pianifichiate

Pianifichiate is the second person plural present subjunctive form of the Italian verb pianificare. The verb means to plan, to schedule, to organize in advance. The form is used in subordinate clauses that require the subjunctive mood, commonly after expressions of necessity, doubt, desire, or opinion. For example: È importante che voi pianifichiate il calendario delle attività.

Formation: Pianificare belongs to the first conjugation (-are). In the present subjunctive, the voi form is pianifichiate, created from the stem pianific- with the usual subjunctive ending -iate and an inserted -h- to preserve the hard /k/ sound before i. Thus, pianificare -> pianifich- + iate gives pianifichiate.

Usage notes: The present subjunctive mood in Italian is common in formal writing and in many regional speech varieties, but in casual speech it is often avoided or replaced by the indicative. In written Italian, pianifichiate appears in subordinate clauses following verbs or expressions that require the subjunctive. The form is a standard grammatical inflection of pianificare rather than a separate lexical item.
