Scopre

Scopre is the third-person singular present indicative form of the Italian verb scoprire, which means to discover or to uncover. It is used to indicate that a subject reveals or comes to know something in the present tense, often describing the moment of finding or revealing information or objects.

In usage, scopre appears in sentences such as 'Lui scopre una verità nascosta' (He discovers a hidden truth) or 'La scienza scopre nuove frontiere' (Science discovers new frontiers). It can take direct objects (scopre una verità, scopre una risposta) or introduce dependent clauses (scopre che sta mentendo).

Conjugation and forms: the present tense forms are io scopro, tu scopri, lui/lei scopre, noi scopriamo, voi scoprite, loro scoprono. The form scopre is common in third-person statements. The verb also forms compound tenses with avere, for example 'ho scoperto' (I have discovered).

Past participle and related forms: the past participle is scoperto, used with avere to form passato prossimo and other compound tenses (ha scoperto, avevamo scoperto). Scoprire belongs to a broader class of verbs that express uncovering or revealing, often contrasted with trovare (to find) or svelare (to unveil) in nuance.

Etymology: scoprire derives from Latin roots related to the idea of opening or revealing, and its development follows the typical Romance-language path from Latin to Italian. The form scopre is one of several regular present-tense endings for this verb.
