costituiti

Costituiti is the masculine plural past participle of the Italian verb costituire (to constitute, to establish). In Italian it is commonly used as an adjective meaning "constituted" or "established," and it agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies. It is frequent in formal, legal, and administrative language to describe bodies, organizations, or groups that have been created or formed, often as a result of a founding act or decision. The corresponding feminine plural form is costituite, while the singular forms are costituito (masculine) and costituita (feminine).

Grammatical use and examples: as an adjective, costitutiti typically follows the noun, e.g., gruppi costituiti, organi costituiti. It can also appear in verbal constructions to express a state derived from an act of creation, especially in passive or quasi-passive phrases: sono stati costituiti, i gruppi costituiti dal nuovo regolamento. The participle agrees with the subject in number and gender: i comitati sono stati costituiti; le associazioni costituite.

Etymology and relation to related terms: costituiti derives from costituire, which comes from Latin constituere (to set up, to establish). It shares a semantic field with costituente (constituent) and costituzione (constitution), and it is contrasted with forms like costituito or costitutiva in other grammatical contexts.

See also: costituire, costituzione, costituente, costituito. In usage, choose costituiti for masculine plural nouns, costituite for feminine plural nouns, and the appropriate singular forms when describing a single entity.
