riempiamo

Riempimo is the first-person plural present indicative of the Italian verb riempire, meaning to fill or fill up. It is used for both literal filling of a space or container and for figurative filling, such as a calendar with events, a room with people, or a text with details. The form appears in everyday speech, writing, journalism, and literature.

Etymology and conjugation: Riempire derives from Latin implere, via the Old Italian development riempire, with the prefix ri- signaling completion or repetition. In the present indicative, riempire follows the regular -ire pattern with stem changes that produce forms such as io riempio, tu riempi, lui/lei riempie, noi riempiamo, voi riempite, loro riempiono. The past participle is riempito, and the auxiliary used in compound tenses is generally avere.

Examples of use include literal filling: “Riempio la bottiglia con l’acqua.” Figurative filling is common as well: “riempire di contenuti” (to fill with content), or “la sala si riempie di persone” (the hall fills up with people). Riempire is a versatile verb in Italian, applicable to physical tasks, scheduling, or expressive contexts where one speaks of adding substance, volume, or meaning to something.
