concluda

Concluda is the present subjunctive form of the Italian verb concludere, which means to conclude or to finish. It is not a standalone verb but a specific inflected form used in dependent clauses.

Etymology and forms. Concludere derives from Latin concludere, from con- plus cludere, meaning to close or bring to a end. In Italian, concluda appears in the present subjunctive mood for the singular persons io, tu, and lui/lei, and is paired with the corresponding forms for other subjects: noi concludiamo, voi concludiate, loro concludano. In construction with che, the phrase often translates to “that I/you/he may conclude” or “that we/you/they may conclude.”

Usage. Concluda is used in subordinate clauses that express desire, doubt, possibility, necessity, or emotion, typically after verbs or expressions that require the subjunctive. Examples include: “Spero che egli concluda l’affare entro la settimana” and “È importante che noi concludiamo l’accordo domani.” In everyday speech, the present subjunctive is less frequent in some regions, and speakers may substitute with the indicative in informal contexts, though the subjunctive remains standard in formal writing and careful speech.
