Flashcards phrase: I don’t usually participate in those conversations.
Não costumo participar nessas conversas.
Why is nessas chosen rather than naquela ?
Thanks in anticipation of help in understanding.

@maureenlister1, both are possible (nessas and naquelas), but they are understood slightly differently:
Thank you that’s very helpful. My understanding of the original phrase was that of the latter explanation. Ie I don’t take part in those conversations that other people have.eg some sort of ongoing contentious issue of which I do not want to be involved. The alternative explanation and use of nessa is also very clear.
Glad to help!
