Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 'logrado' and 'exitoso'?

'Exitoso' (successful) is a general adjective for achieving success. 'Logrado' also means successful, but often carries the specific connotation of being well-executed, high-quality, or expertly finished, especially when referring to a product, design, or piece of art.

Does 'logrado' change when used in compound tenses?

No. When 'logrado' is combined with the verb *haber* (like in 'he logrado' or 'había logrado'), it acts as a fixed past participle and never changes its ending. It only changes when it is used alone as a descriptive adjective (e.g., 'la obra lograda').
