partecipo

Partecipo is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Italian verb partecipare, meaning I participate or I take part. It is used to indicate the speaker’s involvement in an activity, event, or group endeavor and is commonly followed by the prepositions a or in, as in io partecipo a un progetto or partecipo a una discussione.

The verb is regular for the -are conjugation. Its present tense forms are: io partecipo, tu partecipi, lui partecipa, noi partecipiamo, voi partecipate, loro partecipano. The past participle is partecipato, and the passato prossimo is ho partecipato, typically formed with the auxiliary avere. Examples include: Io partecipo al concorso; Lei ha partecipato all’iniziativa.

Etymology and related forms: partecipa derives from the verb partecipare, itself from Latin participare “to take part,” related to participatio and the noun partecipazione (participation). Related terms include partecipante (participant) and partecipatorio (participatory).

Usage notes: par stefano is often used in everyday language and in formal contexts to express current or ongoing participation. In many contexts it is interchangeable with the phrase prendere parte, though partecipo emphasizes the speaker’s current action. The form par tat participates in civic, professional, and social discourse, signaling engagement and involvement.
