iscrivono

Iscrivono is the third-person plural present indicative form of iscrivere, an Italian verb meaning to enroll, register, or sign up someone in a course, organization, or activity. It is used transitively, taking a direct object that denotes what is being enrolled, often with an implied recipient. For example, “Iscrivono gli studenti al corso” means they enroll the students in the course.

Etymology and related forms: iscrivere comes from Latin inscribere, “to inscribe, enroll,” through medieval Latin forms. The Italian spelling reflects the assimilation of in- with scribere before the cluster scr-.

The past participle is iscritto; the gerund is iscrivendo. The infinitive is iscrivere. The reflexive form iscriversi is used when the subject enrolls itself, as in “Mi iscrivo al corso,” “Ci iscriviamo all’università.”
