enregistrés

Enregistrés is the masculine plural past participle of the French verb enregistrer, meaning recorded or registered. It is used as an adjective to describe something that has been recorded or registered, and it agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies. For example: des fichiers enregistrés (saved files), des conversations enregistrées (recorded conversations). The feminine forms are enregistrée (singular) and enregistrées (plural); the masculine singular form is enregistré.

In everyday usage, enregistrés appears in contexts such as audio and video production, journalism, and administrative or bureaucratic settings. It can appear in phrases like les enregistrements musicaux or les appels enregistrés, referring to stored data or captured media. It can also function in a passive sense in compound tenses: ces données ont été enregistrées; here the participle agrees with the subject in passive constructions or with the preceding direct object in certain passé composé structures, such as les pièces que nous avons enregistrées.

Etymology: from enregistrer, which derives from en- (in, within) plus enregistrer, reflecting the notion of capturing or recording. Related terms include enregistrer (to record), enregistrement (the act or process of recording, or a registry), and enregistré (past participle masculine singular). In translation, enregistrés can be rendered as “recorded” or “registered” depending on context.
