procuravamo

Procuravamo is the first-person plural imperfect indicative form of the Italian verb procurare. The verb means to obtain, procure, or provide something, and can also be used in a broader sense to cause or bring about a result (for example, procurare danni or procurare problemi). In the imperfect tense, procuravamo describes past actions that were ongoing or habitual.

Conjugation and usage: Procurare is a regular -are verb. The imperfect forms are: procuravo, procuravi, procurava, procuravamo, procuravate, procuravano. Examples in context include: "Procuravamo il materiale necessario" (We were procuring the necessary material) and "Durante l’emergenza, procuravamo medicine e cibo" (During the emergency, we were procuring medicines and food). In other tenses, the verb can take direct objects such as "danni" (damage) or "riqualificare" (to obtain/retrieve resources).

Etymology: The verb derives from Latin procurare, formed from pro- (forward, on behalf of) and cura (care), with the sense of taking care of something in advance or arranging to obtain it. Over time, Italian usage extended to the broader meaning of obtaining or providing what is needed.

Notes: Procurare is transitive and requires a direct object. A related form, procurarsi, is a pronominal variant meaning to obtain for oneself (often used with reflexive pronouns). The specific form procuravamo should not be confused with a proper name or title; when encountered as a standalone term, it functions as the verb form within a sentence.
