Convocada

Convocada is the feminine singular form of the past participle of the Spanish verb convocar. Used as an adjective, it means summoned or called together, and it agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies (convocada, convocadas; masculine, convocado, convocados). It can also function as a informal noun referring to a person who has been summoned, though this usage is less common.

In everyday and institutional language, convocada emphasizes that someone or some group has received an official call to gather, participate, or respond. It appears in contexts such as political or administrative events (las personas convocadas a la audiencia), meetings or hearings (la reunión convocada para el lunes), and labor or social actions (la huelga convocada). In sports, the term is often used regarding athletes who have been selected to participate, for example, la jugadora convocada para la selección; alternatively, the broader list is called la convocatoria, while those named are the convocadas.

Grammatical notes: the feminine form is required when the noun is feminine; the masculine counterpart is convocado and the plural forms are convocados and convocadas. The term is closely related to convocatoria (the act of calling together) and to convocar (to summon). Etymologically, it derives from con- “together” and vocare “to call.” Regional usage is consistent across Spanish-speaking countries, though the specific contexts (sports, politics, work) may vary.
