cultivata

Cultivata is not a standard Italian lemma. In Italian, the verb for “to cultivate” is coltivare, and the feminine singular past participle is coltivata. The form cultivata does not appear in standard Italian grammar and would typically be considered a misspelling or a result of influence from other Romance languages that use a different ending, such as Portuguese cultivada or Spanish cultivada.

Because cultivata is not part of the canonical Italian vocabulary, its use in texts is limited to nonstandard contexts. When describing cultivated things in Italian, the correct adjectives are formed from coltivare: coltivato (masc. sing.), coltivata (fem. sing.), coltivati (masc. plur.), coltivate (fem. plur.). For example, la terra coltivata means “the cultivated land,” and una pianta coltivata means “a cultivated plant.”

In multilingual or translational contexts, cultivata can appear as a brand name, a title, or a stylistic choice. It may also emerge from typographical errors or direct loan from languages where the form with -vada/-vida endings is standard.
