installano

Installano is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb installare, meaning they install. It signals that more than one subject is performing the action of installing in the present moment. The verb is regular for -are verbs, with full conjugation: io installo, tu installi, lui/lei installa, noi installiamo, voi installate, loro installano.

Usage and meaning

Installano is commonly used in technical, computing, and infrastructure contexts, but it can appear in any setting where multiple agents set up software, hardware, or configurations. The construction takes a direct object: they install [something]. Examples include software programs, drivers, updates, or systems.

Examples

Le aziende installano aggiornamenti di sicurezza ogni settimana. I tecnici installano i driver sul server. Gli utenti installano l’applicazione sul proprio computer.

Grammar notes

In compound tenses, the same verb participates in auxiliary have: hanno installato (they have installed). The future form is installeranno. The noun form installazione (installation) is commonly used to refer to the act or process of installing.

Etymology and related forms

Installare is borrowed into Italian from French installer, reflecting a Latin lineage related to instaurare or instalare, and it follows the regular -are conjugation pattern. Related forms include l’installazione (the installation) and l’installatore (the installer).
