evocadas

Evocadas is the feminine plural past participle of the verb evocar in Portuguese. It functions as an adjective or in passive voice to indicate things that have been evoked or summoned. It modifies feminine plural nouns, for example: memórias evocadas, imagens evocadas, cenas evocadas. The masculine counterpart is evocados, and the related noun evocação denotes the act of evoking.

Etymology: evocadas derives from Latin evocare, formed from the prefix e- (out) combined with vocare (to call). In Portuguese, the form and use reflect standard participle morphology for feminine plural adjectives and past participles.

Usage: evocadas commonly appears in literary, historical, and cultural contexts to describe memories, atmospheres, or references summoned by language, imagery, or sound. For instance, uma lembrança evocada pela canção or as paisagens evocadas pela narrativa help create mood or meaning without literal description. It can also appear in passive constructions: as tradições foram evocadas pela comunidade.
