Relazionate

Relazionate is a grammatical form in Italian. It is the feminine plural past participle of the verb relazionare, which means to relate, connect, or correlate. As a participial form it can function as part of a passive construction or, less commonly, as an adjective describing feminine plural nouns.

Morphology and formation: Relazionare is built from relazione (relation) plus the -are verb ending. The full participle paradigm includes relazionato (masc. sing.), relazionata (fem. sing.), relazionati (masc. pl.), and relazionate (fem. pl.). The form relazionate is used when the subject or the noun it modifies is feminine and plural.

Grammatical usage: When used in compound tenses with the auxiliary essere, relazionate agrees in gender and number with the subject: Le informazioni relazionate sono state verificate. In the perfect with avere, agreement depends on whether a preceding direct object influences the participle. In practice, relazionate appears mainly in written, formal, or technical Italian, particularly in contexts involving relations, correlations, or related items.

Contexts and notes: Relazionate is not commonly used as a standalone noun or widely used term outside grammatical or technical writing. In everyday Italian, speakers may prefer synonyms such as correlate or collegato to express relatedness. As a participle, however, relazionate remains a valid and productive form for describing items that have been related or associated in a feminine plural sense.
