comunicano

Comunicano is the third person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb comunicare, meaning "they communicate." It is used when the subject is plural and the action of conveying information, ideas, or messages is occurring in the present.

Examples illustrate its use in ordinary sentences. For instance: "I due gruppi comunicano regolarmente tra loro tramite videoconferenza." In other contexts it can appear as "Loro comunicano spesso via email" or "I team comunicano tra loro mediante messaggi istantanei." The form signals ongoing communication by multiple actors.

Origin and related terms. The verb originates from Latin communicare, meaning "to share" or "to make common." Related Italian terms include comunicazione (communication), comunicativo (communication-related or communicative), and comunicante (one who communicates).

Usage notes. Comunicano is the third-person plural form; the corresponding forms for other subjects are: io comunico (I communicate), tu comunichi (you communicate), lui/lei comunica (he/she communicates), noi comunichiamo (we communicate), voi comunicate (you all communicate). The stem changes follow the regular pattern for -are verbs in Italian. The form is common in written and spoken Italian to describe collective or multi-subject communication.
