rotti

Rotti is a term that can refer to several unrelated things depending on context. In Italian, rotti is the masculine plural form of the past participle of rompere (to break). As an adjective, it agrees with a masculine plural noun and means broken or damaged. It is commonly found in phrases describing objects in a damaged state, such as pezzi rotti (broken pieces) or vetri rotti (broken glass). The feminine plural form is rotte, and the singular forms are rotto (masc) and rotta (fem).

Rotti is also a surname of Italian origin. As a family name, it appears among people of Italian heritage and in diaspora communities; spelling and pronunciation can vary by country and language.

In other contexts, rotti may occur as a proper noun or transliteration variant and is sometimes confused with roti, the Indian bread, which is a different word with its own meaning and usage.

There is no single, universal meaning for "rotti"; most uses are linguistic or onomastic rather than conceptual. The term is mainly encountered in Italian grammar and in discussions of surnames, with occasional appearances in transliteration across languages.
