basadas

Basadas is the feminine plural form of the past participle basar, used as an adjective in Spanish. It means “based” or “grounded” and describes something that derives its basis from a particular source, reason, or foundation. Basadas is commonly employed with feminine plural nouns, for example: ideas basadas en evidencia (evidence-based ideas) or conclusiones basadas en datos (conclusions based on data).

Grammatical notes:

- Masculine singular: basado

- Feminine singular: basada

- Masculine plural: basados

Basadas appears most often in constructions with the preposition en, forming phrases that convey dependence on a source or foundation. It is frequent in academic, journalistic, and analytical writing to indicate that claims, conclusions, or descriptions rely on specific materials, observations, or theories.

Usage considerations:

- Basadas emphasizes the source or justification behind something, rather than describing its intrinsic characteristics.

- It can pair with a wide range of nouns, including evidence, data, sources, theories, interpretations, and conclusions.

- In some contexts, basadas can be reinforced by additional qualifiers or by explicit citation of the basis (e.g., basadas en estudios longitudinales).

Etymology:

Basadas derives from the verb basar, which comes from the base or basis concept and forms adjectives and participles with the -ado suffix. The term functions as a descriptive attribute, aligning in gender and number with the noun it modifies.
