The word "tués" is often used in contexts related to violence, conflict, or accidents where death has occurred. It can refer to people, animals, or even plants that have been killed.

In legal or journalistic contexts, "tués" is used to report on casualties of war, crime, or other fatal events. For instance, a news report might state that "des soldats ont été tués au combat" (soldiers were killed in combat) or "des victimes ont été tuées dans l'accident" (victims were killed in the accident). The word emphasizes the finality of death and the act that caused it.

The term can also appear in more general discussions about mortality. For example, one might discuss the number of animals "tués" by predators or the number of plants "tuées" by disease. The grammatical form "tués" is plural and masculine, but it can also be used for a mixed-gender group or to refer to a single masculine noun. The feminine plural form is "tuées." The singular masculine is "tué" and the singular feminine is "tuée."
