aprovada

Aprovada is the feminine form of the past participle of the Portuguese verb aprovar. It functions as an adjective meaning "approved" and is used to describe feminine nouns or feminine subjects. The masculine form is aprovado.

In usage, aprovadas typically appear in contexts involving decisions, proposals, documents, or certifications that have received consent or acceptance. They can be part of compound verb tenses (for example, foi aprovada, está aprovada) or act as a descriptive attribute (proposta aprovada, norma aprovada). The form agrees in gender with the noun it modifies.

Common examples include sentences such as "A proposta foi aprovada pela assembleia" or "A licença está aprovada para uso imediato." The term helps indicate formal or official status, often in governmental, legal, or organizational settings. The corresponding masculine form, aprovado, is used with masculine nouns or mixed-gender references.

Etymology traces aprovadas to the Latin approbare, through the Portuguese verb aprovar, which denotes giving consent, endorsement, or official approval. Like other past participles in Portuguese, aprovadas can function in passive constructions or as predicate adjectives after linking verbs such as ser, estar, or parecer.
