verificadas

Verificadas is the feminine plural form of the past participle of verificar, used as an adjective meaning "verified" or "confirmed." In general Spanish it describes things that have undergone verification or authentication, such as fuentes verificadas (verified sources) or datos verificados (verified data). The feminine plural form agrees with feminine plural nouns like fuentes verificadas or cuentas verificadas. The term is common in journalism and research to denote information that has been confirmed by reliable evidence.

In digital contexts, cuentas verificadas refers to user accounts on social media or online platforms that have undergone identity authentication. This status is typically indicated by a badge or label and is intended to help users distinguish authentic accounts from impersonators. Criteria and procedures vary by platform and over time, including identity documents, corroborating information, or official affiliation. The concept has contributed to discussions about transparency, access, and platform policy.

Linguistic notes: Verificadas is the feminine plural form; the masculine plural would be verificados, and the noun can be verificación (verification) or verificado (verified person or thing). Usage depends on the gender and number of the noun it modifies.
