Raggiungi

Raggiungi is the second person singular present indicative form of the Italian verb raggiungere, meaning to reach or to attain. It can also function as the second person singular present imperative when used as a command addressed to one person. The verb is transitive and typically takes a direct object indicating the target of the reaching action, such as a place, a goal, or a person.

Beyond the present indicative, raggiungere has the typical verb forms: io raggiungo, tu raggiungi, lui/lei raggiunge; impersonal and formal uses include the imperative (tu form: raggiungi; Lei form: raggiunga). The present subjunctive is che io raggiunga, che tu raggiunga, che lui raggiunga. The past participle is raggiunto, used in compound tenses such as ho raggiunto. The gerund is raggiungendo.

Common uses include physical movement toward a location (Raggiungi la stazione entro le sette), achieving a goal (Raggiungi i tuoi obiettivi), or contacting someone (Raggiungi Maria al telefono). The adjective raggiungibile means reachable, and the noun raggiungimento refers to the act of reaching or attaining something, such as a milestone or objective.

Usage notes note that, when speaking politely to one person in formal Italian, the Lei form should be used: Raggiunga. The verb also appears in idiomatic expressions like raggiungere un accordo (to reach an agreement) or raggiungere un compromesso (to reach a compromise). Overall, ragious forms cover physical, temporal, and abstract senses of arriving at or attaining something.
