filtrami

Filtrami is the second-person singular imperative form of the Italian verb filtrare when combined with the clitic pronoun mi, meaning “Filter me” or “Filter for me.” It is used to request that the listener perform the action of filtering on behalf of the speaker. The base verb filtrare means to filter, strain, or refine through a filtration process.

In Italian grammar, imperatives of regular -are verbs forms for the tu person typically end in -a (filtra), and clitic pronouns such as mi attach to the end of the verb. Therefore filtrami literally combines the imperative with the pronoun mi (me), yielding “Filter me.” The pronoun can denote the person for whom the result is intended, and other clitics can be used in similar constructions (mi, ti, lo, la, ci, vi, li, le) depending on the object and context.

Usage of filtrami tends to appear in concrete contexts such as cooking or laboratory settings where someone asks another to filter a substance for them, for example filtra la soluzione, filtrami l’acqua, or filtrami questa miscela. It can also occur in more figurative language expressing a request to filter or refine information or content, though such use is less common in formal writing.

Filtrami is primarily a grammatical example of clitic attachment to affirmative imperatives in Italian and is not recognized as a separate concept or entity outside of language usage. See also filtrare, Italian grammar, clitic pronouns, and the imperative mood.
