corrispondono

Corrispondono is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb corrispondere. The verb means to correspond, to match, or to be in agreement, depending on the context. It is used when two or more elements have the same meaning, value, or reference, or when something aligns with a standard, a data point, or an expectation. In linguistic or analytical contexts, one might say that X corrisponde a Y, and in general usage, corrispondono to indicate that several items align with each other.

Etymology and usage notes: corrispondere derives from Latin correspondere, with the prefix co- indicating togetherness and the root respondere meaning to respond or to be in agreement. In modern Italian, corrispondono is common in both technical and everyday language, especially in discussions of data, arguments, standards, or mappings.

Grammatical notes: corrispondono agrees with a plural subject. The present indicative conjugation is: io corrispondo, tu corrispondi, lui/lei corrisponde, noi corrispondiamo, voi corrispondete, loro corrispondono. The construction is often followed by a or con to specify what is being matched, for example, corrispondono a un requisito or corrispondono ai dati.

Related forms: the noun corrispondenza means correspondence or alignment, and the adjective corrispondente means corresponding or relevant. In translating, corrispondere is typically rendered as “to correspond,” “to match,” or “to be in agreement,” depending on context.
