Complètes

Complètes is the feminine plural form of the French adjective complet, meaning "complete" or "entire." It agrees with feminine plural nouns, as in des phrases complètes or des informations complètes. The masculine forms are complet (singular) and complets (plural). In everyday use, complètes describes things that are whole, finished, or fully developed, rather than partial or incomplete.

Origin and related forms: The word comes from Latin completus, the past participle of complere "to fill up," via Old French comlete and later complet. The related verb is compléter, meaning "to complete."

Usage notes: In standard French, complètes is used predominantly as an adjective. It can describe items, data, or statements that are exhaustive, e.g., "une liste complète," "des données complètes," "des réponses complètes." In contexts like reservations or scheduling, masculine "complet" or "complets" is used for sold-out or full, while feminine "complète" can agree with feminine nouns (la salle est complète).
