Collegherle

Collegherle is a form related to Italian verbs, typically described as a nonstandard or informal variant formed by attaching the clitic pronoun le (them, feminine) to the infinitive collegare (to connect). In standard Italian the correct infinitive with the pronoun is collegarle. Collegherle is sometimes seen in informal writing or regional speech, and is generally considered noncanonical or a typographical variant rather than a separate lexical entry.

Meaning and usage

The intended meaning is essentially “to connect them” or “to join them,” and it can apply to linking parts of a system, devices, or components. In ordinary practice, writers and speakers would use collegarle or collegare le, depending on tense and construction. When referring to actual gluing with adhesive, incollare is the more precise verb, while collegare covers connection or coupling rather than sticking with glue.

Examples

Standard usage: dobbiamo collegarle tra loro (we need to connect them to each other). For emphasis or in rapid speech, some might write colloquially col legherle, but this is not standard.

Nonstandard note: col legherle is often cited as a erroneous variant; the normative form remains collegarle.

Origins and related forms

Collegherle illustrates how Italian forms clitic pronouns by attaching them to infinitives. Related verbs include collegare (to connect), unire (to unite), and incollare (to glue).
