costruisca

Costruisca is the present subjunctive form of the Italian verb costruire, meaning to build. It is used in clauses introduced by che to express wishes, doubts, possibilities, or hypothetical situations, and it appears in formal or written Italian where the subjunctive mood is required.

In the present subjunctive, costruire follows the standard - isc- pattern found in many -ire verbs: che io costr uisca, che tu costr uisca, che lui/lei costrui-sca, che noi costruiamo, che voi costruiate, che loro costruiscano. The form costrui-sca is the key single form used for the first three persons in the singular, while the plural forms differ (noi costruiamo, voi costruiate, loro costruiscano). This mood contrasts with the indicative, where the verbs are costruisco, costruisci, costruisce, costruiamo, costruite, costruiscono.

Origins and meaning are linked to the Latin con-struere (to heap up, arrange, build), from which the Italian costr- root develops. The present subjunctive remains a grammatical device for expressing non-factual or envisioned scenarios, even as its use declines in everyday speech in favor of the indicative or other constructions.

Usage notes: in contemporary Italian, the present subjunctive is more common in formal writing and in certain regional or literary contexts. In spoken language, speakers may replace it with the indicative in some situations, though the subjunctive is still preferred after che in many formal sentences.

Example sentences: Spero che lui costruisca una casa più sostenibile. È probabile che costr uisca nuove infrastrutture nel prossimo anno. Affinché costruiamo un piano migliore, dobbiamo esaminare attentamente i dati. See also: costruire, congiuntivo presente, italiano verb conjugation.
