raggiungerli

Raggiungerli is the Italian infinitive form of the verb raggiungere combined with the direct object pronoun li, meaning “to reach them.” It is used when the action of reaching is performed with respect to a plural masculine referent, or more generally to a mixed or unknown gender group of people or things.

Use and meaning. Raggiungere can denote physical arrival at a place, attainment of a goal, or reaching a target. When a pronoun is attached, li indicates the objects being reached. The feminine plural form is raggiungerle, while other pronouns have corresponding forms (raggiungerlo for “him/it,” raggiungerla for “her/it,” raggiungerli for “them” masculine or mixed, raggiungerle for “them” feminine).

Grammar notes. In a sentence with a conjugated auxiliary or modal verb, the pronoun attaches to the infinitive: voglio raggiungerli, devo raggiungerli, possiamo raggiungerli. In perfect tenses with avere, the participle is raggiunto/raggiunta (e.g., Li ho raggiunti). The phrase can also appear in compound expressions: raggiungere un obiettivo, raggiungere un accordo, raggiungere una destinazione.

Ambiguity and range. Raggiungere è versatile and appears in diverse registri, from everyday speech to formal writing. It can describe concrete achievements (raggiungere una quota, obiettivi professionali) or relational reach (raggiungere una persona in un elenco). In all uses, the pronoun muzie attaches to the infinitive or to the main verb, agreeing in number and gender with the referent of li/le.
