réparées

The term "réparées" is the feminine plural past participle of the French verb "réparer," which translates to "to repair" or "to fix" in English. As a past participle, it can function as an adjective or be used in compound verb tenses. When used as an adjective, "réparées" describes something that has been repaired or restored. For example, "les voitures réparées" would mean "the repaired cars."

In its grammatical function as part of a compound tense, "réparées" is used with the auxiliary verb "avoir" or "être" to form past tenses like the passé composé. For instance, "Elle a réparées ses chaussures" (She has repaired her shoes) or "Les fenêtres ont été réparées" (The windows were repaired). The agreement of "réparées" with the preceding direct object when "avoir" is used, or with the subject when "être" is used, is a key aspect of its usage in French grammar.

The concept of "réparées" implies a process of mending or making something whole again after damage, wear, or malfunction. This can apply to a wide range of objects and situations, from physical items like clothing and furniture to more abstract concepts, though the literal meaning of repair is most common. The term's neutrality stems from its purely descriptive and grammatical role, indicating a state of being fixed.
