معنی
To give something the proper recognition or treatment it deserves.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Brazilian corporate culture, 'fazer jus' is a key phrase in performance reviews (feedbacks). It is used to justify bonuses and promotions, emphasizing a shift towards formal meritocracy. In Portugal, the phrase is often found in high-quality journalism and literary reviews. It carries a slightly more traditional, formal weight than in Brazil. In African Lusophone countries, the phrase is common in official government discourse and formal education to discuss rights and duties of citizens. Across all Portuguese-speaking countries, this is a 'prestige' phrase. Using it correctly marks the speaker as highly educated and familiar with formal linguistic registers.
The Crase Rule
If you can replace the feminine word with a masculine one and it becomes 'ao', then the feminine version needs a 'crase' (à). Example: Fazer jus ao prêmio -> Fazer jus à medalha.
Don't skip the 'a'
Saying 'Ele faz jus o cargo' is a very common mistake for foreigners. Always include 'a'.

12 سوالNo, 'fazer jus' is a transitive relative expression, meaning it always needs the preposition 'a' to connect to what is being deserved.
It depends on the next word. If it's a feminine noun that takes an article (like 'fama'), use 'à'. If it's a verb or a word without an article, use 'a'.
Yes, but mostly in formal, professional, or academic contexts. You won't hear it much in casual street slang.
Technically possible, but very rare. It's better to use 'merecer' for punishments or negative consequences.
'Merecer' is general. 'Fazer jus' implies a formal or objective right earned through specific actions.
It sounds like 'zhoos', with the 'j' as in 'journal' (French style) and a sharp 's' at the end.
Yes, it is perfectly standard and common in European Portuguese as well.
No, the preposition is always 'a'. Using 'para' is incorrect.
Very often, especially when talking about sports results or government benefits.
