خلفية ثقافية
In Brazil, 'consoante' is a staple of 'Juridiquês' (legal jargon). Lawyers and judges use it to maintain a sense of authority and tradition. Using it in a non-legal professional setting can make you sound very 'refined'. Portuguese administrative culture is quite formal. 'Consoante' is frequently found in the 'Diário da República' (the official gazette) and in formal letters to state institutions. In African Lusophone countries, formal written Portuguese often retains a very classical, high-register style where 'consoante' is preferred over more modern, casual alternatives in official documents. In Lusophone universities, 'consoante' is used to show that your research is grounded in existing literature. It is a 'power word' for thesis writing.
The 'No Preposition' Rule
Never say 'consoante a' unless 'a' is just the feminine article. It's never 'consoante de' or 'consoante para'.
Avoid in Small Talk
Using this word with friends makes you sound like you're reading a contract. Stick to 'como' or 'segundo'.
