invia

Invia is the Italian verb inviare in the present tense, used to mean “he/she/it sends” in the third person singular and as the informal imperative “send!” for the second person singular. The form invia therefore can function both as a factual present tense form and as a command, depending on context. For example, L’ha inviata una lettera translates to “He sent a letter,” while Invia subito quella email means “Send that email now.”

Inviare is a transitive verb, taking a direct object that indicates what is being sent, for example una lettera (a letter), un pacco (a package), or un modulo (a form). Common synonyms include spedire and mandare, with inviare often preferred in neutral or formal contexts when referring to sending messages, documents, or items through a channel or service. The verb is widely used in everyday speech and in digital interfaces, where “Invia” is frequently shown on buttons to submit or transmit information.
