Usage Note

Atendido is the past participle of atender used adjectivally. It means someone has been attended to, served, or assisted — common in service and healthcare contexts (el paciente fue bien atendido, 'the patient was well looked after'). It should not be confused with entendido ('understood'); the two look similar but derive from different verbs.

Examples

"Los clientes se sintieron bien atendidos."
