recomendada

Recomendada is the feminine singular form of the past participle of the Spanish verb recomendar. It functions as an adjective meaning “recommended” and agrees with feminine nouns such as opción, película, lectura, or guía.

As an adjective, recomendada describes something that has been suggested or endorsed by someone. It is common in phrases like la opción recomendada, la película recomendada por la crítica, or la lectura recomendada. When used in different tenses, it appears in forms such as ha sido recomendada or fue recomendada, maintaining gender and number agreement with the noun it modifies.

In everyday usage, recomendada appears in consumer texts, reviews, and catalogs to designate items or choices that are endorsed or suggested. It also occurs in educational or library contexts to indicate readings or materials considered suitable or valuable. Examples include a lista de libros recomendados or la ruta recomendada por el guía.

Etymology and related forms: recomendar comes from the Latin commendare, and the participle form concords with the gender of the noun it modifies. The feminine form recomendada mirrors that agreement. In other Romance languages, a similar feminine form exists (for example, in Portuguese, recomendada is used with feminine nouns), illustrating cross-linguistic similarities in adjective formation from the same root verb.
