raggiungiamo

Raggiungiamo is the first-person plural form of the Italian verb raggiungere, meaning to reach or to attain. It occurs in two moods: the present indicative (noi raggiungiamo) and the present subjunctive (che noi raggiungiamo). In practice, the form is identical in both moods, with meaning clarified by context and accompanying verbs. The expression can function as a straightforward statement, “we reach,” or as an inclusive impérative sense, “let’s reach/achieve.”

Morphology and usage notes: The standard present indicative conjugation for the 1st person plural is raggiungiamo; the present subjunctive 1st person plural is also raggiungiamo. Other forms include io raggiungo, tu raggiungi, lui/lei raggiunge, noi raggiungiamo, voi raggiungete, loro raggiungono. The past participle is raggiunto; the verb is transitive and typically takes a direct object, as in raggiungere una meta, un accordo, una vetta. It can describe physical movement or figurative attainment, such as goals, agreements, or milestones.

Usage: Raggiungere is common in everyday Italian across registers. It is used when describing reaching a destination, achieving an objective, or arriving at a decision or consensus. The phrase raggiungiamo is frequently heard in teamwork, planning, and motivational contexts, where speakers exhort colleagues to act together.

Examples: Raggiungiamo la cima entro pomeriggio. Raggiungiamo un accordo tra le parti. Spero che noi raggiungiamo l’obiettivo entro la fine dell’anno. In informal speech, the inclusive sense “let’s reach” is a frequent usage in collaborative statements.
