rigettati

Rigettati is the plural form of the past participle rigettato of the Italian verb rigettare, meaning to reject, throw back, or discard. Used as an adjective or a noun, it denotes things, proposals, documents, or people that have been rejected or dismissed. The verb originates from Latin rejicere, meaning to throw back.

In legal, administrative, and general contexts, rigettare is used for denials or dismissals of requests, applications, or hypotheses. For example, la domanda è stata rigettata means the application was denied. As a noun phrase, i rigettati can refer to people or items that failed a procedure, though depending on tone and context alternatives such as esclusi or rifiutati may be preferred.

Grammatical notes: rigettati agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies; singular masculine is rigettato, singular feminine riggettata, plural masculine rigettati, plural feminine rigettate. In compound tenses with avere, the participle is generally invariable unless the direct object precedes the verb; when used with essere or as an adjective, it agrees with the subject.

Examples: I documenti rigettati dal comitato non sono disponibili per la consultazione. I candidati rigettati dal concorso hanno presentato ricorso.
