Partiamo

Partiamo is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb partire, meaning "to depart" or "to start." In everyday Italian, partiamo expresses a direct invitation or suggestion involving the speaker and at least one other person, most commonly translated as "let's depart" or "let's start." The nuance depends on context, with departures often used when proposing leaving a place and beginning an activity.

In usage, partiamo frequently functions as an invitation or rallying cry, similar to "let's go" in English. It appears in spoken language, advertising, and media as a concise call to action. As a compact phrase, it can carry a sense of momentum, collective movement, or the initiation of a plan, depending on the surrounding discourse.

As a title or motif, Partiamo has been used in Italian popular culture to convey momentum, collective action, or journeys. It has appeared as a song title or refrain by multiple Italian artists and in other media, reflecting its thematic resonance with movement and new beginnings. Because it is a common verb form, it is occasionally used in broader contexts such as political campaigns, travel promotions, or sports events to galvanize participants.

Linguistically, partiamo can be contrasted with other forms of partire (partirai, partiremo, partirete) and with related phrases such as "andiamo" ("we go") or "cominciamo" ("let's begin"). In translation, it is generally rendered as "let's depart" or "let's start" depending on whether the intended sense is leaving or beginning. See also: Partire.
