dirigimus

Dirigimus is the first-person plural present indicative active form of the Latin verb dirigere, meaning “we direct” or “we guide.” The root verb directed by this form is dirigere, a third-conjugation verb whose senses include guiding, directing, arranging, or bringing something onto a proper course. The notion can also extend to making something straight or aligning it with a goal.

In classical usage, dirigere takes a direct object and conveys directing a person, plan, or object toward an aim. Examples include navem dirigimus “we steer the ship toward the harbor,” or rem publicam dirigimus “we direct the state.” More abstract senses appear with ideas such as directing plans, policies, or efforts.

Grammatically, dirigimus belongs to the present active indicative for the 1st person plural. The full present indicative paradigm of dirigere is: dirigo, dirigis, dirigit, dirigimus, dirigitis, dirigunt. Other forms share the same stem, such as dirigis (you direct) and dirigit (he directs).

Dirigimus may appear in Latin texts to express ongoing leadership or guidance, or can be used in modern or pseudo-Latin contexts as a motto or stylistic choice. In English, it is typically translated as “we direct” or “we guide,” depending on context. See also dirigere and related Latin verbs for broader conjugation and usage.
