문화적 배경
This expression is a classic example of 'Juridiquês' (legal jargon) that migrated into high-level academic and administrative Portuguese. It reflects the Portuguese love for 'empolamento'—using grand structures to give a sense of institutional weight and historical continuity.
The 'Crase' Trap
Remember that if the aspect is feminine (like 'a questão'), you must use the crase: `relativo à questão`. If it's masculine, use `ao`: `relativo ao ponto`.
Don't Overuse It
Even in formal writing, using this more than once or twice in a document can make your prose feel 'heavy' or pretentious. Use it for your most vital point.

What It Means
Think of this phrase as the linguistic equivalent of a spotlight. When you use reveste-se de importância, you aren't just saying something is important. You are saying that the topic is literally 'clothed' or 'wrapped' in importance. It suggests that the significance is an inherent, visible part of the subject. It’s a high-level way to signal that what follows is the crux of your argument.
How To Use It
This phrase usually sits at the beginning of a sentence to introduce a key point. You start with the verb reveste-se, followed by the quality (importance), and then the subject using o aspecto relativo a. It feels a bit 'backwards' compared to English, but that's what makes it sound so elegant and professional. You’ll need to follow it with a noun or a noun phrase. For example, Reveste-se de importância o aspecto relativo à segurança (The aspect relating to security is of great importance).
When To Use It
Save this for your most serious moments. Use it in academic papers, legal documents, or high-stakes business presentations. If you are writing a formal letter to a government body or a university dean, this phrase will make you sound like a native-level intellectual. It shows you have a command of 'culto' (refined) Portuguese. It’s perfect for when you need to sound authoritative and precise.
When NOT To Use It
Whatever you do, don't use this at a barbecue. If you tell a friend, Reveste-se de importância o aspecto relativo à cerveja gelada, they will probably laugh and ask if you've been reading too many law books. It is far too stiff for casual texting, family dinners, or even most standard office emails. It’s the 'tuxedo' of phrases—don't wear it to the beach.
Cultural Background
Portuguese culture has a long history of valuing formal, almost poetic bureaucracy. This stems from a legalistic tradition where how you say something is often as important as what you are saying. Using verbs like revestir (to clothe/coat) to describe abstract concepts is a hallmark of the 'Chancery' style. It reflects a cultural appreciation for structure and gravitas in public discourse.
Common Variations
You can swap out importância for other heavy-hitting nouns. Reveste-se de gravidade is used for very serious or dangerous situations. Reveste-se de urgência means something needs to be done right now. You might also hear Assume particular relevância, which is a slightly more modern but equally formal cousin of our main phrase.
사용 참고사항
This is a C1/C2 level expression. It requires correct agreement with the subject that follows it. It is almost exclusively found in written form or very formal speeches.
The 'Crase' Trap
Remember that if the aspect is feminine (like 'a questão'), you must use the crase: `relativo à questão`. If it's masculine, use `ao`: `relativo ao ponto`.
Don't Overuse It
Even in formal writing, using this more than once or twice in a document can make your prose feel 'heavy' or pretentious. Use it for your most vital point.
The Bureaucratic Secret
In Portugal, using 'revestir-se' is often a way to show respect for the institution you are addressing. It's like wearing a suit in word form.
