réveillées

Réveillées is a French word that translates to "awakened" or "woken up" in English. It is the feminine plural past participle of the verb "réveiller," which means to wake someone up or to awaken something. The masculine plural form is "réveillés." This word can be used in a literal sense to describe people or animals who have been roused from sleep. For example, "Les enfants étaient réveillées tôt ce matin" translates to "The children were awakened early this morning." Beyond its literal meaning, "réveillées" can also be used figuratively to denote an awakening of consciousness, awareness, or a renewed sense of purpose. It can imply that something dormant or inactive has become active or has come to life. For instance, one might speak of an artist's "réveillées inspirations," meaning their revived or newly awakened creative ideas. The context in which the word is used is crucial for understanding its precise meaning, whether it refers to the simple act of waking up or a more profound metaphorical awakening.
