ricadiamo

Ricadiamo is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb ricadere, meaning to fall back, relapse, or to land again. The verb is formed from the prefix re- combined with cadere (to fall), and its meaning can be both literal and figurative. As a present tense form, ricadiamo is used to describe the subject “we” in a current relapse, recurrence, or return to a previous state.

In usage, ricadere can refer to physical falls, such as re-injuring oneself after a fall, as well as to metaphorical falls, like relapsing into old habits, behaviors, or health problems. In medical or psychological contexts, the verb often appears in discussions of relapse into illness, addiction, or risk behaviors. In everyday language, it is common to say ricadiamo nelle vecchie abitudini or ricadiamo nell’errore to express returning to familiar patterns or mistakes. The noun form ricaduta is frequently used to denote a relapse or recurrence.

Conjugation note: ricadiamo is one of the regular forms of ricadere in the present tense. Other forms include ricadi, ricade, ricadiamo, ricadete, ricadono. While not as common in highly formal writing, the verb is widely understood in narration and conversation, where it conveys a sense of return to a prior condition or state.

Overall, ricadiamo serves as a concise way to describe a renewed fall or relapse by the subject “we,” applicable to both physical and figurative contexts.
