subduzidas

Subduzidas is the feminine plural form of the past participle of the Portuguese verb subduzir. It functions as an adjective describing feminine plural nouns or as the passive participle in compound tenses and passive constructions. The form is derived from Latin subducere, through the development of subduzir in Portuguese.

Usage and meaning: Past participles in Portuguese agree in gender and number with the noun they modify, so subduzidas indicates that the affected nouns are feminine and plural. It conveys being brought under control, subdued, or subjugated, whether by force, authority, or circumstance. The term is common in historical, political, and descriptive writing, and can appear in figurative senses such as ideas or freedoms being restrained: for example, "as populações subduzidas pelo regime" or "ideias subduzidas pela censura." In grammar, subduzidas can appear in passive constructions or as part of tenses with auxiliary verbs, e.g., "foi subduzidas," "têm sido subduzidas," or "serão subduzidas."

Translations: In English, subduzidas is typically rendered as "subdued" or "subjugated," depending on context.

Examples:

- As comunidades subduzidas pelo conflito clamavam por ajuda.

- Muitos territórios subduzidos ao longo da história ficaram sob novo domínio por décadas.

Notes: Subduzidas is a standard grammatical form in Portuguese and does not denote a specific title or widely recognized proper noun unless used in a particular context.
