Definite Article (la)
The feminine singular article 'la' matches the noun 'lista'.
Noun Gender – lista
'Lista' is a feminine noun, so it takes 'la' and adjectives would agree in gender.

Have you already seen the list?
Sì, ho controllato la lista online.
Yes, I checked the list online.
✕Common Mistakes
Ho controllata la lista online.
With 'avere' the past participle only agrees when the direct object precedes the verb. Here the object follows, so it stays 'controllato'.
Ho controllato la lista in linea.
'In linea' is a literal translation but sounds unnatural; native speakers use the loanword 'online' or 'su internet'.
↔Alternatives
Ho verificato la lista su internet.
I verified the list on the internet.
Ho dato un'occhiata alla lista online.
I took a look at the list online.
Ho controllato la lista sul web.
I checked the list on the web.
Cultural Tip
The word 'online' is widely accepted in everyday Italian, especially among younger speakers and in business contexts. In more formal writing you might prefer 'su internet' or 'sul web'. Remember that with 'avere' the past participle does NOT agree with the following direct object, so 'controllato' stays unchanged even though 'lista' is feminine.
