reportada

Reportada is the feminine singular past participle of the Spanish verb reportar. It functions as an adjective meaning “that has been reported” or “documented” and occurs in passive constructions with ser or haber, as well as in noun-adjective sequences. Examples include una noticia reportada, una incidencia reportada, and las cifras reportadas.

Its form shows gender and number agreement: reportada (feminine singular), reportadas (feminine plural); masculine forms are reportado and reportados. It is commonly used in sentences like La incidencia fue reportada a las autoridades and Las cifras reportadas indican un aumento, where the participle adapts to the noun it describes or participates in a passive phrase.

Origin and related terms: reportada derives from the verb reportar, which comes from Latin reportare (re- ‘back’ + portare ‘to carry’). Related words include reportar, reporte, informe, and reportado. In different registers, synonymous expressions such as informado or documentado may be used to convey a similar idea, depending on context.

Usage notes: In journalism, law and administration, reportar and its participles frequently appear to denote information that has been officially recorded or communicated. The participle should agree with the noun it qualifies, and its choice (reportada vs. reportado) reflects the noun’s gender.
