Espandono

Espandono is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb espandere, meaning to expand or to spread. The infinitive is espandere. The form espandono is used with plural subjects in the present tense, as in Le aziende espandono la loro presenza sul mercato. The verb derives from Latin expandere, from ex- “out” and pandere “to spread.”

Usage in Italian covers increasing extent, reach, or influence across diverse contexts, including business, urban planning, science, and geography. It describes how entities enlarge their scope or coverage, such as companies expanding their market presence or regions expanding their borders or facilities. The nuance is forward-looking and often implies deliberate development or growth.

Conjugation in the present indicative is standard for a regular -ere verb: io espando, tu espandi, lui/lei espande, noi espandiamo, voi espandete, essi espandono. This form is used with plural subjects and can be contrasted with related forms in other tenses, moods, or with the noun espansione for the general concept of expansion.

Examples illustrate common usage: Le industrie espandono la loro produzione per soddisfare la domanda crescente; Le popolazioni espandono i loro confini attraverso nuove infrastrutture; La regione espande la zona industriale verso l'area vicina. The term is often paired with nouns such as presenza, produzione, o territorio to specify what is being expanded.
