interessata

Interessata is the feminine singular past participle of the Italian verb interessare and functions as an adjective meaning “interested” or “concerned.” It describes a female subject who has interest in something or who is affected by a matter.

It agrees with the subject in gender and number, so the forms are interessata (feminine singular), interessate (feminine plural), and the masculine forms are interessato (masculine singular) and interessati (masculine plural). In everyday use, you will often hear phrases like sono interessata to participate or lei è interessata al progetto.

In legal or administrative language, the phrase la parte interessata (“the interested party”) denotes a person or entity with a stake or concern in a matter. This usage treats interessata as a descriptive noun phrase rather than a simple adjective.

Usage notes: interessare as a verb can mean to interest someone or to concern a matter (Questo tema interessa molti studenti). The related noun interesse denotes the concept of interest, stake, or concern.

Examples:

- Sono interessata a partecipare al progetto.

- Lei è interessata al nuovo corso.

- La parte interessata deve presentare la memoria.
