agrada

Aagrada is a present-tense verb form found in several Romance languages, most notably Catalan and Spanish, derived from the verb agradar (to please or to like). In these languages, agradar is used to express that something is pleasing or liked by someone. AgradA is the third-person singular form, agreeing with a singular subject, and it is commonly accompanied by clitic pronouns to indicate who is pleased, as in me, te, li, ho or m’ in Catalan and me, te, le in some Spanish varieties.

In Catalan, a typical construction is aquesta cançó m'agrada, meaning “I like this song” or “this song pleases me.” The form also appears in impersonal or generic statements, such as "Agradable és per a tothom" in more formal or literary contexts. In Spanish, the corresponding forms are used similarly, for example: Ese plan me agrada (That plan pleases me / I like that plan) or Le agrada la noticia (He/she likes the news). In everyday Spanish, however, voler más common equivalents include me gusta or me agrada in some regional varieties.

Etymology traces agradar to the Romance verb family, with roots connected to the Latin placere (to please). The exact historical path varies by language, but the core meaning—to cause pleasure or to be pleasing—remains consistent across dialects that retain the form agrada.

See also: agrado, agradable, gustar, placere. Note that while agrada appears as a common verb form in Catalan and Spanish, it is not typically used as a standalone noun or proper noun, and there is no widely recognized place or entity officially named Aagrada.
