Vendevamo

Vendevamo is primarily an Italian verb form. It corresponds to the first person plural imperfect indicative of vendere, meaning that it translates to "we were selling" or "we used to sell" in English. The form is used to describe ongoing or habitual actions in the past within ordinary Italian prose, dialogue, or narrative.

Origin and grammar: Vendevamo is formed from the verb vendere plus the imperfect ending -vamo, attached to the stem vende- with the thematic vowel -v- and the appropriate ending for noi (we). In Italian grammar, the imperfect tense conveys actions that were ongoing, repeated, or habitual in the past, in contrast to the passato prossimo, which often indicates completed actions.

Usage notes: In practice, vendevamo appears in sentences that set scenes in the past or convey routine activities. For example, in a narrative about a street market, one might read, “Durante l’estate, vendevamo frutta fresca vicino al porto.” It can also appear in poetry or dialogue to evoke a sense of memory or history.

As a proper noun or brand: There is no widely recognized organization, company, or media entity known by the name “Vendevamo.” If encountered as a name, it is likely a stylized use of the verb form or a creative branding choice rather than a standard reference to a specific subject.
