fundamentadas

Fundamentadas is the feminine plural of the adjective fundamentada and the past participle of fundamentar, used in Portuguese as well as in Spanish, to denote that something is well-founded, grounded, or based on evidence. It describes arguments, reasons, claims, or conclusions that have solid justification or support from data, logic, or sources.

In Portuguese, fundamentadas is used with feminine plural nouns, for example: razões fundamentadas, alegações fundamentadas, provas fundamentadas. In Spanish, similar usage occurs with feminine plural nouns such as razones fundamentadas, afirmaciones fundamentadas, pruebas fundamentadas. The term can also appear in its singular forms (fundamentada, fundamentado) to agree with the corresponding noun, and in masculine forms (fundamentado) when required by gender.

Grammatical notes: fundamentadas functions as a participial adjective derived from fundamentar. It agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies. It is commonly used in formal, academic, or legal writing to express that assertions are backed by evidence, analysis, or justification.

Common synonyms include basadas, sustentadas, justificadas. The choice among them depends on nuance: basadas emphasizes foundation or basis, sustentadas stresses support or backing, and justificadas focuses on justification.
