avvalgono

Avvalgono is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Italian pronominal verb avvalersi, which means to avail oneself of or to make use of something. The form is typically used with the reflexive pronoun si, as in si avvalgono di strumenti, risorse o misure altrui. In practice, avvalersi conveys the act of employing available means to achieve a goal, often in formal, administrative, or legal contexts.

Usage and nuance: avvalersi di is commonly used to indicate that a person, group, or organization relies on a resource, support, or provision to fulfill a requirement or to support an action. The phrase is frequently found in contracts, government documents, judicial writing, and official communications. The emphasis is on leveraging external or existing resources rather than creating them anew.

Related terms and forms: The base verb avvalersi has close synonyms in valersi di and avvalimento. The noun avvalimento denotes the act or process of avvalersi, and it is especially prominent in Italian procurement law, where it refers to a bidder using the resources of another entity to meet eligibility requirements.

Etymology: Avvalersi derives from valere, meaning to be worth or to have value, with the prefix av- adding a sense of applying or using something to one’s benefit. The construction reflects a formal register and is widely understood in legal, administrative, and organizational discourse.

Examples: Le aziende si avvalgono di nuove tecnologie per migliorare l’efficienza. Lo Stato si avvale di consulenze specialistiche per verificare la conformità delle norme. I cittadini possono avvalersi delle misure di sostegno previste dalla legge.
