incorre

Incorre is the third-person singular present indicative form of the Italian verb incorrere, meaning to incur, to come into, or to fall into. The infinitive incorrere derives from Latin incurrere, literally “to run into” (in + currere), and in Italian it can express the act of encountering or suffering something undesirable, such as expenses or penalties.

The verb is generally intransitive and is used with the preposition in to introduce what is incurred: incorrere in spese, incorrere in multe, incorrere in un errore. It can also describe running into non-physical difficulties or situations. Conjugation follows regular -ere patterns with stem changes for some forms: io incorro, tu incorri, lui/lei incorre; noi incorriamo, voi incorrete, loro incorrono.

Usage notes: incorrere in is a common, neutral expression in both everyday and formal Italian. It emphasizes the result of an action where the speaker ends up bearing a consequence rather than performing the action deliberately. The term is often found in legal or financial contexts when discussing incurred costs and penalties.

Examples: L’azienda incorre in spese non previste. Se gestisci male i conti, incorri in multe. L’atleta incorre in sanzioni disciplinari.
