Enterados

Enterados is a Spanish term that can function as either an adjective or a noun in the masculine plural form. As an adjective, enterado means “informed” or “aware,” and entered in plural as enterados to describe people who know about a fact or situation. As a noun phrase, los enterados refers to a group of informed or knowledgeable people. The related feminine forms are enterada (singular) and enteradas (plural).

The word derives from the verb enterar, which means to inform or to learn, with the pronominal form enterarse meaning “to become aware” or “to find out.” The expression estar enterado de algo is common across Spanish-speaking regions and translates to “to be aware of something” or “to be informed about something.” The plural los enterados can carry a nuance of insiders or people who are particularly knowledgeable, sometimes with a slightly ironic or pejorative tone depending on context.

Usage and nuance: estar enterado is used to indicate knowledge of facts, events, or developments. For example, “Estoy enterado de los costos” means I am aware of the costs. “Los enterados de la empresa” might refer to people who have privileged information, or simply to well-informed staff, depending on tone and context. Synonyms include informado, al tanto, and enterado de.

As a proper noun, Enterados could hypothetically be the name of a publication, project, or brand, but there is no widely recognized entity by that name universally; any such use would require specific contextual clarification.
