fornecidas

Fornecidas is the feminine plural past participle of the Portuguese verb fornecer, meaning to provide or to supply. It functions as an adjective or in passive constructions, indicating that something has been supplied or provided. It agrees with feminine plural nouns, as in as informações fornecidas (the provided information) or as peças fornecidas (the provided parts). In masculine contexts the form is fornecidos.

The term is widespread in domains such as business, logistics, law, journalism, and public administration, where it appears in phrases describing items, data, or services that have been made available. Examples include "as informações fornecidas pelo relatório" and "os materiais fornecidos pela empresa." It can also be used to form the passive voice with ser or estar: "as informações foram fornecidas pela empresa."

Etymology and related forms: fornecer comes from the Romance language family, with cognates in other languages such as the French fournir (to supply). The Portuguese past participle fornecida (singular feminine) and fornecidas (plural feminine) follow regular gender and number agreement rules.

Notes: Fornecidas should not be confused with masculine forms (fornecidos) or with unrelated proper nouns. The concept may also appear in other languages with corresponding participles, but in Portuguese, its use is tied to the action of supplying or providing and to the grammatical agreement with feminine plural nouns.
