expressadas

Expressadas is the feminine plural past participle of the Portuguese verb expressar (to express). In standard grammar it functions as an adjective or as part of compound tenses and must agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies. For example, ideias expressadas na reunião foram bem recebidas; informações expressadas no relatório contêm dados adicionais; palavras expressadas pelo autor mostram uma mudança de tom.

In passive constructions, the past participle agrees with the subject: as palavras foram expressadas; as ideias foram expressadas. The masculine singular form is expressado and the feminine singular form is expressada; the feminine plural form is expressadas.

The term is commonly used in written Portuguese to describe items that have been stated or conveyed, and it can appear in noun phrases such as "as ideias expressadas" though it remains a participle rather than a standalone noun.

Etymology and related forms: expressadas derives from expressar, which comes from Latin expressus. Related words include expressing forms like expressão (expression), expressivo (expressive), and the adverb expressadamente (expressively). See also expressar, expressão, expressividade for broader linguistic usage.
