معنی
To investigate and determine the truth of a matter.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Portugal, the 'c' in 'factos' is a point of pride and a clear marker of European Portuguese since the spelling reform. Using it correctly shows high-level integration. In Brazil, 'apurar os fatos' is the catchphrase of famous news anchors like William Bonner. It signals 'serious journalism' in a country with a very vibrant and sometimes sensationalist media landscape. In African Lusophone countries, the phrase is heavily used in post-conflict resolution and official government gazettes to signal transparency. Across the Lusophone world, 'segredo de justiça' (judicial secrecy) often prevents officials from saying anything *except* 'estamos a apurar os factos'. It's the ultimate 'no comment' that still sounds productive.
Use it in Job Interviews
If asked how you handle mistakes, say: 'Primeiro, procuro apurar os factos para entender a origem do erro.' It sounds incredibly professional.
The 'C' is not silent in Portugal
In Portugal, if you don't pronounce the 'c' in 'factos', people might think you are talking about 'fatos' (suits).
