'Initiated' is the much more common past participle used as an adjective, while 'initiate' as an adjective is rarer and more formal/literary.
使い方のコツ
When used as an adjective, 'initiate' is pronounced with a short 'uh' sound at the end (/ɪˈnɪʃiət/), unlike the verb which ends in 'ate' (/ɪˈnɪʃieɪt/). It is most frequently used in formal or academic contexts to describe people who have been 'let into' a secret.
よくある間違い
Learners often use the verb pronunciation (/ɪˈnɪʃieɪt/) for all forms. They also often use 'initiate' where 'initial' or 'beginning' would be more natural for general starters.
