fuggi

Fuggi is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Italian verb fuggire, which means to flee or escape. It is used to describe a current action carried out by the person addressed: for example, “Fuggi ora” translates to “You flee now.” The form can also function as an informal imperative in the same form, as in “Fuggi!” meaning “Flee!” in urgent situations.

Etymology and related forms: Fuggire comes from Latin fugere, to flee. The present tense forms are io fuggo, tu fuggi, lui/lei fugge, noi fuggiamo, voi fuggete, loro fuggono. The form fuggi specifically marks the second-person singular in the present. In usage, context distinguishes the indicative sense (“you flee”) from the imperative sense (“flee!”).

Usage notes: Fuggi appears in everyday Italian and in literary dialogue. It is commonly followed by prepositional phrases indicating direction or source, such as fuggi dal pericolo, fuggi dalla stanza, or fuggi via. As with many Italian verbs, tone and punctuation help clarify whether it is a descriptive statement or a command.

Examples:

- Tu fuggi dal pericolo.

- Fuggi subito!
