esprimiamo

Esprimiamo is the first-person plural form of the Italian verb esprimere, meaning “we express.” It is used in ordinary Italian to indicate that a group of speakers is expressing a thought, feeling, opinion, or idea. As a present-tense form, it appears in sentences such as “Esprimiamo la nostra opinione” (We express our opinion) or “Esprimiamo solidarietà” (We express solidarity).

Etymology and linguistic notes: Esprimere derives from Latin exprimere, literally “to press out” or “to express.” The form esprimiamo is part of standard conjugation for the verb in the present indicative tense and can also function in exhortative or collaborative phrases to invite collective action or stance, such as “Esprimiamo il nostro dissenso” (We express our dissent).

Usage and context: In everyday language, esprimiamo is a common, neutral verb form used to convey that a group is voicing a position or feeling. It may appear in civic discourse, journalism, and interpersonal communication. Beyond routine speech, esprimiamo has also been adopted as a slogan or part of names for campaigns, organizations, or initiatives in which collective expression or unity is emphasized. In such cases, the term is often used to invoke shared stance rather than to denote a specific, universally recognized entity.

Notes: While esprimiamo can headline or headline-like statements in political or social campaigns, there is no single, widely recognized organization officially named “Esprimiamo.” Its use as a phrase or slogan is context-dependent and varies by region and discourse.
