generati

Generati is a linguistic form found in Italian and Latin, used as an adjective, a past participle, and occasionally as a proper name. In Italian, generati is the masculine plural form of the adjective generato, meaning generated or produced. Italian adjectives and past participles agree with the gender and number of the noun they modify, so the feminine plural would be generate. In practice, generati is commonly seen in phrases such as dati generati (generated data) or elementi generati.

In Latin, generati is the masculine plural nominative of the participle generatus, meaning begotten or produced. It appears in classical inscriptions and texts to describe persons or things that have been generated or produced by a source, often as a descriptive epithet.

Outside of grammar, generati may appear as a surname or as part of historical or fictional names in Italian-language contexts, though it is not a widely used term in English. In modern usage, the word is typically encountered within Italian phrases or as part of proper names, rather than as a standalone English concept.

The term thus sits at the intersection of grammar and onomastics, with its meaning and function dependent on language and context. See also Italian grammar, Latin participles, generare, and generatus for related linguistic forms.
