Analizadas

Analizadas is the feminine plural form of the past participle of analizar, the Spanish verb meaning “to analyze.” As a participle used as an adjective, analizadas describes nouns that have undergone analysis and agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies. For example: las muestras analizadas (the analyzed samples) and las pruebas analizadas (the analyzed tests). It can also appear in passive voice constructions, such as las muestras fueron analizadas (the samples were analyzed).

Etymology and form: analizadas is derived from analizar plus the participle suffix -ado, following the regular pattern of Spanish past participles. The masculine plural equivalent is analizados, and the feminine singular is analizada.

Usage notes: analizadas is common in scientific, academic, and technical writing, where objects such as datos, muestras, o pruebas are described as having been examined. The form is strictly feminine plural; when the noun is masculine, the corresponding form would be analizados. When used as a predicate adjective, analizadas contributes to a descriptive phrase rather than naming the action itself.

Examples of usage in neutral contexts include: “Las muestras analizadas respaldan la hipótesis,” “Las investigaciones analizadas revelan tendencias.” Although analizadas can sometimes function in noun-like phrases in informal speech, it is generally better to maintain the noun as the subject and treat analizadas as a descriptive participle.
