finalizzate

Finalizzate is a form of the Italian verb finalizzare. It can function both as a participle (a non-finite form) and as a finite verb form, depending on context. As a past participle, the feminine plural form finalizzate agrees with feminine plural nouns or adjectives and is used in compound tenses with the auxiliary essere, for example: Le attività sono state finalizzate al progetto. It can also appear predicatively or attributively, as in proposte finalizzate, meaning proposals that have been finalized or targeted to a goal.

As a finite verb form, finalizzate is the second-person plural present indicative of finalizzare, so it corresponds to “you finalize” or “you are finalizing.” For example: Voi finalizzate i vostri piani entro venerdì. In this sense it is used to describe an action carried out by “you all” in the present.

Usage notes and nuance: finalizzare broadly means to finalize, to direct an effort or resources toward a specific objective, or to complete a task so that it serves a defined purpose. The participle finalizzate is commonly employed in administrative, legal, and project-management language to indicate that activities, proposals, or plans have been oriented toward a goal or brought to completion. The noun forms related to this verb include finalità (aim or objective) and finale (end or conclusion), which share the same root.

Etymology: finalizzare comes from the Italian noun finale (end) combined with the productive verb-forming suffix -izzare, itself ultimately linked to the Latin root meaning end or boundary.
