To give facts or details about something.
Contexto cultural
The 'Lei de Acesso à Informação' (LAI) is a major cultural touchstone. Brazilians often use 'fornecer informações' when demanding transparency from politicians. In Portugal, 'prestar informações' is often seen as more elegant and traditionally correct in legal settings than 'fornecer'. In multinational companies in Angola or Mozambique, 'fornecer informações' is the standard for reporting to headquarters, signaling alignment with international business norms. With the rise of apps like iFood or Nubank, 'fornecer informações' has become part of the user experience (UX) language in Portuguese, appearing in privacy pop-ups.
The 'Sobre' Rule
Always pair 'fornecer informações' with 'sobre' when talking about a topic. It's the most natural preposition.

If you're at a party, use 'dar'. If you use 'fornecer' while holding a beer, people will think you're still at the office.
