concernées

Concernées is the feminine plural past participle of the French verb concerner, used as an adjective meaning "affected" or "relevant to." It agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies, for example les personnes concernées or données concernées. The form can also function as a noun in the plural, referring to the people who are affected or involved in a matter; the singular forms are concernée (feminine) and concerné (masculine), and the masculine plural is concernés.

The term derives from the verb concerner, meaning to affect or be relevant to. It is common in administrative, legal, and media language to designate groups or items tied to a policy, decision, or event.

Usage: It indicates a direct connection between a subject and its consequences, and it often appears in statements that require informing or consulting the affected parties.

Examples: The sentences illustrate typical usage: "Les personnes concernées ont été informées." "Les données concernées par cette loi doivent être protégées." "Les concernées ont le droit de participer à la consultation."

Variations: beyond concernées, related forms include concerné (masculine singular), concernés (masculine plural), and concernée (feminine singular).
