Analysées

Analysées is the feminine plural past participle of the French verb analyser. It also appears as the feminine plural form of the past participle used in passive constructions and can function as an adjective meaning “that has been analyzed.” The full related forms are analysé (masculine singular), analysée (feminine singular), analysés (masculine plural), and analysées (feminine plural).

In practice, analyses are formed with either être or avoir, with agreement rules standard in French. In the passive voice, the participle normally agrees with the subject: Les données ont été analysées (the data, feminine plural, have been analyzed). With avoir, the participle agrees with a preceding direct object: J’ai analysé les données is invariable as written, but Les données que j’ai analysées show the agreement with the preceding DO.

As an adjective, analysées describes something that has undergone analysis and agrees with the noun it modifies: résultats analysés (masculine plural), méthodes analysées (feminine plural).

Etymology traces analysées to analyser, which derives from the noun analyse, itself from Latin and ultimately Greek roots related to breaking down or examining components.

Usage is common in scientific, technical, and academic writing, where it is important to indicate that data, samples, or methods have been subjected to analysis. It may appear in phrases such as “données analysées,” “méthodes analysées,” or in passive constructions like “les échantillons ont été analysés/analysées.” See also analyse and analyser for related forms.
