Usage Note

Pagado is the past participle of pagar used as an adjective. Vacaciones pagadas are paid holidays. The reflexive idiom estar pagado de sí mismo means to be full of oneself or self-satisfied — a useful colloquial phrase that learners rarely encounter in textbooks. Context clearly separates the financial sense from the vanity sense.

Examples

"Tomé unos días de vacaciones pagadas."

Natural Translation

I took some paid days off.
