repetidas

Repetidas is the feminine plural form of the Spanish adjective and past participle repetido, used to describe something that occurs again or is repeated. It agrees in gender and number with feminine plural nouns, and can function as a descriptor in various contexts.

In everyday language, repetidas modifies nouns to indicate recurrence. Examples include palabras repetidas (repeated words), entregas repetidas (repeated deliveries), and ocasiones repetidas (repeated occasions). When the corresponding noun is masculine, the form changes to repetidos, as in patrones repetidos or eventos repetidos. There is also the common expression repetidas veces, meaning “many times” or “repeatedly,” where repetidas accompanies the feminine noun veces.

In literature and rhetoric, repetidas is often used to describe recurring motifs, phrases, or structural elements within a text. It helps convey emphasis, rhythm, or thematic continuity by highlighting patterns that recur across passages or scenes. The concept is closely related to the noun repetición, which designates the act of repeating itself.

Etymology traces repetidas to the verb repetir, from Latin repetere. The word is standard in Spanish grammar and is not a separate concept or entity; it is simply a grammatical form used to agree with feminine plural nouns. In written language, its precise meaning depends on the noun it accompanies and the surrounding context.
