Riscontrate

Riscontrate is the feminine plural past participle of the Italian verb riscontrare, used as an adjective or in compound tenses to indicate that something has been found, detected, or verified following examination or observation.

As a grammatical form, riscontrate agrees with feminine plural nouns. It commonly appears in phrases such as irregolarità riscontrate or discrepanze riscontrate. In sentences with the auxiliary essere, the participle agrees in gender and number: ad esempio, Le anomalie sono state riscontrate.

In Italian, riscontrare means to find out or to verify the existence of something through review, inspection, or comparison. Riscontrate items are typically the results or findings of audits, investigations, or analyses. The term is used in administrative, legal, journalistic, and scientific contexts, where it conveys a formal confirmation of observed facts rather than a subjective judgment.

Usage nuances include a neutral or formal tone; riscontrare is often preferred over less precise verbs when a verified finding is reported. It can be contrasted with verifications or attestations (verifica, constatazione), though all convey the sense of established observation rather than mere suspicion.

Etymology is based on the verb riscontrare, which denotes discovering or identifying something by checking or examining. The related noun riscontro refers to the act or result of such finding, while riscontrate functions as the descriptive form describing the discovered items.
