incastrano

Incascano is the third person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb incastrare. The verb has several related meanings that depend on context, including both literal and figurative uses.

In its most common sense, incastrare means to trap, catch, or set someone up, typically by using evidence, circumstances, or a clever ruse. In this sense, incastrano describes actions by investigators, opponents, or anyone who manages to compel someone into a difficult or compromising position. For example, they might say, “La polizia incastra i sospetti” or “Gli elementi raccolti hanno incastrato l’imputato.” The term can also indicate causing someone to be falsely implicated or to reveal a confession indirectly through pressure or exposure of inconsistencies.

A figurative or everyday use refers to “framing” someone in a social or moral sense, as in creating a situation where a person appears guilty of a fault or crime. It can also appear in expressions about catching someone in a lie or inconsistency: “hanno incastrato il testimone con una domanda scomoda.”

In a mechanical or literal sense, incastrare means to fit or interlock pieces so that they hold together. In this sense, incastrano can describe components that fit into one another or parts that interlock correctly.

Related forms include incastro (the interlock or notch), incastrare (to trap or interlock), and incastrato (trapped or interlocked). Incastrano is typically used in narrative, journalistic, or colloquial Italian to convey the action of catching, securing, or interlocking.
