allaccolgono

Allaccolgono is a verb form found in Italian, functioning as the third-person plural present indicative of a prefixed variant of the verb accogliere. In standard usage, the common present tense of accogliere is accolgono, meaning “they welcome” or “they receive.” Allaccolgono therefore represents a less common or regional/archaic form derived from a hypothetical allaccogliere, which would carry the sense of welcoming or taking in with an intensified or extended nuance.

Etymology and form: Allaccolgono originates from a prefixed version of accogliere, with the prefix all- attached to the stem accogliere. The prefix is understood in Italian to intensify or to signal a more thorough action of receiving or hosting. Because allaccogliere is not part of standard Italian lexicon, allaccolgono is rarely encountered outside specific texts and dialects; most speakers would use accolgono to convey the same basic meaning.

Usage and register: The prefixed form is not common in contemporary everyday Italian. It tends to appear only in regional dialects, historical writings, or poetic/creative contexts where authors seek stylistic emphasis. For everyday language and formal writing, accolgono remains the preferred form.

Relation to related terms: Accogliere (to welcome, to receive) is the root verb. Accoglienza (welcome, reception) and accoglierci (to receive us) are related nouns and phrases frequently used in discussions of hospitality, immigration, or social reception.
