modellate

Modellate is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb modellare, meaning to model or to shape. It can also function as the voi imperative form, used to issue a command to multiple people to model or shape something. The verb modellare derives from the noun modello (model) and expresses the action of creating or refining a model, whether physical, visual, or conceptual.

In usage, modellare covers a wide range of contexts. It is common in art and sculpture, industrial design and manufacturing, and fashion, as well as in data and software modeling. In computing and graphics, modellare refers to creating a digital or virtual model of an object or character. For example, the present tense form “modellate” would correspond to “you all model” (voi) in a sentence like “Modellate i pezzi per verificarne l’adattamento.” As an imperative, it can appear as a command such as “Modellate!” directed at a team to begin modeling.

Grammatically, modellate agrees with the subject voi. The noun form related to this verb is modello (model), with plural modelli. Although primarily a linguistic item, modellate occasionally appears in educational or instructional contexts to illustrate Italian verb conjugation and usage of the verb modellare.
