amiamo

Amiamo is the Italian verb form meaning "we love." It is the first-person plural present indicative of amare, the verb that means to love. The subject noi is usually implied by the verb ending, and the present tense forms of amare are: amo, ami, ama, amiamo, amate, amano.

Amiamo is used to express affection for people, objects, or abstract concepts. Examples: "Amiamo la famiglia," "Amiamo la musica," "Amiamo viaggiare." In negative sentences the adverb non is used: "Non amiamo questa idea." In questions, the verb may be placed before the subject or the subject pronoun may be omitted: "Amate la cucina italiana?" or "Ti amiamo" (we love you) with a direct object pronoun preceding the verb, as in "Li amiamo" (we love them).

Etymology and cognates: am- comes from amare, which derives from Latin amare; the root is shared with other Romance languages and reflects the concept of loving or liking.

Usage notes: Amiamo appears frequently in everyday speech, literature, and music, where it conveys a direct statement of affection or commitment. As a finite verb form, it agrees with a plural subject and does not require an explicit subject pronoun in typical sentences.
