emittimur

Emittimur is the Latin present passive indicative first-person plural form of the verb emittō, emittere, meaning “to send forth” or “to emit.” In this form the subject is the one being sent rather than the sender, and the translation is typically “we are sent” or, depending on context, “we are emitted.”

Formation and grammar: Emittimur belongs to the third conjugation and is built from the stem mitt- with the standard present passive endings: -or, -eris, -itur, -imur, -imini, -untur. Thus the full present passive paradigm for emittō mirrors common patterns such as mittor (I am sent), mitteris (you are sent), mittitur (he is sent), emittimur (we are sent), emittimini (you all are sent), emittuntur (they are sent). The agent performing the sending is usually expressed in the ablative with a preposition such as ab or a (e.g., ab duce emittimur, we are sent by the general).

Usage: In classical Latin, emittimur is used in contexts of dispatch, release, or mission, where the focus is on the recipients of the action rather than the doer. It often occurs in historical, military, or administrative passages, sometimes with an agent expressed or implied. The passive voice allows speakers to describe orders and movements from the viewpoint of those who are sent forth.
