Donades

Donades is the feminine plural past participle of the Catalan verb donar (to give). It functions as an adjective meaning “given” or “donated” and must agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies. For example, les taules donades (the donated tables) or hores donades (the donated hours). In Catalan, past participles used as adjectives follow standard agreement: donats for masculine plural nouns, donades for feminine plural nouns.

In everyday use, donades appears in contexts involving contributions or transfers of items. It is not commonly used as a standalone noun to denote a donation; for the noun sense Catalan typically uses donació (singular) or donacions (plural). Donades is therefore best understood as an adjective describing items or quantities that have been donated.

Etymology and morphology: donades derives from Latin donare, through the Catalan verb donar. The full paradigm includes donat (masculine singular), donada (feminine singular), donats (masculine plural), and donades (feminine plural).
