Conseguono is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb conseguire. It means they obtain, achieve, or secure something as a result of effort or a process. The form is widely used in everyday speech as well as in formal writing, including journalism, science, and business reports.

Etymology and conjugation: Conseguire comes from Latin consequī, meaning to follow after, with the sense development toward obtaining a result by following a course of actions. In Italian, conseguire is a regular -ire verb with the following present tense forms: io conseguo, tu consegui, lui/lei consegue, noi conseguimo, voi conseguite, loro conseguono. Past participle: conseguito; the auxiliary for compound tenses is avere. Example: "Hanno conseguito risultati significativi."

Usage and nuance: Conseguire typically implies achieving a concrete result or goal through effort, planning, or a process. It is often preferred over synonyms like ottenere in contexts emphasizing attainment through effort. It can be used with a direct object representing the result: "conseguono un premio," "conseguire un obiettivo" (to achieve an objective). The verb also appears in academic and professional contexts when reporting outcomes of studies, projects, or negotiations.
