Intoniamo

Intoniamo is a verb in the Italian language. It is the first-person plural present indicative form of the verb intonare, which translates to "to intone," "to tune," or "to begin singing." Therefore, "intoniamo" literally means "we intone," "we tune," or "we begin singing."

In a musical context, "intoniamo" often signifies the moment when a choir or a group of singers collectively starts a piece of music by finding the correct pitch. It can also refer to the act of tuning instruments together before a performance. Beyond music, the verb intonare can be used metaphorically to describe the act of starting or beginning something with a particular tone or manner. For instance, one might say "intoniamo la conversazione su un tono amichevole," meaning "we begin the conversation on a friendly note." The use of "intoniamo" implies a shared action or an initiation by a group.
