incompletas

Incompletas is the feminine plural form of the Spanish adjective incompleta, meaning incomplete. It is used to describe feminine nouns that are not finished, partial, or lacking elements. In everyday Spanish, it commonly appears before the noun it modifies or after a linking verb, as in las tareas incompletas or las obras incompletas.

Etymology and form: The word derives from incompleto, with the feminine form incompleta and the plural ending -as to yield incompletas. Like other adjectives in Spanish, its form changes to match the gender and number of the noun it describes: masculine singular incompleto, feminine singular incompleta, masculine plural incompletos, feminine plural incompletas.

Usage notes: In practice, incompletas can refer to a broad range of incomplete items, such as tasks, projects, documents, or descriptions. Examples include Las tareas incompletas requieren revisión, or Las piezas incompletas impiden completar el ensamblaje. When used as a noun phrase, it may appear as Las incompletas to denote incomplete items in a given context, though more common is to retain adjectives with a noun (las incompletas) rather than treating incompletas as a standalone noun.

See also: incompleto, incompletitud, completitud. In English-language contexts, equivalents include incomplete or partial, which share the same semantic range though not the same grammatical use in Spanish grammar.
