appongono

Appongono is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb apporre. The verb means to affix, attach, or place something onto a surface, often to add an element to a document, label, stamp, or mark. The form appongono corresponds to “they affix” or “they attach” when the subject is plural.

Etymology and form. Apporre derives from Latin appōnere, from ad- plus pōnere, meaning to place or lay upon. In modern Italian the sense extended to attaching or affixing things such as seals, signatures, or labels. The corresponding conjugation follows regular -ere verb patterns in the present tense, with stressed forms on the stem: appongo, apponi, appone, apponiamo, apponete, appongono.

Usage and examples. Apporre is commonly used with concrete objects such as una firma (a signature), un timbro (a stamp), una data (a date), or un’etichetta (a label). The standard phrase for signing is apporre una firma. Examples: I funzionari appongono i timbri sui documenti. Le autorità appongono la data sul protocollo. In legal or administrative contexts, the verb often appears in formal constructions describing actions taken to mark or certify documents.
