Noleggiate

Noleggiate is the second-person plural form of the Italian verb noleggiare in the present tense, meaning “you all rent” or “you all hire.” It can also appear as the present subjunctive form (che voi noleggiate) and, in imperative use, as a command to a group: “Noleggiate un’auto.” The verb is transitive and requires a direct object indicating what is being rented.

Usage and meaning: Noleggiare indicates obtaining a temporary right to use goods or equipment in exchange for payment. The direct object can be a wide range of items, such as automobili, biciclette, barche, attrezzature, or strumenti. Common contexts include car rental, equipment hire, vacation services, and commercial leasing. In compound tenses, the past participle is noleggiato, used with avere (ho noleggiato, hai noleggiato, abbiamo noleggiato, etc.). The noun form noleggio refers to the act or process of renting, while noleggiante or noleggiatore can denote the person or entity that provides the rental.

Examples and nuance: The form noleggiate appears in both indicative and imperative moods—“Voi noleggiate un’auto” (you all rent a car) and, as a command, “Noleggiate una bicicletta.” In subordinate clauses, the present subjunctive “che voi noleggiate” may express necessity or doubt, as in “è importante che voi noleggiate l’attrezzatura giusta.”

Related terms: noleggio (rental), noleggiare (to rent), noleggiante (rental provider), and noleggiato (rented). The usage is common across travel, commerce, and everyday conversation in Italian.
