Conformiamo

Conformiamo is the first-person plural present tense form of the Italian verb conformare, meaning to bring something into compliance with a rule, standard, or expectation, or to shape something to fit. It can also appear in the present subjunctive for the same subject, where the form is identical to the indicative for this person.

Etymology and form: conformare comes from Latin conformare, built from com- (a variant of con-) and formare, “to form.” The verb is transitive and commonly used with a direct object plus a to-phrase, as in conformare qualcosa a qualcosa (to conform something to something). The present tense for noi is conformiamo, and the verb follows regular -are conjugation patterns.

Usage: The form conformiamo is used when the subject is noi and the action is to make something conform to standards or to adapt it to requirements. Examples include: Noi conformiamo i processi alle norme. In reflexive usage, conformarsi means to comply or to adapt oneself to rules: Ci conformiamo alle regole. In formal or technical contexts, conformare may also appear in subordinate clauses with the subjunctive: è essenziale che noi conformiamo i requisiti ai processi (meaning that we ensure the processes meet the requirements).

See also: conformità (conformity), conformarsi (to conform oneself), conformare (to conform something to something), standardization.
