What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is composed of gracias (thanks), por (for), la información (the information) and brindada (provided/offered).
Which one should you use?
While gracias por la información brindada is a complete and formal way to express gratitude, you can also use gracias por la información to be more neutral or casual by omitting the word brindada. In highly formal or technical contexts, you might replace brindada with suministrada to mean supplied or provided, resulting in gracias por la información suministrada.
Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?
The use of the participle brindada makes gracias por la información brindada sound more formal and professional than simply saying gracias por la información.
Is it said differently in some regions?
In Argentina and Uruguay, it is common to use the phrase ¡Muchas gracias por la data! instead of using the word información.
How does it change in a sentence?
The adjective brindada must agree in gender (feminine) and number (singular) with the noun información.
How do you pronounce it?
/ɡɾaθjas poɾ la infoɾmaθjon bɾindada/
Did you know?
- In Spanish, the verb brindar is most commonly associated with the act of 'toasting' a drink. Using it to mean 'provided' in a professional context elevates the tone by subtly suggesting the information was 'offered' as a kind gesture.
- In some highly formal Spanish contexts, it is common to respond to gracias not with 'you are welcome', but with no hay de qué, which literally means 'there is nothing for which to be thankful'.
- In Argentina and Uruguay, the word data is used casually to mean 'the inside scoop' or 'useful tips'. Using la data instead of información makes the request for information sound like a search for a secret or a shortcut.
