Danneggiata

Danneggiata is the feminine singular form of the Italian adjective danneggiato, meaning "damaged" or "injured." It is used to describe a person, an object, or an abstract state that has suffered harm or deterioration. It can refer to physical damage, such as a "porta danneggiata" or "edificio danneggiato," as well as to non-physical harm, for example "danno all'immagine" or "reputazione danneggiata." The term can also describe the state of something in a figurative sense, like "mezzi di trasporto danneggiati" or "risorse danneggiate." The corresponding nouns are "danno" (damage) and the masculine/feminine variants.

In grammar, danneggiata agrees with the feminine singular noun it modifies. The masculine singular is danneggiato, the feminine plural danneggiate, the masculine plural danneggiati. The action of causing damage is expressed by the verb danneggiare; the past participle is "danneggiato/a" used as an adjective or in compound tenses.

In legal language, la parte danneggiata is the injured party entitled to redress for damages ("danni materiali, danno morale"). Common phrases include "danno patrimoniale" and "danno non patrimoniale." The term is widely used in insurance, construction, and tort law to indicate harm that requires compensation.
