migliorarli

Migliorarli is the combination in Italian of the verb migliorare (to improve) with the direct object pronoun li (them), forming an infinitive phrase meaning “to improve them.” The pronoun li refers to masculine plural nouns or to a mixed-gender group of items previously mentioned. As a whole, migliorarli functions as the verb phrase used to describe the action of improving those objects.

Grammatical notes: In standard Italian, the pronoun is attached to the infinitive, yielding forms such as migliorarli, migliorarlo, or migliorarle. This construction occurs after a conjugated verb (for example, voglio migliorarli, I want to improve them) or with prepositions that govern an infinitive (sto cercando di migliorarli). The imperative form is Migliorali! (Improve them!). In compound tenses with avere, the past participle may agree with the direct object if it precedes the auxiliary, as in Li ho migliorati (I have improved them).

Usage considerations: Migliorarli is commonly used when referring to improvements of items, processes, policies, or other masculine plural referents. If the referent is feminine plural, the corresponding form would be migliorarle; for masculine singular, migliorarlo; for feminine singular, migliorarla. Although inseparable from the base verb, migliorarli is treated as a typical infinitive with a clitic pronoun in contemporary Italian and appears across formal, technical, and everyday registers.

Examples:

- Dobbiamo migliorarli. (We must improve them.)

- Voglio migliorarli. (I want to improve them.)

- Migliorali! (Improve them!)

- Li ho migliorati. (I have improved them.)
