imploriamo

Imploriamo is the first person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb implorare. The verb means to beg, plead, or entreat with earnestness, to ask for something with strong emotion or urgency. The form imploriamo is used when the speaker includes themselves along with others in making an appeal, often in formal, literary, or ceremonial contexts. It can appear in religious, political, or editorial language, as in imploriamo la vostra attenzione or imploriamo misericordia. It is less common in casual speech, where phrases like chiedere or pregare are more typical, but it remains correct and widely understood.

Conjugation and related forms: The present indicative forms are: io imploro, tu implori, lui/lei implora, noi imploriamo, voi implorate, loro implorano. The noun form implorazione means an act of imploring; the adjective implorante describes someone who implores.

Etymology: The term derives from Latin implorare, formed with a prefix akin to in- and a root related to crying out or lamenting, conveying a sense of appealing toward someone for help or mercy.

Usage notes: Implorare carries a stronger emotional or formal tone than simply chiedere; it is common in religious, ceremonial, or rhetorical contexts and in literary writing. It can be used with a direct object (imploriamo il tuo aiuto) or with a subordinate clause (imploriamo che …). Common synonyms include supplicare and pregare, though these can carry slightly different nuances.
