Basées

Basées is the feminine plural form of the past participle baser, used as an adjective meaning “based” or “founded.” In French, baser is a transitive verb, and its participle agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies. The related forms include basé (masculine singular) and basés (masculine plural), as well as basées (feminine plural) and baserée? No, the correct feminine forms are basées and basée.

The phrase basées sur is common in French and means “based on.” It is used to indicate the foundation or basis of a claim, theory, or conclusion. Examples: Cette théorie est basée sur des données. Les conclusions basées sur des hypothèses doivent être vérifiées. When describing the location of a company or organization, the adjective can appear as basée, basées, etc., depending on the noun: La société est basée à Paris; Les filiales sont basées à Lyon.

Grammatical notes: basée/basées agrees with the noun it describes. In passive or stative constructions with être, the participle often functions adjectivally (La théorie est basée...). With avoir, agreement occurs only if a preceding direct object changes the participle’s form, which is uncommon for this verb in ordinary usage.

Related terms include baser (the verb), base (as a noun meaning foundation or starting point), and synonyms such as fondé sur and reposant sur, all conveying the idea of something being the result of a foundation or basis.
