lamentati

Lamentati is a term that may refer to linguistic forms rather than a specific widely-known subject. In Latin, lamentati is the nominative plural masculine form of the perfect passive participle lamentatus, used as an adjective or substantive meaning "the ones who lament" or "mourners." In older Latin textual usage, such participial nouns can designate a group of mourners or lamenters within a community or ceremony.

In Italian, lamentati is the masculine plural past participle of the verb lamentare or the reflexive lamentarsi. It appears in compound tenses with essere, as in "Si sono lamentati," meaning "they have complained." As an adjective, it agrees with masculine plural nouns to describe people who have expressed lament.

The term does not denote a widely recorded geographic location, organization, or major concept in standard encyclopedias. It is primarily encountered as a grammatical or linguistic form, rather than a standalone proper noun.

Etymology: from Latin lamentum "a lament" from which lamentare, lamentatus derive.
