Partecipa

Partecipa is a form of the Italian verb partecipare, meaning to participate or take part. It is used as both the third-person singular present indicative (lui/lei partecipa) and the second-person singular imperative (tu partecipa). The infinitive of the verb is partecipare, and the base stem is partecip-.

In present indicative, the verb is conjugated as follows: io partecipo, tu partecipi, lui/lei partecipa, noi partecipiamo, voi partecipate, loro partecipano. This makes parto, you, he/she, and we all fit into the same verb family that expresses taking part in an activity or event. The imperative forms include: tu partecipa (you participate), Lei partecipi (formal you participate), noi partecipiamo (let us participate), voi partecipate (participate), and loro partecipino (let them participate). The imperative is commonly used for direct instructions or invitations.

The word also serves as the basis for related nouns and verbs, such as partecipazione (participation) and partecipante (participant). The concept often appears in civic, educational, and organizational contexts, where individuals are encouraged to join, contribute, or engage in a proceeding, project, or discussion.

Usage notes: partecipa appears frequently in everyday Italian, from informal conversations to formal communications. It is distinct from other forms of partecipare that express different tenses or moods, but all share the core meaning of taking part in an activity.
