chiarito

Chiarito is the past participle of the Italian verb chiarire, meaning to clarify or to make clear. It is also used as an adjective meaning clarified or explained. The form is built from the base chiaro (clear) with the standard participle suffix -ito, and it agrees in gender and number when used attributively or in certain tenses.

In grammar, chiarito can function in two main ways. When used with the auxiliary avere, it forms transitive or completed actions: ho chiarito una questione (I clarified a matter). When used with the auxiliary essere, it appears in passive or experiential constructions and agrees with the subject: la questione è stata chiarita (the issue has been clarified). As an adjective, chiarito describes something that has been made clear: un punto chiarito, una questione chiarita, i punti chiariti.

Forms and agreement follow standard Italian rules. Masculine singular: chiarito; feminine singular: chiarita; masculine plural: chiariti; feminine plural: chiarite. These forms may modify nouns directly or appear in compound verb phrases, with agreement reflecting the noun they describe or the subject in passive constructions.

Chiarito is commonly used in formal, academic, or media Italian to indicate that an ambiguity, explanation, or detail has been resolved. It should be distinguished from similar forms such as chiarire (the infinitive) and chiarimento (the noun form meaning clarification). See also chiaro and chiarire for related terms.
