Geruntur

Geruntur is a Latin verb form, specifically the present passive indicative, third person plural, of the verb gero, gerere, meaning to bear, carry, or wage. In translation, geruntur can mean “they are carried” or, in the sense of waging, “they are waged,” depending on the object of the action.

In usage, geruntur appears in classical Latin to describe ongoing actions stated in the passive voice. It is often associated with the act of waging something, especially war, but can also refer to carrying out tasks or conducting affairs. Examples include Bellum geritur, meaning “War is being waged,” and Bella geruntur, meaning “Wars are being waged.” Similarly, res publicae geruntur can be understood as “The public affairs are being carried on” or “conducted.”

Morphology-wise, geruntur is the third-person plural present passive form built on the present stem ger- with standard passive endings: -or, -eris, -itur, -imur, -imini, -untur. Thus the full present passive paradigm of gero includes geror, gereris, geritur, gerimur, gerimini, geruntur.

Notes and related usage: gero has a broad semantic range from “to bear” or “to carry” to “to wage” (as in war). In passive constructions like geruntur, context determines whether the sense is “they are carried” or “they are waged,” with common associations to war, public affairs, and ongoing processes.
