partagée

Partagée is the feminine singular past participle of the French verb partager, meaning “to share.” It also functions as an adjective meaning “shared” or “distributed,” and it agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies (forms include partagée, partagées, partagé, partagés). The word derives from the verb partager, which is linked to the idea of a portion or division, reflected in its Latin roots related to pars.

Grammatical usage: With the auxiliary avoir, the past participle partagée agrees in gender and number with a preceding direct object. For example, Les idées qu’elle a partagées était utiles contains feminine plural agreement. If the direct object follows the verb, no agreement is shown: Elle a partagé les documents. As an adjective, it appears in phrases like un espace partagé or des fichiers partagés. In the passive voice, the form also appears as partagée: La publication a été partagée.

Context and usage: Partagée commonly describes resources or information intended for joint use or public access, such as une salle partagée, un fichier partagé, or des données partagées. In digital and social contexts, it denotes dissemination or circulation, as in une photo partagée ou du contenu partagé. The related noun partages refers to the act or result of sharing, and the phrase publiquement ou largement partagée is used to describe widely distributed content. Overall, partagée functions across grammar and everyday language to express collaboration, distribution, and accessibility.
