condivido

Condivido is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Italian verb condividere, meaning “I share.” The verb denotes the act of making something available to others, whether information, resources, experiences, or content. It is widely used in everyday Italian and in written language to express the speaker’s action of sharing.

Etymology and grammar: Condividere comes from Latin con- meaning “together” and dividere meaning “to divide,” reflecting the sense of distributing something among people. It is a regular -ire verb, with present tense forms including condividi (you share), condivide (he/she/it shares), condividiamo (we share), condividete (you all share), and condividono (they share). The past participle is condiviso, used with auxiliary avere in compound tenses (ho condiviso, avevo condiviso).

Usage and examples: Condivido questa idea. (I share this idea.) Condivido i documenti con i colleghi. (I share the documents with the colleagues.) In social media and online contexts, the form is commonly used to indicate sharing content, for example, “Condivido questo post” (I share this post). The noun form condivione, or more commonly condivisione, refers to the act or process of sharing.
