Recuperadas

Recuperadas is the feminine plural form of the past participle of the verb recuperar, and also the feminine plural form of the adjective recuperado. It denotes that something has been recovered, retrieved, or regained, or it refers to a group of women who have undergone recovery in some sense.

Usages in language. As an adjective, recuperadas agrees with feminine nouns, for example: piezas recuperadas (recovered pieces), pruebas recuperadas (retrieved tests), o bienes recuperadas (recovered assets). In these cases, the word describes the result of a process of rescinding, finding, or restoring.

As a noun phrase, "las recuperadas" can refer to a group of women who have recovered from illness, trauma, or some form of adversity, or who have reclaimed or retrieved something. For instance: Las recuperadas del incendio recibieron atención médica. Las recuperadas de la trata participaron en un programa de reintegración. The exact sense depends on the context and on the accompanying elements that specify what was recovered or recovered from.

Grammatical notes. Recuperadas only agrees with feminine nouns. When the corresponding noun is masculine, the form changes to recuperados (e.g., los documentos recuperados). As with other participial adjectives, its meaning can be literal (physically recovered) or figurative (regained status, possession, or opportunities).

See also. The term is commonly used in journalism, legal texts, and everyday language to describe items that have been recovered or to identify groups of women who have recovered from various circumstances.
