informées

Informées is the feminine plural form of the past participle informé, used in French as an adjective or in compound verb forms. It agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies, indicating that the subject has received information or is aware of something. For example, elles sont informées (they have been informed), des femmes informées (informed women).

Grammatical notes: Informées corresponds to the masculine forms informé (singular), informés (masculine plural), and the feminine singular informée. As a past participle, informée can be used in tense constructions such as être informé/informée, or in other perfect tenses formed with avoir or être, always agreeing with the subject or direct object when required.

Usage: The term is common in everyday French to describe people who have received information about a matter. Typical phrases include des personnes informées, des citoyennes informées, or des membres informés des risques. In some stylistic contexts, informées may be used as a shorthand nominal phrase equivalent to “the informed ones,” though more explicit wording (par exemple, les personnes informées) is often preferred in formal writing.

Nuances: The word signals that information has been conveyed and acknowledged. It does not by itself guarantee depth of understanding or accuracy. In writing, informées is frequently paired with qualifiers such as bien, suffisamment, or engagées to convey broader implications (well-informed, sufficiently informed, engaged).

Translations: In English, informées translates to “informed” (feminine plural) or, in a thematic context, “the informed ones.”
