considerano

Considerano is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb considerare, meaning to consider, regard, or deem. It is used when the subject is a group or multiple people, and it corresponds to “they consider” in English. The form can appear in statements about opinions, evaluations, or decisions made by multiple subjects.

Conjugation and form: Considerare is a regular -are verb, so its present indicative forms are: io considero, tu consideri, lui/lei considera, noi consideriamo, voi considerate, loro considerano. The present participle is considerando, and the past participle is considerato. This enables standard Italian sentence construction using object or clausal complements.

Usage and nuance: Considerano is employed to express assessment, judgment, or deciding in a given context. It can convey a neutral report of what a group believes or decides, as well as a statement about what is regarded as appropriate or necessary. The phrase can pair with phrases like “che” (that) to introduce a subordinate clause, or with direct objects to specify what is being considered.

Examples:

- Le autorità considerano necessarie queste misure. (The authorities consider these measures necessary.)

- I membri del comitato considerano valida la proposta. (The committee members consider the proposal valid.)
