Fatigosas

Fatigosas is the feminine plural form of the adjective fatigosa in Spanish and Portuguese, used to describe something that causes fatigue or is tiresome. It refers to multiple feminine nouns, such as las tareas fatigosas (the tiresome tasks) or jornadas fatigosas (tiresome work days).

Etymology and form: fatigosas derives from the root fatiga (fatigue) and the suffix -oso/-osa, which marks adjectives indicating a quality. The masculine singular form is fatigoso (or fatigoso in some variants), with corresponding feminine forms fatiguosa and plural fatigosas.

Usage: The term is common in everyday language, journalism, and literature to characterize demanding tasks, long or complex processes, or physically and mentally exhausting activities. Examples in Spanish include “rondas fatigosas para los voluntarios” or “viajes fatigosos entre ciudades.” In Portuguese, similar constructions appear as “tarefas fatigosas” or “jornadas fatigosas,” though alternative adjectives like fatigantes or cansativas may be used depending on region and register.

Nuance: Fatigosas conveys a sense of fatigue that results from effort, duration, or difficulty. It is not a medical term; it functions as a general descriptive word. Depending on context, it can carry neutral, negative, or sympathetic nuances toward the people or tasks described.
