Insegnate

Insegnate is a form of the Italian verb insegnare. It has two primary uses: it is the second-person plural present tense form and the feminine plural past participle. It is not a standalone noun.

As a verb form, insegnate corresponds to "you teach" when addressing more than one person. Example: "Voi insegnate matematica agli studenti."

As a past participle, insegnate agrees with feminine plural nouns and is used in compound tenses or passive constructions. Examples: "Le lezioni sono state insegnate dal docente" and "Le lezioni insegnate dal docente hanno avuto successo."

Note: insegnate is not used as a noun. The standard noun for a teacher is insegnante (plural insegnanti).

Etymology: The verb insegnare comes from Latin insignare, meaning to mark or indicate, and is related to roots meaning sign or indicate.
