divulgas

Divulgas is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Portuguese verb divulgar, meaning you disclose or reveal. It is used in varieties that employ the informal pronoun tu; in many dialects, the equivalent for the pronoun você is divulga, a third-person singular form. The verb belongs to the regular -ar conjugation.

Etymology and meaning. Divulgar derives from Latin divulgare, which is formed from divulg- “to make widely known” and the -are verb ending. The sense of make public information or data is central to the modern use of divulgar, and by extension to the form divulgas in contexts that use tu as the subject.

Usage and nuance. The form divulg as in divulgas typically appears in informal speech or regional varieties that use tu. The action can be neutral, as in disseminating official information, or negative when it involves exposing private or sensitive data without authorization. In formal writing, speakers commonly use você divulga or the noun divulgação to refer to the act of making information public.

Related forms and related concepts. The lexical family includes divulgar (to disclose), divulgador/divulgadora (one who discloses), and divulgação (disclosure, dissemination). Common collocations include divulgar informações, divulgar resultados, and divulgar dados confidenciais. The term divulgação is widely used in media, corporate communication, and academic contexts to denote formal acts of public dissemination.

Note. Divulgas itself is not a standalone noun or organization; it is a verb form. Understanding its role requires recognizing the corresponding subject pronouns and the broader family of divulgare verbs in Portuguese.
