زمینه فرهنگی
In Brazil, using very formal language like this is often called 'juridiquês' if overused, as it mimics the complex language of lawyers. Portuguese speakers in Europe tend to use 'Relativamente a' more frequently than 'Concernente a', though both are understood. In academic settings in Luanda or Maputo, this phrase is a standard part of the formal 'Norma Culta' used in official documents. In high-level business meetings (reuniões de diretoria), this phrase is used to sound objective and data-driven.
The Crase Rule
If you can swap 'pesquisa' for 'estudo' and the 'à' becomes 'ao', you need the crase!
Don't overdo it
Using this in a text message to your mom will make her think your phone was hacked by a lawyer.

What It Means
Concernente à pesquisa is a formal bridge. It links an idea or a question to a specific study. In English, you might say 'regarding the research' or 'with respect to the study'. It implies a level of precision. It is not just casual talk. It suggests you are looking at data or official findings. Use it when you want to sound authoritative. It shows you know exactly which research you are talking about.
How To Use It
You usually place this phrase at the start of a sentence. It sets the stage for what follows. You can also use it after a noun to define it. For example, 'questions concernente à pesquisa'. A vital technical detail is the à. This is a 'crase'. It is the fusion of the preposition a and the article a. If you talk about a masculine word, like estudo, it becomes concernente ao estudo. Keep that grammar in your back pocket!
When To Use It
This is your go-to for professional settings. Use it in a university thesis defense. Use it in a corporate email to your manager. It works perfectly in a lab report or a legal document. If you are presenting slides at a conference, this phrase makes you sound like an expert. It tells your audience, 'I am being specific here.' It is great for clarifying which data set you are referencing.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this at a Sunday barbecue. If you ask your friend, 'What is the news concernente à pesquisa of the beer price?', they will laugh. It is too stiff for casual texts. Avoid it when talking to children or in high-emotion, informal situations. It can make you sound like a robot if used in a bar. Stick to sobre (about) for everyday life. Save the big guns for the office.
Cultural Background
Portuguese culture has a deep respect for formal education and bureaucracy. Historically, legal and academic language in Brazil and Portugal is quite ornate. Using 'fancy' connectors like concernente is a sign of 'falar bem' (speaking well). It is a social marker. It shows you have reached a certain level of literacy and professional standing. Even if it feels long, it is a shortcut to gaining respect in a boardroom.
Common Variations
You will often hear em relação à pesquisa or no que diz respeito à pesquisa. These mean the same thing. Acerca da pesquisa is another common one. If you want to be slightly less formal but still professional, try quanto à pesquisa. All of these serve as 'topic markers'. They tell the listener exactly where to focus their attention before you deliver the main news.
نکات کاربردی
This is a high-register expression. Use it primarily in writing or formal speeches to maintain a professional image.
The Crase Rule
If you can swap 'pesquisa' for 'estudo' and the 'à' becomes 'ao', you need the crase!
Don't overdo it
Using this in a text message to your mom will make her think your phone was hacked by a lawyer.
Academic Gold
Use this in the first sentence of your Portuguese proficiency exam (Celpe-Bras) to impress the graders.

Yes! Use 'concernentes às pesquisas' if you are talking about more than one study.
Only in formal settings. In a casual conversation, it sounds very stiff and unnatural.
