nominati

Nominati is an Italian term that functions primarily as the plural form of the past participle nominato of nominare. In everyday use it refers to people who have been proposed or selected for a position, award, or office. As a noun, it is typically used with a definite article to denote a particular set of candidates, for example “i nominati” (the nominees). The feminine plural form is nominate or nominate? The correct feminine plural is "nominate" in standard Italian, used when the group consists only of women.

Etymology and grammar: nominati derives from nominare, meaning to nominate or name. When used as an adjective, nominati agrees with a masculine plural noun (i nominati) or with a mixed-gender group. For a feminine plural subject, the form “nominate” is used. The term is common in formal or media contexts to identify people under consideration for a role, award, or election.

Usage and context: Nominati appears in news reports, official documents, and cultural discourse to label individuals who have been put forward. It is frequently encountered in discussions of awards (for example, “i nominati agli Oscar”) as well as in political or organizational appointment processes. The word is neutral and does not imply completion of the nomination process; it only indicates that the individuals have been nominated.

See also: nominazione (nomination), nominare (to nominate), nominato (nominated). In Italian, the concept overlaps with similar terms in other languages that describe the pool of candidates for selection.

Notes: While primarily an Italian term, nominati may appear in multilingual contexts where Italian usage intersects with journalism, law, or governance.
