sorti

Sorti is the masculine singular past participle of the French verb sortir, meaning to go out or to leave. It is used with the auxiliary être to form compound tenses, and it agrees in gender and number with the subject: il est sorti (he went out), elle est sortie (she went out). In plural forms, ils sont sortis or elles sont sorties reflect masculine/mixed or feminine subjects, respectively.

As an adjective, sorti can describe something that has been released or made available. For example, un livre sorti récemment means a book released recently. When used this way, the feminine form is sortie, and the plural forms are sortis (masculine or mixed) and sorties (feminine).

Sorti is often confused with the noun sortie, which has distinct meanings in French. Sortie (with the same root) means an exit or way out, an outing, or a military/aviation mission. Examples include une sortie de secours (an emergency exit) and une sortie militaire (a combat sortie). The noun takes different spellings and accents than the participle.

Beyond its linguistic uses, sort i may occur as a surname in French-speaking contexts, though it is not common as a given name or term in general use.

In summary, sorti is a French past participle used in compound tenses and as an adjective, distinct from the noun sortie, which has its own set of meanings related to exits, outings, and military missions.
