Expressing knowledge of a fact To express knowledge or ignorance of a fact and, generally, to say that one has or does not have information about something, the verb to use in Portuguese is saber. Remember that saber is irregular in the first person singular of the present: eu sei ‘I know’:
Você sabe onde está o Bernardo? Do you know where Bernardo is?
