corretos

Corretos is the masculine plural form of the Portuguese adjective correto, meaning correct, true, or proper. It agrees with masculine or mixed-gender nouns in plural, as in os itens corretos or eles estão corretos. The feminine plural form is corretas, used with feminine nouns such as as respostas corretas. In general usage, corretos denotes accuracy, conformity with rules, or truthfulness.

In everyday language, corretos is employed to indicate that something is accurate or appropriate. Examples include statements like as informações estão corretas (the information is correct) and os procedimentos corretos devem ser seguidos (the correct procedures must be followed). In formal and technical contexts, the term helps distinguish valid data, correct calculations, and proper methods from mistakes, errors, or deviations.

Etymology and related forms: corretos derives from the Latin correctus, past participle of corrigere, meaning to straighten or set right. The term has cognates in many Romance languages and has influenced related words such as correção (correction), corretor (corrector or broker), and incorrecto or incorreto (the opposite of correto).
