文化的背景
Portuguese speakers often use formal connectors to establish authority in professional settings. This specific phrase reflects the influence of 'Juridiquês' (legal jargon) on everyday business Portuguese. It’s a linguistic tool used to sound more objective and detached during a debate.
The Crase Trap
Avoid using `à` (with the accent) before masculine words like `argumentos`. It should be `aos` or just `a`. Using `à` here is a common hypercorrection mistake!

What It Means
Concernente a is a high-level prepositional phrase. It functions exactly like 'regarding' or 'with respect to' in English. When you add argumentos (arguments), you are specifically pointing back to the logic or points someone just made. It’s a way to keep your speech organized and professional. You aren't just talking; you are analyzing. It shows you are paying attention to the structure of the debate.
How To Use It
Think of it as a bridge. You finish one thought and want to jump to the logic behind it. You say concernente a followed by the noun. Note a tiny grammar trap: because argumentos is masculine, you should technically say concernente a argumentos (general) or concernente aos argumentos (specific). If you see à with an accent, it's usually a mistake before masculine words, but people use it when they want to sound extra fancy—even if they trip over the grammar!
When To Use It
This is your go-to for the office. Use it in a performance review. Use it when writing a formal email to a client. It’s perfect for academic essays or when you’re debating politics at a dinner party and want to sound like the smartest person at the table. It signals that you are about to drop some serious knowledge.
When NOT To Use It
Don't use this at the beach. If you tell a friend, Concernente a argumentos, a cerveja está gelada, they will think you’ve swallowed a dictionary. Avoid it in text messages unless you are being intentionally ironic or 'extra.' It’s too heavy for casual settings. Keep it out of the kitchen and the club.
Cultural Background
Portuguese culture often values formal eloquence. Being able to use complex connectors like this is seen as a sign of a good education. In Brazil and Portugal, legalistic and bureaucratic language often bleeds into professional life. This phrase is a relic of that love for structured, formal rhetoric. It makes the speaker feel authoritative.
Common Variations
You will often hear No que tange a or Relativamente a. These all live in the same 'fancy' neighborhood. If you want to sound slightly more modern but still professional, you might use Quanto aos argumentos. But if you want the full 'suit and tie' effect, concernente is the winner.
使い方のコツ
This phrase is strictly formal. Ensure you match the preposition 'a' with the gender and number of the following noun (e.g., 'aos argumentos', 'à ideia').
The Crase Trap
Avoid using `à` (with the accent) before masculine words like `argumentos`. It should be `aos` or just `a`. Using `à` here is a common hypercorrection mistake!
Sound Like a Boss
If you want to sound like a Portuguese CEO, use this phrase at the start of your sentence to command the room's attention.
The 'Fancy' Factor
Brazilians call this kind of talk 'falar difícil' (speaking difficult). It's a social flex that shows you've spent time in higher education.
