avvertivate

Avvertivate is the second-person plural imperfect indicative form of the Italian verb avvertire, meaning to warn, alert, or notify. As the imperfect tense, it describes past actions that were ongoing, repeated, or used as background information, with voi as the subject: voi avvertivate.

Origin and meaning: Avvertire comes from Latin advertere, “to turn toward,” a development in Italian toward notice and warning. In modern Italian it covers both informing someone of something and warning them about a risk.

Usage: The form is common in narrative and dialogue when referring to warnings given in the past. For example: "Voi avvertivate i vostri amici del pericolo" (You all were warning your friends about the danger). "Quando arrivammo, voi avvertivate già i vicini" (When we arrived, you all were already warning the neighbors).

Conjugation note: The imperfect voi form is avvertivate; other tenses of avvertire include avvertite (present), avvertiste (passato prossimo). The infinitive is avvertire; the past participle is avvertito.
