Risolviamo

Risolviamo is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb risolvere, meaning to solve or to resolve. It expresses a current action carried out by the speaker together with others, or it can function as an inclusive suggestion equivalent to “let’s solve” or “we should solve.”

Linguistic notes and etymology: risolvere derives from Latin resolvere, formed from solvere (to loosen or to release) with a prefix relation that evolved in the Italian verb. The form risolviamo follows the standard present-tense endings for -ere verbs in the noi form: -iamo. The pronunciation places the stress on the second-to-last syllable: ri-sol-VI-a-mo.

Usage: risolviamo is common in everyday Italian when a group is invited to address a problem or complete a task. It can appear in mathematical or scientific contexts as well as in collaborative or conversational settings. Examples include:

- Risolviamo questo problema insieme. (Let’s solve this problem together.)

- Risolviamo i dubbi uno per uno. (We’ll resolve the doubts one by one.)

- Risolviamo la questione entro la fine della giornata. (We will solve the issue by the end of the day.)

Notes: While primarily a present-tense form, risolviamo can appear in written instructions or dialogues to convey a proactive, collaborative tone. It should not be confused with the unrelated verb risolve (he/she/it resolves) in other forms or with noun-like usages that may appear in specific contexts.
