installate

Installate is the feminine plural past participle of the Italian verb installare, meaning that something has been installed or set up. It also functions as an adjective describing feminine plural nouns, as in le finestre installate or le parti installate.

In Italian, past participles of regular -are verbs like installare agree in gender and number with the noun they modify or with the subject in certain tenses. Therefore, installate accompanies feminine plural nouns, while installati is used with masculine plural nouns. For example: Le finestre installate funzionano bene (the installed windows work well) and I dispositivi installati devono essere testati (the installed devices must be tested).

Usage notes: installate commonly appears in sentences describing completed actions or the current state of components, especially in technical, construction, or IT contexts. In everyday language, the process or result of installing is often referred to by the noun installation (installazione) rather than the participle form. The corresponding masculine form installato is used with masculine singular nouns, such as il software installato.

Beyond its grammatical function, installate is not widely used as a standalone term in English-language or international contexts and is not typically a proper noun or brand name. It is primarily encountered as a grammatical form within Italian sentences describing objects that have been or are being installed. See also: installare, participi passati in italiano, installazione.
