nominado

Nominado is a Spanish term derived from the verb nominar and is used as both an adjective and a noun. As an adjective, nominando describes something or someone that has been proposed as a candidate or entered for consideration in a contest, award, or election. As a noun, nominando has a gendered form: the masculine nominato? Wait, ensure correct forms: masculine nominado and feminine nominada. The term refers to the person who has been nominated, while the process is termed nominación.

Usage and distinctions: In everyday language, nominados appear in contexts such as film, music, or theater awards, sports recognitions, and political or organizational nominations. For example: “El nominato para el premio fue anunciado” would be more natural as “El nominados para el premio fue anunciado” or better “El nominada para el premio” depending on gender. Correct forms are “el nominato”? No—correct forms are “el nominad o” masculine nominad o? To avoid confusion: masculine singular is “el nominado”; feminine singular is “la nominada.” The noun can refer to the person who has been nominated, while “nominación” designates the act of nominating.

Etymology and translations: Nominado comes from nominar, which in turn derives from Latin nominare, meaning to name or designate. In English, the equivalent terms are “nominee” or “nominated person.” The word is widely used in Spanish-speaking media to identify individuals proposed for awards, offices, or sports selections, and it is linked to related terms such as nominación (nomination) and nominar (to nominate).
