Riportati

Riportati is the masculine plural form of the Italian past participle riportato, derived from riportare. In Italian, riportare means to report, to bring back, to refer, or to transfer information from one place to another. As a participle or adjective, riportati agrees with the nouns it describes; the feminine plural form is riportate, and the singular forms are riportato (masculine) and riportata (feminine).

Etymology and function

The verb riportare combines the prefix ri- (often implying return or repetition) with riportare (to report or to bring back). The word appears in various contexts where information, data, or items are being conveyed, cited, or carried forward.

Usage and contexts

In everyday writing, riportati is used to indicate information that has been cited or noted: "Come riportato nel rapporto, i dati indicano un incremento." In journalism and documentation, it frequently describes facts or figures that are stated in sources: "I fatti riportati dall’articolo sono stati verificati." In finance and accounting, the term occurs in expressions about balances or figures transferred to a subsequent period, such as "utili riportati a nuovo" or "valori riportati a bilancio," referring to items carried forward. In legal or administrative texts, it can describe points or provisions that have been cited or recorded: "i punti riportati nel verbale."

Limitations

Riportati is not a standalone concept or title; it is a grammatical form used across domains to indicate something that has been reported, cited, or carried forward. When used as a noun in common language, it generally appears in compound expressions rather than as an independent noun.
