exprimés

Exprimés is the masculine plural of the French past participle exprimé, used as an adjective meaning “expressed” or “stated.” In written French, it commonly accompanies a noun to indicate that the information has been presented in a specific form, unit, or language, rather than remaining raw or unformatted.

In scientific, statistical, and mathematical contexts, exprimés serves to clarify how data are presented. For example, one might encounter phrases such as valeurs exprimées en pourcentage (values expressed as a percentage), mesures exprimées en mètres (measurements expressed in meters), or résultats exprimés en dollars (results expressed in dollars). The term helps readers understand that the figures have been converted, scaled, or formatted for comparison or interpretation.

Etymology and usage: exprimé derives from the verb exprimer, meaning to express or state. The form exprimés is widely used in French academic and technical prose, particularly when describing methods, datasets, or results. In everyday language, exprimés can also describe things that have been clearly stated or articulated, though its technical use is more common in data-centric writing.

Relationship to other terms: exprimés is not a standalone technical concept; its meaning depends on the noun it modifies. It can pair with units, currencies, scales, or linguistic configurations to specify the form of expression.

Limitations: because exprimés is context-dependent, readers must rely on surrounding text to determine precisely what has been expressed and in which form or unit. See also: exprimer, expression, pourcentage, unité, base, valeur.
