Avvaliamo

Avvaliamo is not a standard standalone Italian verb form. In standard usage, the expression to avail oneself of something is avvalersi di, and the first-person plural present tense is ci avvaliamo di. Therefore, avvaliamo alone is generally seen as an error or a stylistic shorthand for ci avvaliamo di rather than a separate grammatical item. The form is not treated as a separate lexical entry in reputable dictionaries.

The root idea comes from avvalersi, a pronominal verb built on valere (to be worth, to be of use) with a reflexive or pronominal element. The construction avvalersi di expresses making use of a resource, support, or justification. In proper Italian, the pronoun ci must accompany the verb when the subject is noi, yielding ci avvaliamo di, ci avvaleremo di, ci avvalevamo di, and so on.

Usage and examples. In formal or legal writing, one would typically say: Noi ci avvaliamo delle presenti clausole per definire le condizioni; In the future: Noi ci avvaleremo di una consulenza esterna. The phrase conveys reliance on a resource or procedure. If a text presents avvaliamo o avvaliamo di without the pronoun ci, it is usually a mistake, a dialectal variation, or a typographical error rather than standard Italian.

See also. Avvalersi di is closely related to other expressions meaning to make use of, such as utilizzare, impiegare, sfruttare, and usufruire di. The concept is common in legal, administrative, and formal writing.

Note. Avvaliamo may appear in informal writing as an erroneous contraction, but it is not recognized as the correct form in standard Italian grammar.
