Avvertono

Avvertono is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb avvertire, meaning “they warn” or “they inform.” It is a finite verb and not a standalone noun. The infinitive avvertire derives from Latin advertere, to turn toward, reflecting the sense of turning attention to something that should be noticed or heeded.

Usage: Avvertono is used when the subject is plural, such as authorities, media, or organizations issuing warnings or notices. It is transitive and often followed by a direct object or by a phrase such as di qualcosa to specify the warning content. Examples include: Le autorità avvertono la popolazione di restare a casa. The authorities warn the population to stay at home. I segnali avvertono che il sistema è instabile. The signals warn that the system is unstable.

Conjugation note: Other present-tense forms of avvertire are io avverto, tu avverti, lui/lei avverte, noi avvertiamo, voi avvertite, loro avvertono. Avvertono can also appear in reported speech or descriptive passages to convey that a warning is being issued by multiple actors.

Related terms: avvertimento (warning), avviso (notice), and the verb avvertire itself, which covers to warn, inform, or notify.

This form and its uses are typical in journalistic, legal, and public safety contexts, where clear and timely warnings are necessary.
