transmises

Transmises is the feminine plural form of the past participle of transmettre in French. It means “transmitted” or “sent” when agreeing with a feminine plural noun, for example in phrases like informations transmises or données transmises. The form can also appear in adjectival use, describing something that has been conveyed or forwarded.

Etymology and usage context: Transmettre comes from Old French transmettre, from Latin transmittere, with the sense of sending across. In modern French, transmises functions as a participle used either in compound tenses with the auxiliary avoir or as an adjective. When used with the auxiliary avoir, the participle may or may not agree with the direct object depending on position: j’ai transmis les données (no agreement because the object follows the verb), whereas les données que j’ai transmises (agreement with the preceding direct object “données”) uses transmises to match the feminine plural noun.

Grammar notes: As an agreement-based past participle, transmises must reflect gender and number of the noun it modifies. In spoken or informal writing, the participle can appear in two roles: as part of a verb phrase (transmettre au passé composé) or as an adjective describing documentation, messages, or signals that have been sent. It is typically used with feminine plural nouns such as informations transmises, données transmises, or communications transmises.

Examples: Les informations transmises par le protocole sont sécurisées. Les données transmises ont été vérifiées. Dans une phrase relative: les messages que j’ai transmises sont arrivés correctement (note the agreement with “messages” if the object precedes the participle is feminine plural).
