azzerate

Azzerate is the feminine plural past participle of the Italian verb azzerare, and also the second-person plural present indicative and imperative form in the second person plural. The verb azzerare means to bring something to zero or to reset it, effectively removing accumulated data, values, or measurements. In usage, azzerare is common across technical, financial, scientific, and everyday contexts, and it is often paired with nouns describing counters, balances, or statistics (for example, cifre azzerate or contatori azzerati).

Etymology and forms: azzerare is built from zero with the standard Italian verb ending -are. The spelling with double z follows Italian orthography to preserve the hard sound after the preceding vowel. The participle azzerato (masculine singular) and azzerata (feminine singular) form other gender-number agreements, while azzerate can appear as the feminine plural past participle or as the second-person plural verb form (voi azzerate) in present use.

Usage and examples: In computing and technology, one might encounter phrases like azzerare i contatori or azzerare la memoria. In finance, azzerare il saldo refers to resetting an account balance. In statistical reporting, cifre azzerate describes data that have been reset to zero. In Italian technical writing, azzeramento denotes the act of performing a zeroing operation.

See also: azzerare, azzeramento. Note that in English-language contexts, azzerate is usually translated as “zero out” or “reset to zero.”
