Raccogli

Raccogli is an Italian verb form. It is the second-person singular present indicative of raccogliere, and it also appears as the imperative form used to address someone informally, as in Raccogli subito i documenti.

Etymology: The verb raccogliere derives from Latin recolligere "to gather again" or colligere "to gather," via the evolution of Italian. The orthography uses a double c (raccogli-) before i to preserve a hard k sound, a regular pattern in Italian verb formation.

Usage: Raccogli primarily means to gather or collect physical items, such as fruits, documents, or belongings. It is also used metaphorically for assembling data, information, or people, and in agricultural contexts it relates to harvest. The related noun raccolta denotes a collection or gathering, while racconto is a different root. The past participle is raccolto.

Derived terms: Raccoglitore refers to a collector or gatherer, either a person or a device that gathers items. Raccolta denotes the act or result of gathering (a collection or a harvest). Raccolto signifies that which has been gathered (harvest or yield).
