C1 Expression Formal

Em vista de

In view of

Significado

Considering; taking into account a specific situation or goal.

🌍

Contexto cultural

In Brazil, the phrase is often associated with 'juridiquês'—the complex language used by lawyers. Using it correctly can give you an air of authority in bureaucratic situations, such as dealing with a bank or a government office. Portuguese speakers in Portugal may use 'Face a' more frequently in news broadcasts, but 'Em vista de' remains the standard for formal written reports and official state documents. In African Portuguese-speaking countries, formal language often follows the classical Portuguese norms. 'Em vista de' is highly respected in academic and administrative writing. In the modern startup world in São Paulo or Lisbon, this phrase is being slightly replaced by English loanwords or 'Considerando', but it still holds weight in annual reports and board meetings.
