Cobrada

Cobrada is the feminine form of the past participle of the Portuguese verb cobrar, used as an adjective meaning “charged,” “billed,” or “collected.” It agrees with feminine nouns and is common in contexts involving fees, prices, or penalties. The masculine counterpart is cobrado.

In practice, cobr ada appears in phrases such as a taxa cobrada (the charged fee) or a tarifa cobrada (the charged tariff). When referring to a charged amount with a masculine noun, you would typically use cobrado, as in o valor cobrado (the charged amount). The form is frequently found in financial, administrative, and consumer texts, including invoices, receipts, contracts, and policy documents.

Usage notes: cobr ada is primarily a descriptive adjective and is not used as a standalone verb. The related noun cobranÇa denotes the act or process of charging or collecting, for example, a cobrança de impostos (the collection of taxes) or a cobrança administrativa (an administrative charge).

Etymology and related forms: cobr ada derives from the verb cobrar, which means to charge, demand payment, or collect. Other common derivatives include cobrança (the act of charging) and cobrar (the verb itself).
