Ostruisciamo

Ostruisciamo is not a form recognized in standard Italian. It appears to be a mistaken or nonstandard variant of the verb ostruire (to obstruct), or possibly a regional or artistic usage. In contemporary Italian, the correct first-person plural present indicative of ostruire is ost Trier? The safe, standard form is ostRu(i)amo. Therefore, ost ru ismo? The key point is that ost ru iamo is the standard.

The verb ostruire means to obstruct, block, or clog a passage, channel, or opening. It is a terminological verb found in technical, medical, or architectural contexts where occlusion or blockage of a path is described. The noun derived from it is ostruzione, meaning obstruction or blockage. In everyday Italian, however, obstruire is rarely used in favor of more common synonyms such as blocCare, chiudere, or ostruire a occlusion.

Morphologically, ostruire belongs to the set of Italian -ire verbs with the isc spelling in the present tense (io ostruisco, tu ostruisci, lui ostruisce). The noi form is ost ru iamo (ostruiamo), the voi form ost_ru ite (ostruite), and the loro form ostruiscono. This pattern helps explain why ost ru ciamo would be a nonstandard spelling; the correct noi form is ost ru iamo, i.e., ost Ruiamo.

Usage notes: Ostruire is relatively formal and technical in most contexts. The spelling ost ru ciamo is not accepted in standard dictionaries and should be avoided in formal writing. If encountered, it is likely a typographical error, a dialectal variant, or a deliberate stylistic choice in poetry or prose.
