segnalate

Segnalate is an Italian term with multiple grammatical uses related to the verb segnalare, meaning to signal, report, or notify. As a form, it can function in different ways depending on context and agreement.

As a participle and adjective, segnalate is the feminine plural past participle of segnalare. It is used to describe nouns that have been reported or flagged. When used this way, it agrees in gender and number with the noun: for example, le irregolarità segnalate (the reported irregularities), le anomalie segnalate (the flagged anomalies). In compound tenses with the auxiliary avere, the participle can also agree with a preceding direct object, producing forms like le anomalie segnalate dagli utenti (the anomalies reported by users).

As a verb form, segnalate is the second person plural present indicative of segnalare, meaning you (plural) signal or report. It is also the imperative form for voi, used to issue an instruction: Segnalate subito eventuali problemi (Please report any problems immediately).

Etymology-wise, segnalate derives from segnalare, which in turn comes from segn- related to sign or signal, ultimately linked to the Latin signum "sign" through the Italian word segno (sign) and related formations.

Common usages include reporting or flagging information in administrative, technical, or user-generated contexts, and instructing a group to perform reporting. The term appears in official notices, software documentation, and media where accuracy of reported data is emphasized.
