Transférés

Transférés is the masculine plural past participle of the French verb transférer, meaning transferred. It is used in two main ways: as part of verb tenses formed with auxiliary verbs, and as an adjective describing something that has undergone a transfer. The corresponding forms are transféré (masculine singular), transférés (masculine plural), transférée (feminine singular), and transférées (feminine plural).

In grammar, the past participle transféré agrees with the subject when the passive voice is used with the auxiliary être. For example: les fichiers ont été transférés (the files have been transferred). When used as an adjective directly after a noun, it agrees with the noun: des fichiers transférés (transferred files). With the auxiliary avoir, agreement depends on whether a preceding direct object exists; for instance, j’ai transféré les fichiers (I transferred the files) uses no agreement with the participle in that position, whereas if the direct object precedes the participle, agreement would occur: les fichiers que j’ai transférés (the files that I transferred).

Origin and usage: transferred is derived from the verb transférer, itself from trans- “across” and ferre “to bear,” via Latin roots. In everyday French, transféré and its inflected forms are common in contexts involving data, documents, assets, or responsibilities changing location or ownership, such as IT operations, logistics, or administrative procedures.
