aspettiamo

Aspettiamo is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb aspettare, meaning to wait or to expect. It is used to state that a group is waiting for someone or something, or to express anticipation, such as in invitations or arrangements.

Aspirtare is a regular -are verb. The present tense forms are: io aspetto, tu aspetti, lui/lei aspetta, noi aspettiamo, voi aspettate, loro aspettano. The form noi aspettiamo corresponds to the English “we wait” or “we are waiting.” The verb’s root is aspett-, and the standard endings follow the regular -are pattern. The word derives from Latin exspectare, meaning to look out for or await.

Common usages and examples include: “Aspettiamo il treno.” (We are waiting for the train.) “Aspettiamo una conferma.” (We are waiting for a confirmation.) In invitation contexts, the phrase “Vi aspettiamo” is frequently used to mean “We look forward to seeing you” or “You are welcome to come.” The expression “Aspettiamo notizie” translates to “We are waiting for news.” In everyday speech, aspettare covers both waiting for something tangible and anticipating events or outcomes.

Notes: aspettare is often used interchangeably with attendere in more formal or literary contexts, though attendere is less common in everyday speech. Aspettiamo is a straightforward, neutral form appropriate for statements involving groups addressing others or describing collective action.
