scorretti

Scorretti is the plural masculine form of the Italian adjective scorretto, meaning not correct, improper, or deceitful. It is used to describe things that fail to meet standards of accuracy, fairness, or ethics, including facts, statements, actions, or conduct.

In everyday and formal Italian, scorretto can describe a range of inadequacies from factual inaccuracy to unethical behavior. Common collocations include comportamenti scorretti (improper or unethical behaviors) and giudizi scorretti (incorrect judgments). The form of the adjective agrees with the noun it modifies, so feminine or plural nouns use corresponding feminine or plural forms, such as pratiche scorrette (improper practices) or giudizi scorretti (incorrect judgments).

The term appears across journalism, law, education, and public discourse, often in evaluative or critical contexts. It can carry a disciplinary or normative connotation, signaling that something violates rules, norms, or honest standards, rather than merely being technically wrong.

Scorretti is also an Italian surname. As a family name, it may be found in Italian-speaking regions and among people of Italian descent. Like many adjectives used as surnames, it has no inherent meaning beyond its origin as a descriptor of prior characteristics or occupations, but its use as a name is established in contemporary contexts.
