Transportées

Transportées is the feminine plural past participle of the French verb transporter. It may function as part of compound tenses with either être or avoir, and it can also serve as an adjective modifying feminine plural nouns. Its form reflects gender and number agreement.

When used with the auxiliary être, transportées forms a passive or statistic sense and agrees with the subject in gender and number: Les marchandises transportées sont arrivées. When used with the auxiliary avoir, agreement occurs only if the direct object precedes the participle: Les données qu’elles ont transportées ont été vérifiées. In this case, the participle takes the feminine plural ending -ées to match the preceding DO.

As an adjective, transportées can describe feminine plural nouns and is commonly seen in official or descriptive language: marchandises transportées, données transportées, or routes transportées. In such uses, it agrees with the noun it modifies.

Usage notes: the form is tied to the gender of the noun it accompanies. For masculine or mixed-gender groups, the corresponding forms are transported (masculine plural) or transporté (masculine singular), not transportées. The term is frequent in logistics, shipping documents, and legal texts to indicate items that have been moved or conveyed, and it appears in both everyday and formal French to convey the idea of being carried from one place to another.
