Usage Note

Nacido is the past participle of nacer used as an adjective meaning 'born.' It often appears in set phrases: recién nacido ('newborn'), bien nacido ('well-born/noble'). As an adjective it agrees in gender and number: nacida, nacidos, nacidas. Do not confuse with nativo ('native'), which stresses cultural origin rather than birth itself.
