dettagliata

Dettagliata is the feminine singular form of the Italian adjective dettagliato. It describes something that contains many details or is presented with thorough precision. It is widely used in formal and technical contexts, and it typically precedes a feminine singular noun: una descrizione dettagliata, un’analisi dettagliata, una pianificazione dettagliata. The masculine form is dettagliato, and the plural forms are dettagliati (masculine) and dettagliate (feminine). The adverb corresponding to the adjective is dettagliatamente, meaning “in detail” or “in a detailed manner.”

Dettagliato and its inflected forms derive from dettaglio (detail) and the verb detagliare/dettagliare, through the common Italian pattern of forming adjectives from nouns with the -ato ending. Dettagliata is thus used when the noun it modifies is feminine and singular.

In use, dettagliata emphasizes completeness, precision, and specificity. It is common in descriptions, reports, instructions, and analyses in fields such as journalism, academia, engineering, and project management. The term can carry a neutral connotation or highlight thoroughness, depending on context. Related synonyms include minuziosa, accurata, approfondita, and esaustiva; opposite terms include generica or vaga.

Translations into English typically render it as "detailed" or "in detail." The word is a standard tool in Italian for signaling a careful, thorough treatment of a subject.
