뜻
To talk about a specific problem or topic.
문화적 배경
In Brazilian corporate culture, 'discutir a questão' is often a polite way to start a difficult conversation without pointing fingers at individuals. In Portugal, the phrase is heavily used in political and parliamentary discourse, often with a very serious, dry tone. In these Lusophone African countries, formal Portuguese is highly respected in official settings, and this phrase is common in government and educational contexts. Universities across the Lusophone world use this phrase as a standard for thesis defenses and seminar titles.
Sound like a native executive
Use 'Gostaria de colocar a questão' to introduce a topic before discussing it. It sounds very sophisticated.
Watch the 'ão'
If you don't nasalize the 'ão' in 'questão', it might sound like 'questam', which is a common learner error.

The 'Questão' vs 'Pergunta' rule
Always use 'questão' for abstract problems and 'pergunta' for things that end in a question mark.
