문화적 배경

This phrase reflects the growing 'data culture' in Lusophone business environments. While Portuguese culture is often seen as warm and relational, the use of precise transitions like this shows a shift toward global professional standards. It became especially popular with the rise of tech startups in Lisbon and São Paulo.

⚠️

The Crase Trap

Never use `à` (with the accent) before `dados`. `À` is only for feminine words. Since `dados` is a guy's word, use `aos`.

💡

Sound Like a Boss

If you want to sound extra smart in a meeting, pause for a second after saying `Quanto aos dados...`. It builds anticipation for your facts.

  • Always use 'aos' instead of 'à' because 'dados' is masculine.

What It Means

Quanto aos dados is a transition phrase. It helps you pivot from general talk to specific evidence. Think of it as a verbal bridge. It tells your listener: 'Okay, now let's look at the facts.' It sounds organized and professional. You are narrowing the scope of the conversation.

How To Use It

You usually place this at the start of a sentence. It acts as a header for what follows. One big rule: grammar matters here. Since dados is masculine and plural, you must use aos. Many people mistakenly use à, but that is only for feminine words. Use it when you have a report or a list of numbers ready to discuss. It keeps your speech flowing smoothly.

When To Use It

This is a star in the workplace. Use it during a PowerPoint presentation. It is perfect for emails to your boss. You can also use it when arguing with a friend about soccer stats. If you are looking at a bank statement with a partner, it fits perfectly. It signals that you are being objective.

When NOT To Use It

Avoid this in very emotional or intimate moments. Saying Quanto aos dados while your partner is crying might seem cold. It is too stiff for a late-night party with heavy slang. If you are just 'vibing,' keep this phrase in your pocket. It is for information, not for feelings or casual gossip.

Cultural Background

In Brazil and Portugal, the corporate world has become very 'data-driven.' Using this phrase shows you are part of that modern, analytical culture. It moves away from the 'jeitinho' (improvising) and toward 'evidência' (evidence). It shows you have done your homework. It commands a certain level of respect in a discussion.

Common Variations

You might hear Em relação aos dados for something slightly softer. If you want to sound very fancy, try No que tange aos dados. For a quick, casual version, just say Sobre os dados. All of these do the same job but change the 'outfit' of your sentence.

사용 참고사항

This is a neutral-to-formal expression. The biggest mistake learners make is using the feminine 'à' instead of the masculine 'aos'. Always ensure gender agreement with the noun that follows.

⚠️

The Crase Trap

Never use `à` (with the accent) before `dados`. `À` is only for feminine words. Since `dados` is a guy's word, use `aos`.

💬

The 'Data' Obsession

In Brazil, using English words like 'data-driven' is trendy, but sticking to `Quanto aos dados` shows you have a sophisticated Portuguese vocabulary.
