attesti

Attesti is a conjugated form of the Italian verb attestare, which means to attest, certify, or verify. It appears in two grammatical roles: as the second person singular present indicative form (tu attesti) and as a present indicative form in the subjunctive mood.

In the standard conjugation, tu attesti means you attest or you certify. The present subjunctive forms include io attesti, tu attesti, lui/lei attesti, with noun forms such as noi attestiamo, voi attestiate, loro attestino in other persons. The subjunctive is used in Italian to express doubt, possibility, necessity, or subjective evaluation, often after certain conjunctions or expressions that require the subjunctive.

Usage cautions help prevent confusion with similar-looking forms. Attesti in its indicative use refers to a straightforward statement about someone's action of attesting. When used in the subjunctive, the mood changes the nuance, implying doubt or expectation rather than a direct assertion. In writing and speech, context usually clarifies whether attesti is intended as indicative or subjunctive.

The related noun for a document proving something is attestato, with the plural attestati. In Italian, attestare and its forms are common in formal, legal, and bureaucratic contexts, where verification and certification of information are relevant. Attesti itself is primarily a verbal form rather than a standalone noun, and its correct interpretation depends on mood and grammatical subject within a sentence.
