Enternecidas

[deborahj]

Could someone please tell me the meaning of "enternecidas", i cant seem to
find it in any of the dictionaries.

Thanks very much

My guess is that it's from enternecer, to move, touch, and is the past participle used adjectivally, with a feminine plural ending.

So they (feminine) were moved, touched (emotionally)

It is so much easier if you give a word in context, you know.

agree with perikles.
Las dos abuelas quedaron enternecidas al ver a su nieta cantar.
Both grandmas were deeply touched/moved seeing their granddaugther singing.

Although "enternecer" shows up.

It is always nice to know when someone actually looks up before asking.

Sometimes suffixes can puzzle us if we don't remember them. Deborah, try to remember -ado, -ido are past participles, so you can look for enternec-... (ar/er/ir, if you don't know the conjugation).

Welcome back, by the way.

Thanks very much everyone for answering my question. It now makes sense.
