ammessa

Ammessa is the feminine singular past participle of the Italian verb ammettere, used as an adjective meaning admitted or allowed. It agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies. The masculine form is ammesso, while the plural forms are ammessi (masculine) and ammesse (feminine).

Etymology and function: Ammessa comes from the Latin admittere through the Italian verb ammettere. As an adjective or past participle, it typically describes someone or something that has been granted admission, permission, or acceptance in a given context.

Usage in context: Ammessa is common in educational, administrative, and legal contexts to indicate that a person or item has been granted access or approval. Examples include: La studentessa è ammessa al corso. (The female student is admitted to the course.) Due studentesse sono ammesse all’esame. (Two female students are admitted to the exam.) La candidatura è ammessa al concorso. (The candidacy is admitted to the competition.) In predicates, it may appear with essere: Le candidate sono ammesse; or attributively: una persona ammessa al programma.

Related forms: The masculine singular is ammesso, the plural masculine is ammessi, and the plural feminine is ammesse. The noun form for the act of admission is ammissione, while ammettere is the verb from which these forms originate.

Notes: Ammessa is primarily used to describe eligibility or permission and should not be confused with synonyms like autorizzata (authorized) or ammessa in the sense of being allowed to participate, which may carry subtle nuance depending on context.
