Quanto à conclusão

Think of this as a bridge between points. You’ve discussed the problem and the data. Now, you need to talk about the result. Drop this phrase at the start of your sentence. Quanto à conclusão, precisamos de mais tempo. Notice how it sets the stage? It’s very common in written Portuguese like emails or reports. In speech, it sounds a bit more formal. It’s like wearing a blazer to a casual lunch. It works perfectly when you are presenting a project. Or maybe when you are arguing with a friend. It helps you sound like you have your life together. Even if you just woke up from a nap. Just remember to use the crase (the accent on à). Without it, your grammar-loving friends might cry a little.

This phrase lives in the B2 level for a reason. It’s not something you’d scream at a football match. It’s more "Zoom call with the boss" than "Beer with the boys." We call this a neutral-to-formal register. In a legal document, it’s a standard transition. In a WhatsApp message, it might sound a bit sarcastic. Or maybe just very polite if you're texting a teacher. If you want to be super casual, use enfim. But if you want to impress a recruiter, Quanto à conclusão is your best friend. It shows you know the nuances of the language. It’s like the difference between "Yeah, whatever" and "In summary."

Imagine you are writing a review on Amazon. You liked the product but hated the price. You could write: Quanto à conclusão, recomendo mas é caro. Or think about a travel vlogger on YouTube. They might say: Quanto à conclusão da nossa viagem, foi incrível. It pops up in LinkedIn posts all the time. People use it to summarize their "learning journey." You’ll also hear it in news reports after a long segment. The anchor will pivot back to the studio using this phrase. It’s a classic way to signal a transition. It’s even useful when ordering a multi-course meal. Quanto à conclusão do jantar, quero o doce. Just kidding, nobody says that at dinner. That would be a bit too much drama.

Use it when you need to be precise. It’s perfect for the final paragraph of an essay. Or the last slide of a PowerPoint deck. Use it when you want to shift the focus. If you’ve been talking about costs, use it to talk about results. It’s great for job interviews on Zoom. It shows you can organize your thoughts under pressure. Use it when you are replying to a long email thread. It helps the recipient find your main point quickly. It’s also useful for book or movie reviews. If you’re a gamer, use it in a forum post. Summarize your thoughts on the latest patch with style.

Don't use it in a heated argument with your partner. It sounds way too much like a business meeting. "Regarding the conclusion of this fight..." will not end well. Avoid it in very short, casual text messages. It’s too heavy for a "see you soon" vibe. If you’re just chatting about the weather, it’s overkill. Don't use it if you don't actually have a conclusion. It creates an expectation of a final verdict. If you keep talking for ten more minutes, you lied. Also, don't use it with verbs (like concluir). That requires a different grammatical structure. Stick to the noun conclusão to stay safe.

Many people forget the crase (the back-tick on the a). This is the most common mistake for everyone. Even native speakers mess this up on social media. Another mistake is using it as a synonym for finalmente. Finalmente is just about time (at last). Quanto à conclusão is about the topic of the ending. ✗ Quanto à conclusão, eu cheguei em casa → ✓ Finalmente, eu cheguei em casa. Don't use it to mean "at the end of the day" either. For that, use no fim das contas. Keep this phrase specifically for summaries and takeaways. If you confuse them, you might sound like a robot. A very polite, slightly confused robot.

If Quanto à conclusão feels too stiff, try Em relação à conclusão. It means the same thing but feels a bit more fluid. For a more academic vibe, use No que diz respeito à conclusão. That one is a real mouthful for your tongue. In a more casual setting, you might just say Sobre a conclusão. It’s the "t-shirt and jeans" version of our phrase. Some people say Quanto ao final, which is more common for stories. Quanto ao desfecho is great for talking about movie endings. If you are in Brazil, you might hear No tocante à conclusão. But honestly, that sounds like a 19th-century lawyer. Stick to the classic one for the best results.

Is this phrase common in Portugal and Brazil? Yes, it is used equally in both countries. It is a standard part of the Portuguese language globally. Can I use it to start a conversation? Usually no, because you need something to conclude first. It’s a transition, not an introduction. Is it always used with a comma? Yes, almost always. You are setting off a phrase, so give it a pause. What is the opposite of this phrase? There isn't a direct opposite like "Regarding the start." You would just say Quanto ao início or Para começar. Is it too formal for Instagram? Only if you're trying to be funny or very serious. Otherwise, stick to No fim or Enfim for captions. It works well for long, thoughtful captions though!
