classificada

Classificada is the feminine past participle of the Portuguese verb classificar, meaning “to classify.” In everyday usage it functions as an adjective describing something that has been sorted, categorized, or evaluated. For instance, “publicidade classificada” refers to classified advertisements, a category of short, localized ads in newspapers or online platforms where individuals sell goods or services. The term is also employed in educational contexts, where students may be labeled as “estudante classificada” to indicate their placement in a particular academic track or proficiency level.

Beyond its grammatical function, classificada has appeared as a title in Brazilian media. A 1995 documentary named “Classificada” examined the lives of women working in the nightlife industry in São Paulo. In music, the Brazilian pop singer Daniela Mercury released a song titled “Classificada” in 1999, which was noted for its feminist themes. The word also surfaces in film ratings; a movie may be marked as “classificada” by the national audiovisual authority to signal the level of content suitability for different audiences.

The concept of classification itself is integral to several fields—law, biology, and technology—making the term classificada a versatile descriptor within Portuguese‑speaking cultures. Its usage reflects how societies organize information and assign value through categorization.
