correctos

Correctos is the masculine plural form of the Spanish adjective correcto, meaning "correct" or "right." In standard grammar, correcto agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number (for example, objetos correctos, respuestas correctas). As a standalone noun phrase, los correctos can function to mean "the correct ones" or "the correct answers" when the context clearly identifies what is being referred to, though it is common to specify meaning more explicitly with phrases like las respuestas correctas or los elementos correctos.

In everyday usage, correcto and correctos appear in both written and spoken Spanish to describe accuracy, suitability, or propriety. The term may appear in instructional or evaluative contexts, such as exams or quizzes, to indicate items that are accurate or meet the stated criteria. However, typical formulations for educational content prefer explicit nouns paired with the adjective, such as las respuestas correctas, rather than relying solely on the noun phrase los correctos.

Etymologically, correcto derives from Latin correctus, meaning "set upright" or "made right," and entered Spanish via medieval and early modern usage. The form correcto is widely used across Spanish-speaking regions, with minor regional preferences in style or cadence rather than in meaning.

There is no widely recognized standalone subject or entity known simply as "Correctos" in major reference works. When encountered, it is usually a grammatical form or a generic descriptor rather than a distinct proper noun.
