Constatano

Constatano is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb constatare, meaning to ascertain or to verify. It is used when the subject (they) performs the action of confirming something as true on the basis of observation or evidence.

The verb constatare is a regular -are verb; constatano follows the standard conjugation pattern for -are verbs in the present tense. This form is typical in formal or semi-formal Italian, where writers describe findings or conclusions derived from data, observations, or measurements.

In practice, constatano signals that conclusions are drawn from collected data or observed facts and is common in formal writing, journalism, and scientific reporting. It is less common in casual speech, where alternatives such as dimostrano (they demonstrate) or si rileva (it is noted) might be used.

Examples: I dati constatano un incremento delle vendite. Le evidenze constatano una tendenza al miglioramento.

Etymology: The form comes from the verb constatare, which derives from Latin and older Italian roots associated with establishing or confirming a fact. Related terms include constatare, verificare and accertare.
