apporrete

Apporrete is a form of the Italian verb apporre. Apporre means to affix, attach, or place something onto another object, such as a label, stamp, contract, or signature. The form apporrete is the second-person plural form of the verb in some tenses and moods, most commonly encountered as the present imperative for voi (a direct instruction to multiple people) and in the standard future tense for voi. In practice, you might see it in sentences like: “Apporrete qui la firma” or “Voi apporrerete la firma domani.”

The verb apporre is transitive and requires a direct object, as in “apporre una firma,” “apporre un timbro,” or “apporre un’etichetta.” The past participle is apposto, used with auxiliary essere in compound tenses: “La firma è stata apposta.” The form also yields related words such as apposizione (the act of affixing) and apposto (affixed). Etymologically, apporre derives from Latin adponere (or apponere), shared through the development of Italian from Latin prefixes and verb roots.

In usage, apporre appears frequently in legal, administrative, and formal contexts when describing the act of placing marks, signatures, or stamps. Examples include instructions to officials, clerks, or notaries, such as attaching a stamp, seal, or signature to a document. The term is neutral in tone and widely understood in standard Italian.
