mostriamo

Mostriamo is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb mostrare, meaning to show or to display. In ordinary speech, it translates to “we show.” In contexts that express a suggestion or invitation, it can function as the equivalent of the English “let us show.” The form is also identical to the present subjunctive for the noi subject, leading to occasional ambiguity in written Italian where “mostriamo” appears in both moods.

As a regular -are verb, mostrare is conjugated in the present indicative as io mostro, tu mostri, lui/lei mostra, noi mostriamo, voi mostrate, loro mostrano. In the present subjunctive, the form for noi is also mostriamo (che noi mostriamo, che voi mostrate, etc.). The verb is used with direct objects (e.g., mostrare qualcosa) and with subordinate clauses after expressions of belief, necessity, or emotion.

Usage and context: Mostriamo commonly appears in statements signaling presentation or demonstration, such as “Mostriamo i dati” (we show the data) or “Mostriamoci fiduciosi” (let us appear confident). The phrase can introduce demonstrations, guidelines, or tutorials, and it is also found in campaign or project slogans intended to mobilize collective action. Beyond its grammatical role, Mostriamo can appear as a brand name, project title, or media term in Italian-language contexts, where it may be chosen to convey openness or transparency.
