trascurate

Trascurate is an Italian term that appears in two main grammatical functions: as an adjective and as a verb form. As an adjective, trascurate is the feminine plural form of trascurato, meaning neglected, overlooked, or disregarded. It is used to describe things that have not received proper attention, such as details, notes, or measures.

As a verb form, trascurate is the second-person plural present indicative of the verb trascurare: voi trascurate means you neglect. It is also the second-person plural imperative form, used to give an instruction or command: Trascurate queste precauzioni. The past participle of trascurare is trascurato (masculine), trascurata (feminine), trascurati (masculine plural), and trascurate (feminine plural). When used in compound tenses or passive voice, the participle agrees with the subject, as in le decisioni trascurate or sono state trascurate.

Etymology traces trascurare to the verb’s root with the prefix tras-, combined with curare (to care). The combination conveys the sense of paying insufficient attention or care to something.

Usage and nuance: trascurate emphasizes a lack of due attention rather than explicit harm, though it can carry a critique of neglect or carelessness. It appears in both written and spoken Italian, in contexts ranging from everyday discussion to formal analyses. Related forms include trascurato/trascurata and trascurare, the base verb, which shares the central meaning of neglecting or overlooking.
