Cultural Background
In Brazil, using 'Concernente à' is often associated with 'Juridiquês' (legal jargon). Lawyers and judges love this phrase because it sounds authoritative and precise. Portuguese speakers in Portugal tend to use 'Relativamente à' more frequently than 'Concernente à', though both are perfectly acceptable in formal writing. In formal African Portuguese contexts, especially in government documents, 'Concernente à' remains a standard marker of officialdom inherited from the colonial administrative style. Across all Lusophone countries, this phrase is a 'safety' phrase for thesis writing. It helps maintain the 'impersonal' tone required for scientific objectivity.
The Crase Check
If you can replace 'análise' with 'estudo' and the phrase becomes 'ao estudo', then you MUST use 'à' with 'análise'.
Don't Overuse
Using this more than once in a short email makes you sound like a 19th-century bureaucrat. Vary your connectors!

What It Means
This phrase is your go-to for sounding super official. It means 'concerning the analysis' or 'regarding the analysis.' You use it when you want to be precise about what you're talking about. It's like saying, 'Okay, let's focus specifically on this report/study/evaluation.' It adds a touch of seriousness and professionalism. It’s not just 'about' something; it's *specifically* about the analysis itself.
How To Use It
Pop this phrase at the beginning of a sentence or paragraph. It acts like a signpost. It tells your reader or listener, 'Hey, what I'm about to say is directly connected to that analysis we discussed or that I'm about to present.' You can use it to introduce a point, clarify a connection, or even start a new section in a formal document. It's like putting a label on a box so everyone knows what's inside.
Formality & Register
This is where Concernente à análise shines! It's definitely on the formal side. Think professional emails, academic papers, official reports, or serious business meetings. It’s not something you’d text your best friend unless you were joking. Using it in a super casual chat might make you sound like a robot trying to be fancy. But in the right context? Chef's kiss!
Real-Life Examples
Imagine you're reviewing a business proposal. You might write: Concernente à análise de mercado, notamos uma tendência de crescimento. (Regarding the market analysis, we noticed a growth trend.) Or in a scientific paper: Concernente à análise dos resultados, os dados são conclusivos. (Concerning the analysis of the results, the data are conclusive.) It’s all about linking your statement directly to the analytical work done.
When To Use It
Use Concernente à análise when you need to be clear and formal. This includes:
- Introducing findings from a report.
- Referring back to a specific study.
- Clarifying a point related to data evaluation.
- Starting a section in a formal document.
- Discussing research outcomes in an academic setting.
- Responding to queries about a specific analysis.
Basically, any time you want to sound precise and professional. It’s your secret weapon for sounding smart!
When NOT To Use It
Avoid Concernente à análise in casual conversations. Don't use it when texting friends about weekend plans or commenting on a funny meme. It's too stiff for everyday chit-chat. If you're ordering coffee, saying Gostaria de um café, concernente à análise do meu pedido would be… well, weird. Stick to simpler phrases like sobre (about) or em relação a (in relation to) for informal situations.
Common Mistakes
Learners sometimes overuse formal phrases or use them in the wrong context. Another common slip-up is mixing formality levels within the same sentence, which can sound awkward. Also, forgetting the à (the crase) is a frequent grammatical error. It's like wearing a tuxedo to a beach party – looks out of place!
✗ Concernente análise de dados, os números são altos.
✓ Concernente à análise de dados, os números são altos.
Common Variations
While Concernente à análise is quite specific, related phrases exist. Em relação à análise (In relation to the analysis) is a bit more common and slightly less formal. No que diz respeito à análise (As far as the analysis is concerned) is another formal option. You might also hear Sobre a análise (About the analysis), which is more neutral. Think of them as different shades of formality.
