Elaboriamo

Elaboriamo is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb elaborare. It translates roughly as “we elaborate,” “we develop,” or “we process,” depending on the context. The form is also commonly used as an inclusive imperative meaning “let’s elaborate” or “let us elaborate,” for example in planning or discussion: Elaboriamo un piano = Let us develop a plan.

Etymology and meaning: elaborare comes from Latin elaborare, itself linked to the idea of working out or refining something. In Italian, the verb conveys actions such as processing data, refining a project, or working out details. Related nouns include elaborazione (elaboration, processing) and elaborato (worked-out or processed thing).

Usage: elaborare is widely used in technical and practical contexts, such as elaborare dati (to process data), elaborare un piano (to develop a plan), or elaborare un testo (to refine a text). In everyday language, elaboriamo is often used to propose joint action or to describe a collective activity, for instance in meetings or collaborative writing.

Grammar notes: elaborare is a regular -are verb. Present indicative forms are io elaboro, tu elabori, lui/elabora, noi elaboriamo, voi elaborate, loro elaborano. The form elaboriamo serves both as the 1st person plural present tense and as the inclusive imperative for “let’s …,” depending on sentence structure and context.
