This is a formal English adverb commonly used in academic writing, professional communication, and formal discourse in both American and Brazilian contexts. In Portuguese, 'além disso' is the everyday equivalent, while 'ademais' is preferred in more formal or literary writing. Brazilian Portuguese speakers may also use 'ainda mais' or simply 'também' (also) in casual speech, though these are less formal substitutes for 'moreover'.
