Usage Note
Cultivado functions both in its literal agricultural sense (tierra cultivada — cultivated land) and figuratively to mean a well-read, refined person. The figurative sense overlaps with culto (cultured), though cultivado implies active self-development. The feminine form is cultivada.
Examples
