payées

Payées is a French word that translates to "paid" in English. It is the past participle of the verb "payer," meaning "to pay." The word "payées" is specifically the feminine plural form.

In French grammar, adjectives and past participles agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Therefore, "payées" would be used when referring to feminine plural nouns that have been paid. For example, "les factures payées" means "the paid invoices." If the nouns were masculine plural, the form would be "payés." If it were a singular feminine noun, it would be "payée," and for a singular masculine noun, it would be "payé."

The concept of "payées" is fundamental in financial transactions and accounting. It signifies the completion of an obligation to render payment for goods, services, or debts. The status of an invoice or bill as "payées" indicates that the transaction is settled from the perspective of the payee. This term is commonly encountered in business contexts, personal finance, and administrative documents.
