सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Portugal, 'face a' is a staple of 'O Telejornal' (the main news). It reflects the Portuguese preference for formal, slightly melancholic justification of events. In Brazilian legal culture, 'em face de' is often used in lawsuits to indicate who the action is being brought against. In African Lusophone countries, formal Portuguese often retains a very classical structure, making 'face a' very common in official government speeches. In the Lusophone corporate world, using 'face a' in a PowerPoint presentation is a 'power move' that signals analytical thinking.
The Crase Rule
If you can replace the feminine word with a masculine one and it becomes 'ao', you need the 'à'. (Face à crise -> Face ao problema).
Don't overdo it
Using 'face a' more than twice in one email makes you sound like a 19th-century lawyer. Mix it up with 'visto que' or 'devido a'.
