alteradas

Alteradas is the feminine plural form of the Portuguese adjective and past participle “alterado,” meaning changed, modified, or adjusted. It is used to describe feminine plural nouns that have undergone modification. In sentences it commonly functions in passive voice or as a descriptive modifier, as in “as imagens foram alteradas” (the images have been altered) or “as informações alteradas” (the altered information).

Etymology and usage notes: The word comes from the verb “alterar,” which derives from Latin alterare, meaning to change or modify. In regular Portuguese, tense combinations with auxiliary verbs (e.g., foram alteradas, estavam alteradas) express completed or ongoing modification. “Alteradas” can refer to a wide range of subjects, including data, settings, documents, or physical objects, whenever they have been changed from their original state.

Domains and examples: In linguistics or education, one might discuss “notas alteradas” to denote notes that have been sharpened or flattened in music notation. In information technology or administrative contexts, phrases like “configurações alteradas” or “perfis alterados” indicate settings or profiles that have been modified. In legal or bureaucratic language, “leis alteradas” or “projetos alterados” describe amended statutes or revised proposals.

Limitations and scope: There is no single, universally recognized entity named Alteradas; it is primarily a grammatical form in Portuguese. When capitalized, Alteradas may occasionally appear as a surname or place name in specific contexts, but such uses are not standard or widespread.
