gestisco

Gestisco is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Italian verb gestire, meaning I manage or I handle. Gestire is used to describe the act of managing tasks, projects, resources, or people. The verb belongs to the group of -ire verbs that form the present tense with an -isc- pattern: io gestisco, tu gestisci, lui/lei gestisce, noi gestiamo, voi gestite, loro gestiscono. The past participle is gestito and the gerund is gestendo.

Etymology

Gestire derives from Italian roots related to handling, carrying, or conducting operations, with its formal development tracing back to Latin-based forms that contributed to the sense of managing or directing.

Usage

Gestisco is common in business, logistics, IT, administration, and personal organization. It expresses responsibility for a task or operation and can take direct objects or complements describing the area of responsibility. For example, gestire un progetto, gestire una situazione, or gestire il magazzino.

Examples

Io gestisco un team di cinque persone.

Lei gestisce la logistica dell’evento.

Stiamo gestendo le scadenze del progetto.

Conjugation and tenses

In addition to the present indicative forms, gestire follows standard -ire verb patterns with isc- in all singular and plural forms: io gestisco, tu gestisci, lui gestisce, noi gestiamo, voi gestite, loro gestiscono. The passato prossimo uses avere + gestito (ho gestito, hai gestito, ha gestito, abbiamo gestito, avete gestito, hanno gestito). The imperfect is gestivo, gestivi, gestiva, gestivamo, gestivate, gestivano.

Notes

Gestisco can convey leadership and decision-making in formal and informal contexts. It typically answers questions about current management activity and is widely understood in everyday Italian.
