asportiamo

Asportiamo is the first-person plural present indicative and present subjunctive form of the Italian verb asportare, which means to carry away, remove, or extract. The verb is used in both literal senses—physically taking away material or parts—and figurative contexts, such as removing data, elements, or obstacles from a situation.

Etymology and forms: asportare is built from the root portare (to carry) with the prefix a-, indicating removal or away. The present indicative forms include noi asportiamo, while the present subjunctive uses the same noi form: che noi asportiamo. Other common tenses exist in the same inflection pattern, such as abbiamo asportato (passato prossimo) and asportavamo (imperfetto). The gerund is asportando and the past participle is asportato. Related nouns include asportazione (the act of removing) and, in medical or technical contexts, asportamento may appear in some usages.

Usage: asportiamo appears in everyday language and formal registers. It is commonly found in scientific, technical, and medical writing when describing the removal of material, specimens, or tissues, as well as in logistics or data management when referring to removing items from a set or inventory. In medical terminology, asportare is often paired with surgical context; the noun asportazione denotes the procedure of removal.

See also: asportare, asportazione, rimuovere, togliere.

Note: While asportiamo is a verb form, the term is distinct from but related to similar verbs of removal; its precise meaning depends on context, ranging from physical extraction to data or conceptual removal.
