riportate

Riportate is the feminine plural form of the past participle riportato of the Italian verb riportare. It is primarily used as an adjective agreeing with feminine plural nouns to mean “reported,” “stated,” or “mentioned.” It can also be the second-person plural present indicative form of riportare (voi riportate), meaning “you all report” or “you all bring back.”

As a past participle, riportate appears in compound tenses with avere or essere and functions as a passive-like descriptor in noun phrases. Common usage includes phrases such as le cifre riportate nel rapporto (the figures reported in the report) or le notizie riportate dal quotidiano (the news reported by the newspaper). In journalism and formal writing, the construction come riportato is often used to introduce cited information, meaning “as reported.”

Morphology and related forms: the other gender-number forms of the participle are riportato (m. sing.), riportata (f. sing.), and riportati (m. pl.). The word is derived from ri- plusportare, with the sense of bringing back or recounting information.

Notes on usage: riportate serves to attribute or summarize information to a source, aligning with Italian norms for attributive adjectives and formal reporting language. It should not be confused with riportare in the sense of physically bringing back; in that case, the participle agrees with the subject of the verb rather than acting as a modifier.
