It is often used to describe physically carrying or bringing something from one place to another, such as carrying groceries home from the store or bringing a gift to a friend's house.
However, portare can also be used in more abstract ways. For example, it can be used to describe bringing up a topic of conversation or introducing someone to a new idea. In these cases, the thing being brought or carried is not physical, but rather an idea or concept.
