Sputano

Sputano is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb sputare, which means to spit. It is used when referring to multiple subjects performing the act of spitting in the present time. The base verb sputare is a regular -are verb, and its present indicative forms are: io sputo, tu sputi, lui/lei sputa, noi sputiamo, voi sputate, loro sputano. Example: I ragazzi sputano sul terreno, meaning the boys spit on the ground.

Sputano appears in everyday speech and literary Italian as a ordinary conjugated form. It can take direct objects or be part of idiomatic expressions. Common phrases include sputare sangue (to spit blood) and sputare veleno (to spit venom), which convey figurative rather than literal meanings and are used to describe harsh or hostile language or behavior.

In usage, sputano serves to describe actions carried out by groups or multiple subjects. It can appear in narrative, dialogue, or descriptive contexts, and it remains understandable across formal and informal registers.

Notes: sputano is not a proper noun and does not denote a place or person. It should be interpreted strictly as a verb form indicating a present tense action by multiple subjects. The related forms of sputare cover the full conjugation across tenses, moods, and voices as with other Italian -are verbs.
