impiegano

Impiegano is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb impiegare, which means to employ, to use, or to hire. The form is used when the subject is plural and refers to people or resources being employed or utilized. The verb can indicate hiring staff (impiegare persone) or using time or resources (impiegare tempo, impiegare risorse).

Examples include: L'azienda impiega dieci dipendenti. Impiegano molto tempo per scegliere i candidati. The sense can range from hiring workers to allocating or utilizing inputs in a process, depending on the context.

Conjugation of the present indicative (for reference): io impiego, tu impieghi, lui/lei impiega, noi impieghiamo, voi impiegate, loro impiegano.

Etymology and usage notes: impiegare derives from older forms of Italian and has been used since the Renaissance to express putting something to use or assigning tasks. The exact Latin origin is debated, but the modern meaning encompasses both hiring people and making use of resources or time. In everyday Italian, impiegare is more formal than some synonyms like usare or spendere, and its nuance is closer to “to employ or to utilize.

Related terms include impiego, meaning employment or use, and impiegato, meaning an employee. These forms are commonly found in labour, administrative, and business contexts.
