Kultureller Hintergrund

In Brazilian offices, using 'em termos de' is a way to sound 'executive'. It's part of a dialect called 'Faria Limmer' (named after a financial district in São Paulo). Portuguese academics value precision. 'Em termos de' is used to strictly define the scope of a thesis or research paper. In PALOP countries, the phrase is common in news broadcasts and political speeches to discuss national development. Tech YouTubers in Brazil use this phrase constantly when comparing gadgets, making it a staple of the 'unboxing' subculture.

Don't Overuse

Using this phrase in every sentence makes you sound like a corporate robot. Mix it up with 'sobre' or 'quanto a'.
