imitadas

Imitadas is a feminine plural form used in Spanish and Portuguese as the past participle of the verb imitar, meaning “imitated” or “copied.” It is also used as an adjective agreeing with feminine plural nouns, for example “figuras imitadas” (imitated figures) or “sonidos imitados” (imitated sounds). The form derives from Latin imitatus.

In both languages, imitadas functions primarily as an adjective or as part of compound tenses with auxiliary verbs. It does not generally stand alone as a formal noun; when referring to imitations in neutral terms, the nouns imitación (Spanish) or imitação (Portuguese) are more common.

In literary or rhetorical contexts, “imitadas” may appear in phrases or titles to convey imitation, parody, or copy, but such usage is context-dependent rather than a standard label. The term can be encountered in discussions of art, music, or literature that involve imitation, copying, or stylistic pastiche. For instance, a painter may present a series of obras imitadas; a musical piece may imitate a folk melody and be described as melodías imitadas.
