Propuestos

Propuestos is the masculine plural form of the past participle of proponer in Spanish, and also functions as an adjective meaning “proposed.” The feminine plural form is propuestas, and the singular forms are propuesto (masculine) and propuesta (feminine). In practice, propuestos agrees with a masculine plural noun, as in los puntos propuestos or los candidatos propuestos.

Etymology and meaning: propuesto derives from the verb proponer, which comes from Latin proponere, literally “to put forth.” The participle retains the sense of something that has been offered, suggested, or laid forward for consideration.

Usage: as an adjective, propuestos describes items that have been presented for consideration. It typically follows the noun in Spanish word order, although emphasis can shift positioning in some constructions. The term is common in political, organizational, and academic contexts to refer to ideas, plans, candidates, or measures that have been put forward.

Noun use: while the word can appear as a noun in formal or bureaucratic registers, the standard noun for “proposals” is propuestas. In most contexts, propuestos remains an adjective, and using propostas as the noun helps avoid ambiguity.

Related terms: proponer (to propose), propuesta (proposal), proponente (proposer), proposición (proposition). The family of terms covers actions of presenting, suggesting, or putting forward recommendations in discussions, projects, or elections.

Notes: Propuestos conveys the status of something that has already been suggested and is awaiting consideration, approval, or discussion, distinguishing it from ideas that are merely imagined or not yet presented.
