Robada

Robada is the feminine past participle of the Spanish verb robar and is used as an adjective to describe feminine nouns that have been stolen or as part of passive constructions. For example, in the sentence la casa fue robada, the word robada agrees with casa to indicate that the house was stolen. In phrases like mercancía robada, robada modifies the noun to signify the item has been stolen. The masculine form of the participle is robado, and the plural forms are robadas and robados.

In standard Spanish, robada is not used as a standalone noun meaning “a theft.” The common noun for theft is robo, while robada functions primarily to describe a feminine noun or to form a passive construction with haber or ser. Its use is grammatical rather than lexical, changing to agree with the gender and number of the noun it modifies.

Beyond grammar, robada may appear in onomastic contexts, such as in local place names or family names in some Spanish-speaking regions. However, it is not a widely recognized label for a specific place, organization, or concept in English-language scholarship. If a particular reference to robada is intended, specifying whether the term is being used as a verb form, a noun in a given locale, or part of a proper name will help clarify its meaning.
