The word "decididas"

The word "decididas"

What form/conjugation is "decididas"? I understand it's meaning, and as well I know it comes from the root verb "decidir". It even translates through the machine. However, looking in the conjugations area, I don't see it. Anyone think they can shed some light on this one?

(Almost forgot some context to work with. tongue wink)

EX: "Decididas a bajar el estres y la tensión."

It's an adjective, feminine & plural - decidida - determined.

Interesting, so then decididas would be plural as in, "mujeres decididas" meaning "determined women"? - DJ_Huero, Mar 14, 2011
I guess so! - Gocika, Mar 14, 2011

"Decididas a bajar el estres y la tensión."

Makes perfect sense to me....determined to ....the women is implicit, as a slogan the subject is not needed.

Decididas a bajar el estres y la tensión.

This sentence doesn't make sense to me since it seems to be using an adjective as a verb. Is their an implicit estar?

Están decididas a bajar. . .
They are determined to lower. . .

"Mujeres en el club decididas a bajar el estrés y la tensión" (googled) - Gocika, Mar 14, 2011
No, however, right before that it says, "mujeres en el club, decididas a bajar el estres y la tensión." I was thinking along that thought process, but it makes sense now, the adjective is complimenting the first phrase. - DJ_Huero, Mar 14, 2011
Having a noun phrase allows it to function as an adjective, but starting sentence that has no subject with an adjective still doesn't make sense to me. - lorenzo9, Mar 14, 2011
Lol... it does seem to be an intentional trickster. ;-P - DJ_Huero, Mar 14, 2011
