invadida

Invadida is the feminine singular past participle of the verb invadir in Spanish and Portuguese. It functions primarily as an adjective or as part of a passive voice construction to indicate that something has been invaded. In both languages, invadida agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies, and is used in contexts ranging from physical occupation to metaphorical domination.

Etymology and grammar: The form derives from Latin invādere, from in- 'into' and vadere 'to go.' In Spanish and Portuguese, invadida appears with feminine nouns (for example, la ciudad fue invadida / a cidade foi invadida) and contrasts with invadido, the masculine form. It is not typically used as a stand-alone noun but as a participial adjective within passive constructions.

Usage and examples: Invadida commonly describes a territory, building, or space that has been militarily or politically occupied. It can also be used metaphorically to express being overwhelmed or overwhelmed by something, as in being invaded by doubts or emotions. Examples include: Spanish: “La ciudad fue invadida por fuerzas extranjeras.” Portuguese: “A cidade foi invadida por forças estrangeiras.”
