Deducono

Deducono is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb dedurre. It is used to say that “they deduce” or “they infer,” and can also convey the sense of subtracting or deducting in contexts where amounts are reduced or removed, such as in fiscal or accounting language with references to costs or expenses.

Etymology and meaning: dedurre comes from Latin deducere, meaning “to lead away” or “to derive.” In Italian, the sense of dedurre covers logical inference as well as the act of subtracting or reducing an amount. The form deducono corresponds to a plural subject performing the action in the present tense.

Usage: In logic, science, and everyday language, deducono is used to indicate that a conclusion is derived from data or premises, for example: “I dati deducono una tendenza.” In financial or tax contexts, the verb can appear with meanings related to deducting expenses or costs, though this sense is more often expressed with related phrases such as “le spese sono deducibili” or “posso dedurre le spese dalla base imponibile.”

Conjugation notes: dedurre is conjugated as io deduco, tu deduci, lui/lei deduce, noi deduciamo, voi deducete, loro deducono in the present indicative. The form deducono is used exclusively with a plural subject in the present tense.
