contribuisco

Contribuisco is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Italian verb contribuire, meaning to contribute or to provide something useful to a person, group, or cause. The verb expresses giving support, resources, ideas, or effort toward a shared objective.

The verb derives from Latin contribuere, from con- (together) and tribuere (to grant, assign). In Italian, contribuire belongs to the -ire verbs with an imperfect -isc- pattern in the present tense. The present tense forms are io contribuisco, tu contribuisci, lui/lei contribuisce, noi contribuiamo, voi contribuíte, loro contribuiscono. Note that in the noi and voi forms the -isc- pattern is not used: noi contribuiamo, voi contributedete is incorrect; the correct forms are noi contribuiamo and voi contribute? The correct standard forms are noi contribuiamo and voi contribu it e. For clarity: the standard present tense forms are io contribuisco, tu contribuisci, lui/lei contribuisce, noi contribuiamo, voi contribuite, loro contribuiscono.

Usage examples include contributing to a project, contributing financially, or contributing ideas. Common phrases are contribuire a un progetto, contribuire economicamente, contribuire con idee. The verb also generates standard related forms: participle passato contribuito, gerundio contribuendo, and the noun contributo (contribution) or contribuente (contributor/taxpayer).

In summary, contribuisco functions as a key present-tense form of contribuire, used to express a current act of giving or adding value within a collaborative context.
