No atinente à questão

You usually place it at the start of a sentence. It sets the stage for the information following it. You can also use it mid-sentence to pivot. Remember that atinente always needs the preposition a. Since questão is feminine, you must use the crasis à. It acts like a spotlight on a dark stage.

Use this in formal emails or job interviews. It works perfectly in academic papers or legal discussions. If you are presenting a project, use it to transition. It shows you have a high command of the language. It makes you sound like someone who reads a lot of books.

Avoid this phrase at a loud bar with friends. Do not use it while ordering a pizza. If you use it with your siblings, they might laugh. It is way too heavy for casual 'bate-papo.' Using it in a casual text might seem like a joke. Keep it for moments when you wear a tie.

Portuguese culture, especially in legal and academic circles, values eloquence. This phrase has deep roots in 'Juridiquês' (legalese). In Brazil and Portugal, showing you can use complex structures is a sign of education. It is part of a tradition of formal rhetoric. It hasn't changed much over the decades.

You might hear No que tange à questão which is very similar. Relativamente à questão is another common alternative. For something slightly less stiff, try Quanto à questão. If you want to be very simple, just use Sobre a questão. Each one changes the 'flavor' of your sentence slightly.
