Guadagnamo

Guadagnamo is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb guadagnare, meaning “we earn” or “we gain.” It is used to describe actions performed by the subject noi and is part of the regular -are verb conjugation. The standard present indicative forms for the other persons are io guadagno, tu guadagni, lui/lei guadagna, noi guadagnamo, voi guadagnate, loro guadagnano.

In usage, guadagnare can take a direct object to express earning money or other gains, and it is often paired with common nouns and idioms. Typical collocations include guadagnare soldi (to earn money), guadagnare tempo (to gain time), guadagnare fiducia (to earn trust), and guadagnare terreno (to make progress or gain ground). The phrase guadagnare tempo is a frequent idiom indicating the act of saving or gaining time rather than losing it, while guadagnare terreno is used in contexts of competition or negotiation.

Examples illustrate everyday usage: Noi guadagnamo abbastanza da pagare le bollette mensili. Con una gestione migliore, siamo riusciti a guadagnare terreno sul mercato locale. In addition to its literal sense, guadagnamo functions as part of broader expressions about progress, efficiency, and resource acquisition.

Guadagnamo is not a proper noun; it is a verb form derived from guadagnare. The related noun guadagno means “gain” or “profit,” and both share the same lexical root.
