interpretati

Interpretati is the masculine plural past participle form of the Italian verb interpretare, meaning to interpret. In Italian grammar, past participles used as adjectives or in compound tenses agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify. Thus interpretati denotes “interpreted” when applied to masculine plural nouns, as in “dati interpretati” (interpreted data) or “documenti interpretati” (interpreted documents). In passive-voice constructions, the form appears as part of perfect tenses: “i testi sono stati interpretati” (the texts have been interpreted). The feminine plural form is interpretate, and the masculine singular form is interpretato, the feminine singular interpretata. The term is mainly a grammatical form rather than a standalone term; it does not denote a separate concept in itself, though it appears frequently in technical Italian to describe results, texts, or data that have been subject to interpretation.

In usage, interpretati appears widely in fields such as literary criticism, linguistics, archaeology, and data analysis
