iungimus

iungimus is a Latin verb form meaning “we join” or “we unite.” It is the first-person plural present active indicative of the verb iungo, iungere, iunxi, iunctum, whose basic meaning is to join, unite, or connect. The form appears in classical and later Latin texts as part of everyday syntactic construction for transitive actions.

The root verb iungo belongs to the third conjugation in Latin (with the present active endings -o, -is, -it, -imus, -itis, -unt). The infinitive is iungere, the perfect is iunxi, and the supine is iunctum. Other related forms include iungimus (present), iungis, iungit, iungitis, iungunt; imperfect forms such as iungebam; and derived words such as iunctus (joined) and iugum (yoke). The root is connected with a family of words expressing joining or tying, and cognates appear in many Romance languages.

Usage and examples: iungimus requires a direct object in the accusative to indicate what is joined, e.g., duas partes iungimus “we join two parts.” The verb can also express figurative joining, such as uniting ideas, factions, or parts of a whole, often with other particles or prepositions to specify the manner or purpose.

In Latin philology, iungimus is typically treated as the standard present form of iungere, used across genres to denote the act of joining or linking in physical, logical, or relational senses. Related terms include coniungo (to join together) and iunctus (joined), reflecting the same semantic field.
