Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use 'realizado' for 'I realized the truth'?
No. In Spanish, to 'realize' something in your head, you use 'darse cuenta'. 'Realizado' only refers to things that are physically done or to a sense of personal fulfillment.
Does 'realizado' always end in -o?
No. Because it acts like an adjective, it changes to 'realizada' for feminine words and 'realizados/as' for plurals.
