spieghi

Spieghi is the present subjunctive form of the Italian verb spiegare, meaning to explain. It is used in subordinate clauses that express doubt, possibility, desire, necessity, or judgment, and is typically introduced by che. Example sentences: "Penso che tu spieghi bene il problema" and "È importante che lei spieghi la situazione." In modern Italian, the subjunctive mood is standard in formal writing and in many spoken contexts, though in casual speech some speakers prefer the indicative or simplified constructions.

Spiegare derives from Latin explicare, meaning to unfold or explain; the Italian form spieghi ultimately reflects this origin. Spieghi belongs to regular -are verbs and, in the present subjunctive, follows the standard pattern for this class. The forms for the present subjunctive include io spieghi, tu spieghi, lui spieghi, noi spieghiamo, voi spieghiate, loro spieghino. Because of the similarity in pronunciation between spieghi and other forms, context is essential to identify the subject.

Spieghi is primarily a grammatical term and is encountered mainly in Italian language instruction, grammar references, and formal writing. It is less commonly used outside of this context, where it functions as a verb form rather than a standalone noun or name.
