riguardano

Riguardano is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb riguardare. The verb means to concern, pertain to, or relate to, and it is used to indicate what subjects or issues involve or affect someone or something.

Riguardare is a transitive verb that takes a direct object. Riguardano is used when the subject is plural and acts upon that object. Examples: Le norme riguardano la protezione dei dati; I cambiamenti riguardano la politica economica; Queste questioni riguardano l’intera comunità. In everyday Italian, the phrase cosa ti riguarda? (what concerns you?) is a common way to ask what is relevant to someone in a given matter.

Usage notes: riguardano can appear in both formal and informal contexts. It often introduces topics, regulations, decisions, or considerations that affect multiple parties.

The verb is regular within the -are conjugation pattern, with endings such as riguardo, riguardi, riguarda, riguardiamo, riguardate, riguardano.
