rivoluzionò

Rivoluzionò is the third-person singular passato remoto form of the Italian verb rivoluzionare, meaning “to revolutionize” or “to bring about a revolution in.” It is used to describe actions completed in the past within a narrative or formal historical context.

Etymology and sense: The verb rivoluzionare comes from rivoluzione (revolution), with the Italian suffix -are. The form rivoluzionò follows the regular pattern of -are verbs in the passato remoto, and it is typically found in literary, historical, or formal writing.

Conjugation pattern: As a regular -are verb, its passato remoto forms are: io rivoluzionai, tu rivoluzionasti, lui/lei rivoluzionò, noi rivoluzionammo, voi rivoluzionaste, loro rivoluzionarono. The third-person singular quello form, rivoluzionò, bears the stress on the final syllable, indicated by the acute accent.

Usage notes: In contemporary Italian, the passato remoto is not commonly used in everyday speech, where the passato prossimo ha rivoluzionato is preferred to express past actions with present relevance. Rivoluzionò appears most often in historical narratives, literature, or formal chronicles to convey events that markedly changed a field or society.

Example sentences: La scoperta rivoluzionò la medicina. La tecnologia rivoluzionò il modo in cui lavoriamo. In entrambi i casi, the sentence attributes a transformative effect to the subject of the verb.
