Intéressées is a French word that translates to "interested" in English. It is the feminine plural form of the adjective "intéressé". The masculine singular form is "intéressé", the masculine plural is "intéressés", and the feminine singular is "intéressée". It describes a state of having one's attention drawn to something, or a feeling of curiosity or concern.
