Obbedito is the past participle of the Italian verb obbedire, meaning to obey. It is used to form compound tenses with the auxiliary avere, as in ho obbedito agli ordini (I obeyed the orders).

In terms of form, obbedito has standard gender and number variants: obbedito (masculine singular), obbedita (feminine singular), obbediti (masculine plural), and obbedite (feminine plural). Like other Italian participles, its agreement can be influenced by surrounding direct objects in compound tenses, though in everyday usage the base form obbedito is commonly used with avere.
