deponimur

Deponimur is the first person plural present passive indicative form of the Latin verb deponere, meaning to lay down, place, or deposit. In standard usage, this form conveys being acted upon, as in “we are laid down” or “we are deposited.” The active counterpart is deponimus, meaning “we lay down” or “we deposit.”

Morphology and conjugation: deponere is a regular third-conjugation verb. Its present passive forms are deponor (I am laid down), deponeris (you are laid down), deponitur (he/she/it is laid down), deponimur (we are laid down), deponimini (you all are laid down), and deponuntur (they are laid down). Therefore, deponimur specifically identifies the first-person plural subject in the present passive voice.

Usage and context: deponimur appears in Latin prose and poetry when indicating that the subject is being laid down or deposited by an agent or circumstance. It is not a deponent verb; its passive form expresses a passive voice meaning rather than an inherently active sense. The form is primarily of interest in grammatical analysis, philology, and Latin-language studies, where it helps illustrate how ordinary transitive verbs produce passive forms with meanings that English translates with the passive voice.
