subiamo

Subiamo is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb subire, meaning to undergo, suffer, or experience something, often under adverse conditions. It denotes that the subject “we” undergoes or endures an action or condition, typically with a direct object such as danni (damages), perdite (losses), or pressioni (pressures). The form is part of the -isc- conjugation class, which affects present-tense forms.

Etymology and form: subire derives from Latin subīre, with the present indicative of this class yielding forms like subisco, subisci, subisce, subiamo, subite, subiscono. The verb’s past participle is subito, used with avere to form the passato prossimo (e.g., abbiamo subito).

Usage: Subiamo is used to express that a subject endures or experiences something oneself. It can describe personal hardships, damages to property, or external pressures. It commonly collocates with nouns such as danni, perdite, pressioni, o influenze. The phrase conveys a passive sense of being affected by an event or condition.

Examples:

- Durante la crisi economica, molte aziende subiscono gravi perdite.

- Subiamo le conseguenze delle nuove normative.

Notes: Subire and subiamo are distinct from synonyms that emphasize active cause or responsibility. Subiamo aligns with a neutral, descriptive register when reporting events or conditions that affect the subject. The word is not typically used as a proper noun.
