nomeada
"Nomeada" means "nomination" or "appointment" in English.
In this sentence, 'nomeada' is used in the context of being selected or proposed for an award or position—acting as the past participle of 'nomear' in a passive construction.
Ela foi nomeada para o prêmio de melhor atriz.
She was nominated for the best actress award.
Here, 'nomeada' refers to a group or entity that has been officially designated for a specific task, showing the adjective usage derived from the past participle.

In this example, 'nomeada' again serves as the past participle of 'nomear,' describing the action of assigning someone to a particular role or responsibility.
