scorrette

Scorrette is the feminine plural form of the Italian adjective scorretto. It describes actions, statements, or behaviors that are improper, dishonest, or morally wrong. When attached to feminine nouns, scorrette signals that the conduct falls short of accepted ethical or normative standards; for purely factual errors, other terms are often used.

Common collocations include azioni scorrette, abitudini scorrette, and pratiche scorrette. For example, azioni scorrette have eroded public trust, and abitudini scorrette can undermine a team's integrity. The term can be applied to discussions of ethics, governance, or everyday behavior, and it typically carries a critical or condemnatory tone.

Usage notes and synonyms: scorrette is primarily evaluative, indicating misconduct or unethical behavior rather than mere inaccuracy. In contexts focusing on factual error, words like errato or inesatto may be preferred. Related concepts include scorrette conduct, comportamenti scorretto (singular masculine form), and altre espressioni che denotano immoral or improper conduct.
