hablados

Hablados is the masculine plural past participle of the Spanish verb hablar, meaning to speak or to talk. In usage, it can function as part of the passive voice when paired with ser, or as an adjective describing things that have already been spoken or discussed. It also appears in neuter phrases such as lo hablado, meaning what has been spoken.

Grammatical notes: Participles like hablados agree in gender and number with the noun they modify when used adjectivally. For feminine nouns, the form is habladas; for masculine nouns, hablados; and lo hablado can be used as a noun phrase meaning “what has been spoken.” In the passive voice, the participle agrees with the grammatical subject: Los discursos fueron hablados (the speeches were spoken) or Las palabras fueron habladas (the words were spoken).

Usage context: Hablados tends to appear in formal or written contexts, especially when distinguishing between content that has been spoken and content that has not, or when indicating completed speech. It can be used to refer to topics, statements, or content that has already been discussed or stated.

Examples:

- Los temas ya hablados en la reunión no se pueden cambiar.

- Las palabras fueron habladas por el intérprete durante la sesión.

- Lo hablado en la conferencia dejó claras las posiciones de los participantes.
