regolamentiamo

Regolamentiamo is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb regolamentare, meaning to establish rules or to regulate. It can also appear in the present subjunctive in the same form (che noi regolamentiamo) in dependent clauses. As a whole, regolamentare denotes the act of designing, applying or enforcing rules, standards, or procedures to govern an activity, sector or behavior.

Usage and context: Regolamentiamo is common in political, institutional and organizational discourse, where it signals an action or proposal to set regulations. It may appear in slogans or policy statements such as “Regolamentiamo il mercato” or “Regolamentiamo i dati personali.” The form emphasizes collective action by a group or body, rather than a single individual.

Relation to related terms: The verb is part of the family derived from regolazione and regolamentazione, which denote the process and the body of rules themselves. Regolare and regolamentare share a core idea, but regolamentare specifically conveys a regulatory framework rather than simple regularity. Other related forms include regolamentazione (the regulation or regulation regime) and regolamentatore (regulator).

Etymology: Regolamentare builds on the root regol- from regula (rule) with the typical -ment- suffix to form a verb meaning to regulate, and the noun regolamento (regulation). The term is widely used in legal, administrative and policy contexts to discuss the creation and enforcement of rules.

Examples: Regolamentiamo l’accesso ai dati sensibili. Regolamentiamo le piattaforme online per proteggere i consumatori. Queste proposte mirano a regolamentare il mercato in modo equilibrato.
