خلفية ثقافية

This phrase is heavily influenced by 'Juridiquês' (legal-speak), a style of Portuguese that prizes complex, Latin-derived structures. In professional Brazilian and Portuguese environments, using such 'rebuscado' (sophisticated) language is often seen as a mark of high status and intellectual rigor. It became popular in corporate settings as a way to mimic the authority of legal and academic texts.

⚠️

The Crasis Trap

Never use 'à' (with the accent) before 'dados'. 'Dados' is masculine. Use 'aos dados' or just 'a dados'. Using 'à' here is a common grammar mistake!

💡

The 'Suit' Rule

Think of this phrase like a three-piece suit. If the occasion doesn't require a suit, don't use this phrase. It's better to be too simple than awkwardly formal.

What It Means

No atinente a dados is a sophisticated connector used to introduce a specific topic. In this case, that topic is data. It functions exactly like 'regarding' or 'with respect to.' It tells your listener that you are shifting focus. You are now looking at the hard numbers or facts. It is a precise way to bridge two ideas. It sounds very professional and authoritative.

How To Use It

You usually place this phrase at the start of a sentence. You can also use it after a comma to transition. Think of it as a signpost. It points directly at the information you are about to analyze. Because it is so formal, you should follow it with a serious observation. Don't use it for trivial things. It sets a high-level tone for the rest of your statement.

When To Use It

This is your best friend in a corporate office. Use it during a PowerPoint presentation. It works perfectly in a formal email to your boss. If you are writing an academic paper, this phrase fits right in. Use it when you want to sound like an expert. It shows you have a high command of the Portuguese language. It is great for legal or technical discussions.

When NOT To Use It

Never use this at a Sunday barbecue. If you tell a friend No atinente a dados about the beer, they will laugh. It is too stiff for casual texting. Avoid it in emotional or intimate conversations. It sounds cold and detached. If you use it with your grandma, she might think you've become a lawyer overnight. Keep it for the boardroom, not the living room.

Cultural Background

Portuguese culture has a long history of 'Juridiquês.' This is a fancy style of speaking used by lawyers and officials. Using complex connectors is a sign of education in Brazil and Portugal. It stems from a desire to be precise and respectful. Even if it feels a bit 'extra,' it is a standard part of professional life. It reflects a culture that values formal protocols in business.

Common Variations

You might hear No que tange a dados. Another common one is No que diz respeito a dados. If you want something slightly simpler, use Em relação a dados. All of these serve the same purpose. They just vary in their level of 'fanciness.' No atinente a is definitely on the higher end of that scale. Just remember to use the correct grammar for the word that follows.

ملاحظات الاستخدام

This is a high-formality expression. Use it in written reports or formal presentations. Be careful with gender agreement: use 'ao' for masculine singular, 'aos' for masculine plural, and 'à' only for feminine words.

Juridiquês Secret
