esistiamo

Esistiamo is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb esistere, meaning "we exist." It states that the subject(s) referred to by the implicit or explicit noi are in existence at the present moment. In Italian, subject pronouns are often omitted because the verb ending indicates the subject; esistiamo by itself conveys "we exist." The form can also appear as a motto, title, or slogan, especially in contexts emphasizing presence, recognition, or inclusion.

Etymology: The verb esistere derives from Latin existere, from ex- "out" + sistere "to stand" or "to stand forth." Related forms appear across Romance languages; for example, Spanish existimos and French existons.

Usage: As a normal utterance, esistiamo can introduce statements about existence, presence, or identity of a group. It may be used in discussions about visibility or rights, or in poetic or rhetorical contexts to assert presence. In written Italian, capitalization or punctuation would be used according to standard conventions, and when used as a title or label, esistiamo may appear in various typographic forms.

Cultural references: While esistiamo is primarily a common verb form, it can function as a potential title, slogan, or branding element in Italian-language media or initiatives that emphasize presence, inclusion, or collective identity. As a grammatical form, its meaning remains tied to existence and presence in the present.
