You can say �information� or �some information,� but never �informations.


�Information� is what is sometimes called a �collective noun.� It is understood to
be plural already, so we don�t add an -s. [This true in English. In other
languages, such as Portuguese, it is common to add an -s. But we NEVER say or write
�informations� in English.]

Examples:

The receptionist was full of useful information.

Could you give me some information, please?

Yes! Despite all the protestations you hear from Big Tech, there is a simple
privacy law that makes sense without destroying the tech industry. Let me explain,
but first, for context if you�re unfamiliar, you should know that DuckDuckGo (my

There must be some background reason for why you are asking this question the way
you are, but I�m not aware of the cause. I am not familiar with �some informations�
although it might be a form in some particular situations. As far as I know, it is
incorrect. One could say some information or just information. You might be
thinking of data and datum where you would say just datum (singular) or some data
(plural), but informations is not used like data.

�Some informations� sounds very foreign. We just say �information� in English. You
single yourself out as foreign-born using bad English. I tutor a number of foreign
students who have language issues like this one. My goal is for them to write and
speak just like a native-born English-language speaker does. You may want to find
someone to help you, too.

Some information rather than some informations, or just information, but this isn�t
as descriptive as some information.

Information is a group noun. You can have a bit of information, add more
information and have lots of information but it is never informations.

(unless it was being used, probably incorrectly,as a placeholder noun, such as in


�the train information� meaning an announcement at a station when someone might
then say �the train informations�, but this is not very good grammar, nor very
common)
