Notes
GENERAL INFO
Parlé is the past participle of "parler" (to speak). It means "spoken" or "talked." It functions as part of compound tenses and as an adjective.
USAGE
In the *passé composé*: *J'ai parlé* (I spoke/have spoken).
As an adjective: *La langue parlée* (the spoken language), agreeing in gender/number: *les mots parlés*.
TRAPS
With *avoir*, parlé rarely agrees, as "parler" is typically intransitive (*J'ai parlé à Pierre*).
However, as an adjective or with *être*, it must agree: *Elle est parlée*.
