preparado, adjective
ready, prepared

Preparado is a word you can use instead of listo to describe someone or something that’s ready:

Everything’s ready for the last night of 2007.

Me dio muchos consejos sobre cómo estar preparado mentalmente para el campeonato.

You also use it when talking about food:

The food’s ready to serve.

In a rather different meaning, preparado refers to how well educated or qualified somebody is:

Está muy bien preparado para este trabajo.
He’s very well qualified for this job.
