evadiamo

Evadiamo is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb evadere. The word conveys several related meanings, ranging from physical escape to more figurative forms of avoidance. In its most literal sense, evadere describes breaking free from confinement or escaping danger, for example a prisoner who evades custody. In a broader usage, it can mean evading or dodging rules, duties, or questions, sometimes implying deceptive or illicit behavior, such as evading taxes or evading responsibilities. Because of its versatility, evadere appears in legal, political, journalistic, and everyday contexts, often with different degrees of formality.

Etymology and cognates: evadere derives from Latin evadere, meaning to go out, to escape. It has cognates in other Romance languages, such as evadir in Spanish and Portuguese, and evader in French, all sharing the core sense of leaving behind or avoiding something.

Grammar and usage notes: evadere is a regular -ere verb. Key present tense forms include io evado, tu evadi, lui/lei evade, noi evadiamo, voi evadete, loro evadono. The verb can take different constructions depending on sense: for physical escape, phrases often reference a place or confinement; for evading rules or questions, it appears with direct objects or in phrases describing avoidance. The past participle is evas(o), used with auxiliary avere in compound tenses (e.g., ho evaso). The gerund is evadendo.
