figurano

Figurano is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb figurare. In Italian, figurare is a regular -are verb meaning to figure, to appear, or to be listed. The present indicative forms include io figuro, tu figuri, lui/lei figura, noi figuramo, voi figurate, loro figurano.

In practice, figurano is commonly used to indicate that items are present in a list, document, or dataset. For example, in a financial report one might read that certain projects or costs figurano nel bilancio, meaning they are listed or shown in the budget. The sense can also extend to be shown or represented in a narrative or description, as in “le cifre figurano sul grafico” (the figures appear on the chart). The exact nuance depends on context, but the core idea is inclusion, presence, or representation rather than an action performed by the subject.

Etymology and related forms: figurare derives from Latin figura, meaning form or image. Related Italian terms include figura (figure, shape) and figurazione (figuration, depiction), as well as other senses of indicate presence or representation in different contexts.
