sopprime

Sopprime is the third-person singular present indicative form of the Italian verb sopprimere, meaning to suppress, abolish, or eliminate. It is used in a range of contexts—from law and administration to everyday discourse—to indicate that something is being removed, reduced, or prohibited.

In Italian, sopprimere is a regular -ere verb. The present indicative forms are io sopprimo, tu sopprimi, lui/lei sopprime, noi sopprimiamo, voi sopprimete, loro sopprimono. The verb’s past participle is soppresso. The form sopprime specifically denotes a singular third-person subject performing the action in the present tense.

Etymology and related languages: Sopprimere derives from Latin forms such as suppprimere, which combine sub- (“under”) and premere (“to press”), conveying the notion of pressing down or removing something. Related verbs exist in other Romance languages with similar meanings, including Spanish suprimir and French supprimer. While these languages share the same root, their conjugations and exact spellings differ, so sopprime should not be mistaken for the corresponding forms in Spanish or French (suprime and supprime, respectively).

Usage notes: Sopprime is commonly found in formal or technical writing when describing administrative acts, policy changes, or procedures that remove or diminish previous provisions, privileges, or items. In bilingual or multilingual contexts, readers should be mindful of the distinct conjugations and meanings across languages that share the same root.
