For what concern or concerns?

[Dancinglonely]

Which is correct : for what concern or concerns transport and insurance costs,please arrange them to our charge.

Thanks!

Third person singular: concerns

Salve Dancinglonely,
as far as I'm aware neither...
- costs regarding/concerning transport and insurance should be charged to us
- please arrange to have costs regarding/concerning transport and insurance charged to us.
Hope I've understood...

 

[Dancinglonely]

so it's for what concerns transport and insurance costs ... and not THE transport and insurance costs,right? but I think we can say also concerning the transport and insurance costs... right?!

Dancinglonely,

"For what concerns" is not incorrect, but it does sound odd to my ears as well. Byrne's examples sound much more natural.

Hi guys!
Is it weird to say : for what concerns about (whatever) ?
Thanks

Is it weird to say : for what concerns about (whatever) ?

I would say it is rather weird, NicoleSery. If it were not, there would be at least a few hundred hits on Google Books for the phrase. As it is, there are four, two of which aren't relevant.

It is not correct to say *For what concerns X. You can say:
Concerning X,
As far as X is concerned,
Regarding X,
With regard to X,
With reference to X,
As for X,
As to X,
or (more colloquially) As far as X goes.

Applying those to Dancinglonely's example, I would say As far as transport and insurance costs are concerned, please charge them to us.
