Recomanades

Recomanades is the feminine plural form of the Catalan adjective recomanat, meaning "recommended." It is used to describe feminine plural nouns and to indicate items that have been endorsed or suggested by a source, such as a travel guide, reviewer, or expert. In Catalan, adjectives agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify, so recomanat becomes recomanada in the feminine singular and recomanades in the feminine plural.

Common contexts for recomanades include menus, travel guides, film or product listings, and consumer reviews. It labels items regarded as especially suitable, valuable, or endorsed by the source.

Examples of its use with different feminine nouns include rutes recomanades (recommended routes), pel·lícules recomanades (recommended films), and tecnologies recomanades (recommended technologies). The form can also appear in broader phrases such as les recomanades, used when the noun is understood from context and kept implicit.

Recomanades is primarily an adjective; it is not typically used as a standalone noun. When referring to the general concept of endorsements, the more common noun in Catalan is recomanacions. The term thus reflects how Catalan marks agreement between adjectives and their nouns and functions as a label for items singled out as worthy of attention by a particular source.
