Perde una password da 220 milioni di dollari

Participio passato come aggettivo
Past participle as adjective

“…ha dimenticato la password annotata su un foglio di carta”
(he forgot the password written down on a piece of paper)

“Annotata”, in the sentence above, is a past participle of the verb “annotare”, meaning “to annotate” or “to write a note.” In this sentence, it is used as an adjective to describe the “password” as having been “annotated” or “written down” on a sheet of paper.

In Italian, past participles are often used as adjectives to modify nouns. They agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. 

For example:

• Ho mangiato una pizza cotta al forno a legna. (I ate a pizza cooked in a wood-fired oven.) In this sentence, “cotta” is the past participle of the verb “cuocere” (to cook) used as an adjective to modify “pizza”.
• Ho visto un film girato in Spagna. (I watched a movie filmed in Spain.) In this sentence, “girato” is the past participle of the verb “girare” (to film) used as an adjective to modify “film.”
