assumidas

Assumidas is the feminine plural form of the Portuguese past participle of the verb assumir. In grammar, it functions as an adjective or a passive participle and agrees with feminine plural nouns. The form conveys that something has been taken on, adopted, or accepted by someone or by a group.

The term is used to describe actions, commitments, or states that have been undertaken or assumed. Common contexts include responsibilities, positions, tasks, or conclusions. For example, as responsabilidades assumidas pelo comitê (the responsibilities undertaken by the committee), as posições assumidas pelo partido (the positions adopted by the party), or as decisões assumidas pelo governo (the decisions taken by the government). It can also appear in linguistic or scientific contexts, such as as premissas assumidas pelo modelo (the premises assumed by the model).

Usage notes: assumir can have several related senses, including taking on duties, adopting a stance, or supposing something to be true. The past participle assumidas emphasizes that the characteristics or actions described have already been taken up or accepted. When used in compound tenses, the feminine plural agrees with the noun it modifies, as in as metas assumidas foram alcançadas (the goals assumed were achieved).
