respondida

Respondida is the feminine singular past participle of the verb responder in Spanish and Portuguese. It functions as an adjective or part of a compound verb form, meaning “answered” or “responded,” and must agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies. The corresponding forms are respondido (masculine singular), respondidos (masculine plural), and respondidas (feminine plural).

In usage, respondida appears in both adjectival and passive constructions. In Spanish, examples include “La pregunta está respondida” (the question is answered) or “Las respuestas ya están respondidas.” It can also appear in perfect tenses with auxiliary haber when the direct object preceding the verb agrees in gender and number, as in “Las cartas han sido respondidas.” In Portuguese, similar patterns occur: “A pergunta está respondida” and “As perguntas respondidas já foram enviadas.” The participle can participate in passive voice constructions or serve as a descriptive attribute.

Forms by gender and number:

Spanish: respondido (m. sg), respondida (f. sg), respondidos (m. pl), respondidas (f. pl)

Portuguese: respondido (m. sg), respondida (f. sg), respondidos (m. pl), respondidas (f. pl)
