Sputiamo

Sputiamo is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb sputare, which means to spit. It denotes an action carried out by the speaker and at least one other person and is used in both literal contexts (expelling saliva from the mouth) and metaphorical ones (for example, to spit out words or feelings).

Grammatically, sputare is a regular -are verb. Its present tense forms are: io sputo, tu sputi, lui/lei sputa, noi sputiamo, voi sputate, loro sputano. Compound tenses use avere, as in ho sputato, hai sputato, ha sputato, abbiamo sputato, avete sputato, hanno sputato. The word derives from Latin spuere, passing into Italian through the typical development of -are verbs.

Common figurative uses include phrases such as “sputare veleno” (to spit venom) and “sputare parole dure” (to utter harsh words), which convey the idea of expressing hostility or strong emotion. The expression “sputare sangue” describes bleeding from the mouth due to illness or injury and is widely understood in medical or descriptive contexts. In everyday speech, sputare can thus function both as a literal act and as a vivid metaphor for vocal or emotional intensification.

Overall, sputiamo serves as a standard verb form within Italian grammar, applicable across narrative, dialogue, and descriptive writing to indicate collective action or to convey figurative intensity.
