is highly respected in Lusophone societies. It became a staple in formal writing during the 19th century and remains a marker of high-level literacy today.

💡

The 'Crase' Secret

Always check if the word following 'concernente' is feminine. If it's 'o raciocínio' (masculine), it becomes 'concernente ao raciocínio'. Use 'à' only for feminine words like 'argumentação'.

⚠️

Don't Overdo It

Using this phrase too much in one paragraph makes your writing feel 'pesada' (heavy). Mix it up with 'sobre' or 'quanto a' to keep the flow natural.

What It Means

Concernente à argumentação is a formal bridge. It connects a topic to the specific logic or reasoning behind it. Think of it as a pointer. It tells your listener exactly which part of the conversation you are addressing. It is not just about a topic. It is about the *logic* used to support that topic.

How To Use It

You usually place this at the start of a sentence. It sets the stage for your response. You can also use it after a comma to narrow your focus. Remember the à with the accent (crase). It is a fusion of the preposition a and the article a. Using it correctly makes you look like a grammar pro. It is like wearing a sharp suit for your words.

When To Use It

Use this in professional meetings or academic writing. It is perfect for legal contexts or serious debates. If you are writing a formal email to a professor, this is your best friend. It shows you are paying attention to their logic. You can also use it when you want to sound slightly dramatic during a friendly debate about movies.

When NOT To Use It

Do not use this at a loud bar with friends. It will sound very stiff and robotic. Avoid it when ordering food or asking for directions. If you tell a waiter, Concernente à argumentação do menu..., they might think you are a lost lawyer. Keep it away from casual WhatsApp groups unless you are being intentionally funny. It is too heavy for everyday small talk.

Cultural Background

Portuguese culture values formal education and eloquent speech. Using precise connectors like this is a sign of 'bom tom' (good tone). It reflects a tradition of rhetorical excellence in law and literature. In Brazil and Portugal, being able to navigate formal registers is a key social skill. It shows you respect the intellectual level of the conversation.

Common Variations

You might hear Em relação à argumentação or Quanto à argumentação. These are slightly more common in daily life. No que tange à argumentação is even more formal. It is the kind of thing you only hear in courtrooms or high-level politics. Stick to Concernente when you want that perfect balance of elegance and clarity.

使い方のコツ

This is a high-register expression. Use it when you want to be precise, professional, and slightly detached. Always ensure your 'crase' is correct to maintain the formal image.

💡

The 'Crase' Secret

Always check if the word following 'concernente' is feminine. If it's 'o raciocínio' (masculine), it becomes 'concernente ao raciocínio'. Use 'à' only for feminine words like 'argumentação'.

💬

The 'Doctor' Effect

In Brazil, people often use formal language like this to sound more authoritative. It's part of the 'doutor' culture where looking and sounding professional grants you immediate social capital.

It means 'concerning' or 'relating to.' It comes from the verb concernir, which is rarely used on its own in modern conversation.

Only if you are being sarcastic or funny. Otherwise, it sounds like you are sending a legal notice to your friends.

That is the crase. It is the combination of the preposition a (required by concernente) and the feminine article a (for argumentação).

Mostly, yes. But argumentação refers more to the *process* or the *set of arguments* used to prove a point, rather than just a single statement.

You can just say Sobre os argumentos or Em relação aos argumentos. These are much more common in everyday speech.

Yes, it is used in both countries. It is a standard part of formal Portuguese across the Lusophone world.

It is very rare. It almost always introduces a topic, so it sits at the beginning or middle of a sentence: Falei com ele concernente à argumentação.

No! You can say concernente ao contrato (concerning the contract) or concernente à proposta (concerning the proposal).

If the next word is feminine and singular like argumentação, use à. If it is plural, use às. If it is masculine, use ao.

Forgetting the crase (the accent) is the most common written mistake. In speech, using it in a casual setting is the biggest social 'error'.
