includiamo

Includiamo is the present tense form of the Italian verb includere, used with the subject noi to mean “we include.” It is also the first-person plural imperative form, used to propose a course of action in a collaborative sense, roughly translated as “let us include.”

Etymology and meaning: The verb includere derives from Latin includere, composed of in- and cludere, meaning to enclose or contain. In Italian, includere and its forms describe adding a person, item, or idea to a group, list, plan, or category.

Usage: In everyday Italian, includiamo is used to indicate inclusion within a group or project. It typically governs a direct object, the thing or people being included, and can express concrete actions or decisions. Examples include: Includiamo Maria nel gruppo di lavoro. (We include Maria in the work group.) Dobbiamo includere tutti i partecipanti nel programma. (We must include all participants in the program.) In a collaborative context, Includiamo anche i partner esterni nel piano. (Let’s also include external partners in the plan.)

Grammatical notes: Includiamo can appear as the indicative form “noi includiamo” and as the imperative mood “includiamo” meaning “let us include.” The verb’s other forms follow standard patterns of includere: includo, includi, include, includiamo, includete, includono; subjunctive and other moods have corresponding forms such as che io includa.
