Interviene

Interviene is the third-person singular present indicative form of the Italian verb intervenire. The term means to intervene, to come between, or to take action to change a situation. It is used in everyday language as well as in formal contexts such as law and medicine, and it can also indicate taking part in an activity or discussion.

In practical use, interviene can be transitive or intransitive depending on the sense. It is commonly used with prepositions to specify the context: interviene in una discussione (to intervene in a discussion); interviene in una causa (to appear as an intervener in a legal case); interviene sul posto (to intervene at the scene). The related noun intervento denotes an intervention, while the participle intervenuto and the gerund intervenendo are used in various verb forms and constructions.

Grammatical forms include: present tense, io intervengo; tu intervieni; lui interviene; noi interveniamo; voi intervenite; loro intervengono. The passato prossimo is formed with avere: ho intervenuto, hai intervenuto, ha intervenuto, abbiamo intervenuto, avete intervenuto, hanno intervenuto. The gerund is intervenendo and the participle passato is intervenuto. The verb derives from Latin intervenire, literally “to come between.”

Interviene is a versatile verb in Italian, suitable for describing acts of interference, participation, or action taken to influence an ongoing situation. Related terms include intervento (intervention) and intervenire (to intervene).
