collidono

Collidono is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb collidare, meaning “they collide.” It is used to describe two or more bodies or entities that come into contact or impact while in motion, or to express a clash of ideas in a figurative sense. The infinitive collidare is a regular -are verb.

Etymology and morphology: collidare derives from Latin collidere, formed from con- “together” and laedere “to strike” (or “to harm”). In Italian, the present indicative endings for -are verbs yield io collido, tu collidi, lui/lei collida, noi collidiamo, voi collidete, loro collidono.

Usage notes: In everyday language, scontrarsi or urtare are more common for physical crashes, while collidono is frequent in scientific, technical, or literary contexts. The related noun is collisione, which denotes the event of a collision.

Examples: Le due auto collidono all'incrocio. Durante l'esperimento, le particelle collidono ad alta energia. Le teorie collidono nel dibattito accademico, stimolando nuove ipotesi di ricerca.

See also: collidere, collisione, scontro. Collidono thus functions as a precise, often formal verb form appropriate when describing physical or conceptual clashes in a concise, neutral tone.
