sugerida

Sugerida is the feminine singular past participle form of the verb sugerir in Spanish and Portuguese, where it functions as an adjective meaning proposed or recommended. It agrees with the noun it modifies, as in la solución sugerida (the suggested solution) or a sugestão sugerida in Portuguese.

Etymology and use: the term derives from the verb sugerir, itself from Latin sugerere, meaning to bring under or to propose. In both languages, the participle sugerida is used to describe something that has been proposed, recommended, or put forward for consideration. It can appear as part of compound tenses or in passive constructions, with the participle agreeing in gender and number with the noun.

Spanish usage: in Spanish, sugerida commonly precedes or follows the noun it modifies. Examples include “la opción sugerida fue aceptada” or “la propuesta sugerida.” It functions as an ordinary adjective and can be used in phrases indicating recommendations, plans, or ideas that have been proposed.

Portuguese usage: in Portuguese, sugerida works similarly to describe items that were proposed or recommended, such as “a solução sugerida” or “as sugestões sugeridas.” It also agrees in gender and number with the noun, and can appear in passive or perfect constructions like “a solução sugerida tem sido adotada” or “a solução foi sugerida.”
