recibidas

Recibidas is the feminine plural form of the past participle of the Spanish verb recibir, meaning “received.” In Spanish, participles used as adjectives agree in gender and number with the nouns they describe, so recibidas modifies feminine plural nouns such as facturas recibidas (received invoices), solicitudes recibidas (received applications), or cartas recibidas (received letters).

Grammatical usage: Recibidas functions as an adjective indicating that something has already been received. It can appear with articles or determiners and typically follows the noun it describes, as in las facturas recibidas or las solicitudes recibidas. It also occurs in fixed phrases within administrative or organizational contexts to mark status, for example, "documentos recibidas" when the noun is feminine plural, though more common is "documentos recibidos" with masculine or mixed gender nouns.

Contexts and examples: Recibidas is frequently used in business, education, and government paperwork to distinguish items that have been obtained or acknowledged from those still pending. Examples include: las facturas recibidas para pago; las inscripciones recibidas para el curso; las pruebas recibidas por la comisión. In such contexts, the feminine plural form aligns with feminine plural head nouns, reinforcing the completed reception status.

Relation to other forms: The masculine counterpart is recibidos (e.g., documentos recibidos). The irregularity does not extend beyond gender agreement; orthography remains consistent across contexts. Recibidas should not be confused with the noun recibo (receipt); the latter is a distinct word, and recibos is its plural. See also recibos and recibimiento for related terms.
