seguidos

Seguidos is a term used in Spanish and Portuguese with related but distinct senses. It derives from the verb seguir (to follow) and corresponds to the participle seguido, with agreement in gender and number.

In Spanish, seguidos most commonly appears as a noun in social media and online contexts. Seguidos refers to the accounts a user follows on a platform—the counterpart of seguidores, which denotes the people who follow the user. For example, "tus seguidos" means "your followed accounts" or "the people you follow." Seguidos can also function as an adjective meaning "consecutive" or "in a row," used with time periods or events, such as "días seguidos" (consecutive days) or "horas seguidas" (hours in a row).

In Portuguese, seguidos is primarily used as an adjective meaning "consecutive" or "in a row," as in "dias seguidos." Its use to denote followers of a user is less common in standard Portuguese; speakers typically say "quem sigo" or "pessoas que sigo" for “those I follow.” When encountered in software interfaces or translations, regional conventions may vary.

Etymology: seguidos comes from seguir, through the participle seguido; the sense of following underpins both social and temporal usages.
