nig'al etc - see below
Masculine singular:
nig'al
נגאל
nun-gimel-alef-lamed
Feminine singular:
nig'ala
נגאלה
nun-gimel-alef-lamed-heh
Plural:
nig'alu
נגאלו
nun-gimel-alef-lamed-vav
Very important: these are verbs, not adjectives.
If you want an adjective ('He is [a] redeemed [person]', as against the verb in 'He/she/they was/were redeemed'), then, in the same order as above:
ga'ul
גאול
ge'ula
גאולה
ge'ulim (m. pl.)
גאולים
ge'ulot (f. pl.)
גאולות

Yes, "I am redeemed" = "ani ge'ula" would work very well for the first person feminine singular:
אני גאולה
nig'al
נגאל
nun-gimel-alef-lamed
Feminine singular:
nig'ala
נגאלה
nun-gimel-alef-lamed-heh

Note from asker:
| if i wanted to say "I am redeemed" . . . would I just use the feminine of the adjective form? |

נגאל
In the sense of "redeemed himself from evil/sin":
נגאל [nig'al], or
זכה לגאולה [zaha le'geu'la]. ["h" - as in the Scottish "loch".]

Of course, I referred to the passive, but the active is:
גאל [ga'al].

: I don't think you can state this so categorically without also saying that this ONLY applies to the masculine singular.

גאל/נגאל
The translation depends on the context and the grammer: גאל
means redemption only in Messiac terms; otherwise it means to be freed/released and it exists only in the passive
There is no such expression as "אני גאולה" apart from it being a girls' name. there are many other words which express "renewal"
