Very good Flávia,

great supplement.

see you.

Cuidado aqui pessoal. Vejam no Google, por exemplo,

"an appreciation of this problem" ou
"judicial appreciation"

É usado em inglês tb, com o mesmo significado do português.

Along with the word "appreciation" meaning assessment, comes the much-used term précis, or summary: the "precise," "concise" statement of an issue, problem, or solution. Another French word that English adopted was "apperçu," meaning "apercepção" ou "apanhado."

So in a deeper sense "to appreciate," means to have a good perception of something, and when you say to somebody "I appreciate what you did," it really means more than "I thank you": it means "I´m aware, conscious of what you did."

And in common use, when you want to indicate awareness of an aspect of an issue, for instance, you'd say "Yes, I appreciate that but my concern is in another area."

It's a great expression to have ready for use!
