interagire

Interagire is an Italian verb meaning to interact, to act reciprocally or to communicate and cooperate between people, groups, or with objects, systems, or environments. It is commonly used to describe mutual influence, exchange, or collaboration in social, technical, and organizational contexts.

Etymology and sense: the word derives from Latin interagere, formed by inter- “between” and agere “to act.” In Italian, interagire can describe both human interactions (interagire con una persona) and interactions between non-human agents, such as software and hardware.

Usage and construction: interagire is typically followed by a preposition to indicate with whom or with what one interacts. The common form is interagire con + person or with + object or system (interagire con un collega, interagire con un software). It can also refer to interaction within a broader context, as in interagire in un network, interagire tra diverse parti di un sistema.

Conjugation: interagire is a regular -ire verb. A few key forms in the present tense are: io interagisco, tu interagisci, lui/lei interagisce, noi interagiamo, voi interagite, loro interagiscono. The passato prossimo is formed with avere: ho interagito, hai interagito, ha interagito, abbiamo interagito, avete interagito, hanno interagito. Other tenses follow standard -ire verb patterns.

Context and usage: the term is widely used in technology to describe human–computer interaction, in sociology and communication studies to analyze social exchanges, and in everyday language to describe mutual influence in conversations, collaborations, and joint activities. The related noun interazione and the adjective interattivo are common derivatives.
