Recomanada

Recomanada is the feminine singular form of the Catalan verb recomanar, meaning “to recommend.” As an adjective, it conveys the sense of “recommended” and agrees with the noun it modifies (for example, l’opció recomanada, la lectura recomanada). The masculine singular form is recomanat, and the plural forms are recomanats (masc.) and recomanades (fem.).

Common contexts for recomanada include product descriptions, travel guides, menus, and reviews, where it signals endorsement, suitability, or guidance. It is often used to label a preferred option or to indicate what a source considers the best choice in a given set.

Etymology and related terms: Recomanar derives from Latin recomendare, with subsequent development through Romance languages into Catalan. The related noun recomanació denotes the act or instance of recommending, or a formal recommendation, distinct from the adjectival use of recomanada.

Notes: Recomanada is typically not used as a standalone noun in standard Catalan; its role is descriptive. When referring to the act of recommending itself, recomanació is the appropriate term. The word forms align with Catalan gender and number agreement, so feminine plurals are recomanades and masculine plurals, recomanats.
