Consegnati

Consegnati is the plural form of the Italian past participle consegnato, used both as an adjective and as a noun. As an adjective, consegnato agrees in gender and number with the noun it describes and denotes something or someone that has been handed over, delivered, or entrusted to another party. For example: “pacchi consegnati al destinatario” means packages delivered to the recipient. As a noun, the phrase “i consegnati” can refer to people or items that have been handed over or entrusted, depending on the context.

Etymology and sense

Consegna originates from the Latin consignare, meaning to entrust, deliver, or consign. In Italian, consegnare has retained this core sense, and consegnati (the masculine plural) functions to designate those who have undergone the act of delivery or entrusting. The feminine plural is consegnate, and the singular forms are consegnato (masc.) and consegnata (fem.).

Usage and contexts

Consegne are common in everyday language when describing the transfer of goods, documents, or responsibilities. In administrative or logistical contexts, one speaks of "beni consegnati" (goods delivered) or "documenti consegnati" (documents handed over). In legal or security contexts, the term can appear in phrases indicating surrender or handover to authorities, such as “consegnati alle autorità competenti.” The precise meaning—whether physical delivery, transfer of custody, or entrusted responsibility—depends on the surrounding text.

Note

Consegnati is a standard grammatical form in Italian and should not be mistaken for a proper noun unless used in a specific, named context.
