No que tange à categorização

You use this phrase at the start of a sentence. Or you use it to transition between two complex ideas. It requires the preposition a. Since categorização is a feminine word, you must use the crase: à. If you change the topic to a masculine word, use ao. For example: no que tange ao processo. It’s like wearing a suit for your words.

Use this in a business meeting. Use it when writing a formal report or an academic paper. It works great when you want to sound authoritative. If you are debating a complex topic, this phrase helps organize your thoughts. It tells the listener: 'Pay attention, I am being specific now.'

Do not use this at a loud bar. Your friends will think you are acting like a robot. Avoid it when texting your partner about grocery lists. It is too heavy for casual 'bate-papo' (small talk). If you use it while ordering a burger, the waiter might laugh. Keep it for moments that require a bit of gravitas.

Portuguese culture values formal education and eloquent speech. Using 'fancy' connectors like this shows you are well-read. It stems from legal and academic traditions in Portugal and Brazil. It’s part of the 'norma culta' (the formal standard) of the language. Even though it sounds old-fashioned to some, it remains a staple in professional life.

You will often hear No que diz respeito a. Another common one is Quanto à. Both mean roughly the same thing. If you want to be slightly less formal, use Em relação a. If you want to be very direct, just use Sobre. But if you want to impress a CEO, stick with No que tange.
