lembrada

Lembrada is a feminine noun in Portuguese derived from the verb lembrar, meaning to remember. It is used to refer to a memory, recollection, or something that serves as a reminder. In common use, lembrança is the more typical term for a memory or keepsake, while lembrada appears mainly in more literary, poetic, or regional contexts.

Linguistic usage

As a noun, lembrada denotes something remembered or evoke a remembrance. It can function in expressions that emphasize memory or emotional recall. In many everyday contexts, however, lembrança remains the standard word for a memory or memento. Lembrada can also appear as a past participle form of lembrar when describing a feminine noun, such as “uma memória lembrada,” though this construction is less common in contemporary everyday speech.
