It's about a <strong>adjective<\/strong> which refers to <strong>concerning, related or relative<\/strong>.  For example: <em>\"With regard to security, the president announced that the State will buy new satellites to monitor the borders and fight drug trafficking.\"<\/em>, <em>\"We are going to do the following: you are in charge of contacting customers and I am dedicated to everything related to suppliers\"<\/em>, <em>\"I consider that I have the professional preparation related to this position\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The pertinent refers to what <strong>it concerns<\/strong>.  Suppose the governor of a province is giving a speech about the inauguration of a new hospital.  In this framework, in addition to informing the characteristics of the hospital, the president provides details on the investment made by his <strong>government<\/strong> in matters of public health.  These data are relevant to the inauguration in question since they are part of the same theme.  On the other hand, if the governor started talking about football or music, to name two possibilities, such comments would not be relevant to the act.<\/p>\n<p>For something to be relevant, you always have to put it in <strong>relationship<\/strong> with another element: <strong>nothing is relevant by itself<\/strong>.  A wheel is a circular piece that has the ability to rotate around an axis.  The wheels are related to the operation of a bicycle, but they have nothing to do with the operation of a telephone or a camera.  Therefore, the wheels are only <em>\"Relevant\"<\/em> in some contexts, when they are related to certain things (such as a bicycle, a car, or a truck).<\/p>\n<p>According to the definition provided by the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy for the term <em>concern<\/em>, we know that it means \u00abto correspond, to concern\u00bb, and this is clearly explained in the previous paragraphs: <strong>preparation<\/strong> professional that <strong>corresponds to<\/strong> the position you are running for, the speech you <em>it concerns<\/em> to the participants of the inauguration of a hospital, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>The word <em>pertinent<\/em> is the adjective that is part of the verb family <em>concern<\/em>, and that is why they share their meanings although their use varies: <em>\"East <strong>contents<\/strong> it concerns our research \u00bb<\/em> is the same as saying <em>\"This content is relevant to our research\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Atinente.jpg\" alt=\"Relevant\" width=\"237\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-48636\"\/>Among the most common synonyms of the term <em>pertinent<\/em> we find the following: pertinent, belonging, <strong>Referrer<\/strong> and touching.  On the other hand, it is also related to the words <em>concerning<\/em> Y <em>allusive<\/em>, since they can be used in similar contexts, with certain differences and considerations.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that the adjective <em>pertinent<\/em> It is not in common use in everyday speech, but is reserved especially for the press and literature.  In informal conversation, it is more natural to say \"it is related\" or \"has to do with\" than \"it is relevant.\"  It is not an isolated phenomenon or, much less, exclusive to this term;  on the contrary, it responds to a tendency of Spanish-speakers to avoid <strong>conciseness<\/strong> proper of an adjective and opt for a long and untidy construction.<\/p>\n<p>The word <em>what<\/em>, used as a relative pronoun or conjunction, often abounds in everyday speech.  Thanks to its great flexibility, it allows us to get out of a hurry when we do not remember a very specific term, such as an adjective, but it carries a very high price: it negatively affects the clarity of the message, since it requires greater attention to the <strong>concordances<\/strong> between tense and number.<\/p>\n<p>Let's look at an example in which one of the disadvantages of avoiding conciseness is clearly demonstrated: <em>\u00abThe boss told me <strong>what <\/strong>this is the document <strong>what concerns<\/strong> to what <strong>that she expressed<\/strong> at the meeting <strong>what we had<\/strong> this morning\"<\/em> is more difficult than <strong>understand<\/strong> \u2014And less aesthetic\u2014 than <em>\u00abThe boss told me that this is the document <strong>pertinent <\/strong>to what <strong>voiced <\/strong>at the meeting <strong>from <\/strong>this morning\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-center kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;center&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;2832&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;pertinent&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 0px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                \n\n<div class=\"kksr-legend\" style=\"font-size: 19.2px;\">\n            <span class=\"kksr-muted\">Rate this post<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Latin term att\u012dnens arrived in Castilian as pertinent.
