creada

Creada is the feminine singular form of the Spanish past participle of the verb crear, meaning “to create.” As an adjective, it describes something that has been created or produced and agrees with the noun it modifies.

Formation and agreement: Creada is formed from the verb crear by adding -ada for the feminine singular. The masculine counterpart is creado, with plural forms creadas (feminine) and creados (masculine). It participates in compound tenses with haber or estar, as in he creado (I have created) or estaba creada (was created). In passive voice or adjectival use, it can follow estar or ser: La obra fue creada por un equipo internacional.

Usage examples: Una idea creada por el equipo. La ciudad fue creada en el siglo XVIII. Obras creadas con materiales reciclados. These examples show how the form can describe actions or results that have been brought into existence.

Notes on meaning and ambiguity: Creada is rarely used as a noun; it is almost exclusively an adjective. There is a closely related but distinct Spanish word criada, with a different meaning and etymology, commonly used to mean maid or domestic worker. Because of this similarity in form, care is needed to distinguish between them in writing and speech.
