This expression reflects the high value placed on formal education and 'norma culta' (standard formal language) in Lusophone societies. It is a staple in academic 'monografias' and legal 'processos,' where precision is more important than brevity.
The Crase Secret
Always remember the back-tick on the `à`. It shows you know that `concernente` demands the preposition `a`. It's a small detail that marks you as an advanced speaker.
Don't Overdo It
If you use this phrase too much in one conversation, you'll sound like a robot or a very boring textbook. Mix it up with `em relação a`.

What It Means
Concernente à hipótese is a sophisticated bridge. It connects your current discussion to a specific theory or idea. Think of it as a high-level version of 'about.' It tells your listener exactly which scenario you are focusing on. It sounds precise, intellectual, and very professional.
How To Use It
You usually place this phrase at the start of a sentence. It sets the stage for the analysis that follows. You can also use it in the middle of a paragraph. This helps you transition between different possibilities. Remember the à is a contraction of a (to) and a (the). It requires that little accent to be grammatically correct. Using it correctly makes you sound like a native pro.
When To Use It
Use this in formal business meetings or academic settings. It is perfect for research papers or legal documents. If you are debating a 'what if' scenario with colleagues, use it. It adds weight to your arguments. It shows you are thinking critically about the data. It is great for emails when you need to be very clear.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this at a casual Sunday BBQ. If you use it while ordering a pizza, people will stare. It is way too stiff for a night out with friends. Avoid it in casual texts unless you are being intentionally sarcastic. It sounds like you are reading a court summons in a casual setting. Stick to sobre or falar de for daily life.
Cultural Background
Portuguese culture often values formal rhetoric in professional and academic life. Being able to use complex structures shows education and social standing. This phrase comes from the tradition of legal and scientific writing. It reflects a culture that appreciates precision in formal debate. It is common in both Brazil and Portugal in professional spheres.
Common Variations
You might hear Relativamente à hipótese which is very similar. No que tange à hipótese is another high-level alternative. If you want something slightly less formal, try Quanto à hipótese. For the most casual version, just use Sobre a hipótese. Each variation changes the 'temperature' of the conversation slightly.
사용 참고사항
This is a high-register expression. Use it when you want to establish authority or maintain a professional distance in your communication.
The Crase Secret
Always remember the back-tick on the `à`. It shows you know that `concernente` demands the preposition `a`. It's a small detail that marks you as an advanced speaker.
Don't Overdo It

The 'Doctor' Effect
In Brazil, using phrases like this might get you called 'Doutor' (Doctor) even if you aren't one, simply because you sound so educated!
