facciamolo

Facciamolo is an Italian imperative expression that translates to “Let us do it” in English. It is formed from the verb fare (to do) in the first-person plural form facciamo, with the direct object pronoun lo meaning “it” attached at the end, yielding facciamolo. The phrase embodies a call for collective action and is understood as inclusive and proactive.

Linguistically, facciamolo is used in informal and semi-formal speech to propose a joint undertaking. The clitic pronoun lo follows the verb and is pronounced as part of the word, producing the emphatic single unit facciamolo. The construction can be expanded with adverbs or additional pronouns, as in facciamolo subito (“let’s do it now”) or facciamolo insieme (“let’s do it together”). In more formal contexts, speakers might choose alternatives such as facciamo questo or procediamo in questo modo.

In contemporary Italian, facciamolo appears in everyday conversation, media, advertising, and campaign language as a concise call to action. It is often used in slogans, social campaigns, or informal messaging to mobilize people around a shared objective. While it can function as a standalone catchphrase, it is not tied to a single canonical work and may appear in various contexts without being associated with a specific author or production.

The phrase reflects a broader pattern in Italian of attaching object pronouns to the verb form to create compact, action-oriented expressions. It remains a common tool for signaling collective effort and initiative in both spoken and written Italian.
