domandiamo

Domandiamo is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb domandare, meaning “we ask” or “we inquire.” In addition to the indicative, the same form is used for the present subjunctive in the noi person in some constructions, so context is needed to determine mood.

The verb domandare derives from Latin demandare, via Old Italian, and is closely related to chiedere (to ask) but often conveys a more direct or formal sense of asking a question or making a request. The noun domanda, related to the verb, means “a question” or “a request” and is used widely in everyday language to denote a query or an application.

Usage: Domandare is used when asking questions or requesting information, clarifications, or forms. It can appear in questions: “Noi domandiamo al responsabile quando inizierà l’incontro.” It can also appear in more formal or cautious phrasing, especially in written Italian. The verb forms follow the standard -are conjugation: io domando, tu domandi, lui/lei domanda, noi domandiamo, voi domandate, loro domandano; its principal past forms are ho domandato (present perfect) and domandando (gerund).
