Rileviamo

Rileviamo is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb rilevare. The basic meaning is to detect, perceive, or notice something, and to record or collect data about it. It is used across contexts from everyday observation to scientific reporting, and can be followed by direct objects such as segnali, dati, o fenomeni (for example, rilevare segnali, rilevare dati, rilevare un fenomeno). The form rileviamo is used when the speaker includes themselves and others as the subject, equivalent to “we detect” or “we observe” in English.

Grammatical notes: rilevare is a regular -are verb. In the present tense its full conjugation is rilevo, rilevi, rileva, rileviamo, rilevate, rilevano. Rileviamo can function transitively, taking a direct object, as in rilevare un errore (to detect an error) or rilevare una tendenza (to detect a trend). It is common in technical, administrative, journalistic, and scientific language where reporting observations or measurements is required.

Usage and nuance: rilevare emphasizes the act of detection, measurement, or observation, often implying that findings are based on inspection, instrumentation, or data collection. It can imply formality and precision, contrasting with more general verbs like notare (to notice) or vedere (to see). In everyday speech, speakers might substitute with notare or vedere in less formal contexts.

Examples: Noi rileviamo un peggioramento della situazione finanziaria. (We detect a worsening of the financial situation.) Il satellite rileva una diminuzione delle temperature. (The satellite detects a decrease in temperatures.) While closely related to detect and observe, rilevare commonly conveys systematic observation or verification in reporting.
