Premiados

Premiados is a Spanish term used to refer to people or organizations that have received a prize, award, or honor. The word derives from premio, meaning prize, combined with the suffix -ado to form premiado, meaning “awardee” or “prize-winning.” The feminine forms are premiada (singular) and premiadas (plural); the masculine plural is premiados. In general usage, premiados denotes the recipients of an award rather than the act of awarding itself.

Usos: It is commonly employed in media, event programs, and official communications to identify winners or honorees. The phrase “los premiados” appears in lists of recipients for literary prizes, scientific medals, artistic distinctions, cultural honors, or sports awards. The expression can refer to national, regional, or international awards and is often used to describe recipients of prestigious prizes in Spanish-speaking contexts.

Contextos y matices: While synonyms such as ganadores and galardonados exist, premiados emphasizes the recognition conferred by an award or decoration, rather than the outcome of a competition alone. The term can describe both individuals and organizations and is used across disciplines, from arts and humanities to science and sports.
