Usage Note

Riparato is the past participle of riparare used adjectivally. Its primary everyday sense is 'repaired' (a fixed object), but it also means 'sheltered' or 'protected' — un posto riparato dal vento (a spot sheltered from the wind). Context tells the two senses apart: a motore riparato is a repaired engine, while una baia riparata is a sheltered bay.

Examples

"Siamo seduti in un angolo riparato dal sole."

Natural Translation

We are sitting in a corner sheltered from the sun.
