numeradas

Numeradas is the feminine plural form of the past participle and adjective numerado, derived from the verb numerar in Spanish. It is used to describe items that have been assigned numbers and must agree in gender and number with a feminine plural noun. Common collocations include páginas numeradas (numbered pages), figuras numeradas (numbered figures), and secciones numeradas (numbered sections).

As an adjective, numeradas typically appears before or after the noun it modifies. When used in a passive sense, it can participate in verb constructions such as las páginas han sido numeradas or las páginas están numeradas. The form numeradas also aligns with feminine plural nouns in lists, diagrams, or documents requiring explicit labeling.

Etymology and related terms: numeradas comes from numerar, meaning to assign numbers, which shares a root with número (number) and numeración (numbering). Related adjectives include numerado (masculine singular), numerada (feminine singular), and numerados (masculine plural). The term is common in publishing, administration, and academic writing, where clear labeling and sequencing are important.

Usage notes: In Spanish, the masculine and feminine forms are used according to the noun they modify. For example, listas numeradas (numbered lists) uses the feminine plural numeradas to agree with listas. The concept is also extended to other feminine plural terms such as páginas numeradas, tablas numeradas, and capítulos numerados, depending on the context.
