fallisci

Fallisci is a form of the Italian verb fallire, meaning to fail or to be unsuccessful. It is the second-person singular present indicative form (tu fallisci) and can also function as the second-person singular imperative (fallisci!), depending on context. The word is used to describe a failure or lack of success in various domains, from exams to plans.

Etymology and forms: fallire derives from Latin fallere, meaning to deceive or to err, a connection reflected in its sense of failing to meet expectations. The standard present tense conjugation of fallire is: io fallisco, tu fallisci, lui/lei fallisce, noi falliamo, voi fallite, loro falliscono. The past participle is fallito, used with avere to form compound tenses (ho fallito, hai fallito). Fallisci, as noted, represents the tu form in the present indicative and, in appropriate contexts, the imperative mood.

Usage and expressions: fallire is commonly used with direct objects or targets, such as fallire un esame (to fail an exam), fallire un obiettivo (to miss a goal), or fallire una consegna (to miss a deadline). It can convey varying degrees of failure, from minor mistakes to significant shortcomings, depending on context and modifiers. Related phrases include mancare (to miss or fail to meet), non riuscire (to be unable to), and fallimento (failure, the noun form).

See also: fallimento, fallito, fallire. These related terms cover the noun form for failure, the participle used in compound tenses, and the general verb family from which fallisci is derived.
