Trahimur

Trahimur is the Latin present passive indicative form of the verb trahere, meaning “we are drawn” or “we are pulled.” It expresses an action performed on the subject by an external agent and is used in both classical and later Latin to describe being drawn, dragged, or attracted by something.

Morphology and paradigm: Trahĕre is a third-conjugation verb. In the present passive, the endings are -or, -eris, -itur, -imur, -imini, -untur. Thus the present passive forms are trahor (I am drawn), traheris (you are drawn), trahitur (he/she/it is drawn), trahimur (we are drawn), trahimini (you all are drawn), trahuntur (they are drawn). The infinitive is trahere; the corresponding perfect passive participle is trahitus, used with sum to form the perfect passive (e.g., trahitus sum, “I have been drawn”).

Usage: Trahimur is typically accompanied by an agent in the ablative with a or ab: a ventis trahimur (“we are drawn by the winds”). It can denote physical drawing, pulling, or more figurative attraction or influence. The form is common in narrative and expository prose, and, in poetry, it may convey motion, force, or metaphorical appeal.

Related forms include the active traho, trahis, trahit, which describe the subject performing the action, and other tenses built from trahere. The sense of “being drawn” in English often parallels Latin uses of trahere in passive contexts.
