Concludiamo

Concludiamo is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb concludere, meaning to conclude, finish, or bring to a close. The verb concludere belongs to the third conjugation (-ere) and is regular in the present indicative, with the full paradigm io concludo, tu concludi, lui/lei conclude, noi concludiamo, voi concludete, loro concludono.

Concludiamo is used whenever the subject is "we" and the action is to reach a conclusion or to bring something to an end. In addition to literal finishing, concludere can also mean to infer or deduce in a logical argument, as in concludiamo che… (“we conclude that…”). The phrase is common in formal writing, analyses, lectures, and meetings.

Etymology: concludere derives from Latin concludere, formed from con- “together” and cludere/cludere “to close.” The Italian form preserves this sense of bringing things to a close or making a determination.

Usage notes: concludiamo can be complemented by direct objects (concludiamo un accordo, una trattativa, una riunione) or used with a clause to express a conclusion (Concludiamo che l’ipotesi è accettabile). In compound tenses it takes avere as auxiliary, as with other -ere verbs.

Examples:

- Concludiamo l’incontro alle ore 18.

- Concludiamo che la tesi è sostenuta dai dati.
