provengono

Provengono is a verb form in Italian, specifically the third-person plural present indicative of provenire, which means to originate or come from. It is used to indicate the source or origin of people, objects, information, or situations, typically followed by da to specify the origin. For example, Le notizie provengono da fonti ufficiali (The news come from official sources) or Queste prove provengono da un’indagine recente (These proofs originate from a recent investigation).

Etymology and related forms: Provenire derives from Latin provenire, formed by the prefix pro- (forward) and venire (to come). The verb has a regular present-conjugation pattern in many of its forms. The first-person singular present is io provo? No, io provengo; tu provieni; lui proviene; noi proveniamo; voi provenite; loro provengono. The participle proveniente can be used as an adjective meaning “originating” or “coming from,” as in materiali provenienti da fonti diverse.

Usage notes: Provengono is commonly used in journalism, academic writing, and everyday speech to attribute origin or source. It can refer to tangible things (dati, documenti, merci), intangible things (informazioni, idee), or people and places. When specifying the source, other common prepositions include da and di for origin in a broader sense, while da is used for explicit source or provenance (provengono dall’Italia, provengono da studi peer-reviewed).
