elimina

Elimina is a conjugated form of the verb eliminar in Spanish and of eliminare in Italian. In both languages it relates to removing, erasing, or deleting something. The word ultimately derives from Latin eliminare, formed from ex- “out” plus limen “threshold.”

In Spanish, elimina appears as the third-person singular present indicative (él/ella elimina) and as the second-person singular informal imperative (tú elimina). It can also appear in the formal imperative as elimina in some informal contexts or as elimine for formal commands. Examples include Elimina esa carpeta (He/she eliminates that folder) and Elimina ese archivo (Delete that file). As a button label or instruction, the form Elimina may be used in software or guides to signal deletion.

In Italian, elimina is the third-person singular present indicative for lui/lei elimina, and it also serves as the informal second-person singular imperative: Elimina! (Delete!). The formal imperative is articulated with a different form, such as Elimini! in appropriate contexts.

In computing and digital interfaces, Elimina is commonly used as the label for a delete action in Spanish- or Italian-language software, menus, and help texts, conveying a direct instruction to remove a selected item.
