accelerarne

Accelerarne is an Italian verbal construction that uses the infinitive accelerare with the clitic pronoun ne attached to the end. It is used to refer to accelerating a part or aspect of something that has been mentioned earlier. Ne stands in for a di-phrase or a quantified noun such as i tempi, la diffusione, una parte, or altri elementi. The form is common in formal or written Italian, especially in policy, management, or academic prose, where speakers want to avoid repeating the noun.

Examples include: Dobbiamo accelerarne i tempi. È necessario accelerarne la diffusione. Accelerarne un aspetto potrebbe avere rischi. The pronoun remains attached to the infinitive and the rest of the sentence provides the explicit object or complement as needed.

Usage notes: Accelerarne is the infinitive form with ne, used after modal verbs or verbs of obligation, preference, or capability (dobbiamo, possiamo, vorrei). The construction parallels other ne- pronoun inflected forms and reflects Italian use of clitic pronouns for conciseness.

Origin and context: Accelerarne is not a separate lexical entry but a standard grammatical construction in Italian. It derives from the base verb accelerare and the clitic pronoun ne, which replaces a previously mentioned di-phrase or quantity. The form is versatile in both written and spoken Italian, enabling concise expressions such as accelerarne i tempi, accelerarne la diffusione, or accelerarne un aspetto.
