Rivolgete

Rivolgete is the second-person plural present indicative and the imperative form of the Italian verb rivolgere, meaning to turn toward, to address, or to direct someone’s attention or speech toward a person or thing. The verb is transitive and commonly used to indicate directing an action, a question, or a message to someone.

In use, rivolgete appears when addressing multiple people. It can introduce commands or guidance, or be part of a description in narrative or instructional text. Examples include rivolgete una domanda al relatore (pose a question to the speaker) and rivolgetevi al responsabile per ulteriori informazioni (address the person in charge for more information). The bare form rivolgete also functions as the imperative without an enclitic pronoun in colloquial contexts.

Etymologically, rivolg fare derives from the verb volgere (to turn) with the prefix ri-, producing the sense of turning toward or addressing. The verb belongs to the Italian conjugation class around volgere and shares related forms with other verbs built on the same stem.
