Rimuovi

Rimuovi is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Italian verb rimuovere, and it functions as the informal imperative as well. The infinitive form is rimuovere. As a regular -ere verb, its present indicative conjugates as: io rimuovo, tu rimuovi, lui/lei rimuove, noi rimuoviamo, voi rimuovete, loro rimuovono. The imperative forms for the informal mood include rimuovi (tu), rimuoviamo (noi), and rimuovete (voi). The formal command uses rimuova (Lei) and rimuovano (Loro).

Etymology and related forms: rimuovere derives from the Latin removere, meaning to move back or away, with the Italian prefix ri- forming the modern sense of removing or taking away. The word is part of a broader family of verbs built from movere (to move) with prefixes that modify the directional or evaluative sense.

Usage and nuance: rimuovere generally indicates taking something away from a place, context, or system. It can refer to physical removal (rimuovere dust from a surface), to removing items from a collection (rimuovere a tag or a list entry), or to removing content in digital contexts (rimuovere a file or a block of text). In everyday language, it can carry both tangible and abstract meanings, and it often implies a deliberate action to liberate or disable rather than simply erase. Distinctions exist with synonyms like eliminare (to eliminate or erase more decisively) and cancellare (to cancel or erase in a document or record).

Examples: Devo rimuovere la polvere dalla mensola. Hai rimosso l’ultimo post dal profilo. In computing, premi Rimuovi per trasferire l’elemento nel cestino o eliminarlo.
