Corrupt/corrupted

I am not corrupt/corrupted.

Are both acceptable? If so, do they have the same meaning?

Corrupt is an adjective (as well as a verb) which suggests the quality of something with corruptive nature, like a corrupt government, or country. To be corrupted ( as in a computer hard drive) refers to the state of being affected by something of corruptive nature.

Hello,michael,

I searched corrupt and corrupted in dictionary.

And,I found that corrupt can be used as adjective as well as verb. But, corrupted is past tense of corrupt.

So, I am not corrupt. This is the correct one.

“I am not corrupt” is acceptable, but “I am not corrupted” would have to be changed to “I have not been corrupted”, as this is a denial of an outside force previously corrupting the individual.
