coincidono

Coincidono is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb coincidere. The core meanings are to coincide, to occur at the same time, or to correspond or match in some respect. It is used to describe events, dates, features, or statements that align or agree.

Etymology: Coincidere derives from Latin coincidere, formed from con- meaning “together” and incidere meaning “to fall upon” (from in- + cadere, to fall). Thus the sense is that things fall together or occur together.

Usage: The verb is typically used intransitively to express simultaneity or agreement. Examples include: “I due eventi coincidono nello stesso giorno” (The two events occur on the same day) and “Le date coincidono con quelle proposte” (The dates coincide with those proposed). It can also take with the preposition con to indicate agreement: “Le mie opinioni coincidono con quelle degli esperti.” It can describe alignment of numbers or data: “I numeri coincidono.”

Antonyms and related terms: The noun form is coincidenza, meaning a coincidence or the event of two things coinciding. Related verbs include combaciare or corrispondere, which may be more common in certain contexts. The participle coincidente means coinciding and can function as an adjective.

Usage notes: The nuance of coincidere can range from natural simultaneity to deliberate alignment, depending on context. In formal writing, the term often appears in discussion of data, schedules, or comparisons.
