cambiados

Cambiados is the plural masculine form of the Spanish past participle cambiado. The verb cambiar means to change, alter, or exchange, and its participle cambiar depends on context to function as an adjective or as part of compound tenses. Cambiados, by agreement, describes multiple masculine nouns or mixed-gender groups; the feminine plural is cambiadas, the singular masculine is cambiado, and the feminine singular is cambiada. As an adjective, cambiado or cambiados conveys that something has been altered or replaced, for example, las piezas cambiadas (the changed parts) or la contraseña cambiada (the changed password). In passive constructions or perfect tenses, changed forms appear as part of a compound predicate: las reglas han sido cambiadas (the rules have been changed).

Beyond its grammatical use, cambiados can occasionally appear as a proper name in titles, geographic names, or surnames in Spanish-speaking regions, though such uses are uncommon and not widely documented. In standard linguistic usage, however, the term is primarily a participial adjective reflecting a state of alteration or modification. See also: cambiar, cambiado.
