subisci

Subisci is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Italian verb subire, meaning to suffer or undergo. In Italian, subisci is used when addressing someone directly and indicating that they are currently experiencing something negative or challenging.

Etymology: Subire derives from Latin subire, formed from sub- “under” and -ire “to go,” originally conveying the idea of going under or undergoing something. The modern Italian sense retains the notion of enduring or experiencing an event or condition.

Usage: Subisci appears in a variety of contexts: subisci una perdita (you suffer a loss), subisci un danno (you incur damage), subisci una punizione (you undergo a punishment), subisci le conseguenze (you bear the consequences). It can describe physical harm, emotional difficulty, administrative procedures, or negative outcomes and is commonly paired with nouns that denote harm or hardship.

Grammar: Subire is an irregular -isc- verb in the present tense. The present tense forms are io subisco, tu subisci, lui/subisce, noi subiamo, voi subite, loro subiscono. Thus subisci is the standard second-person singular form. The past participle is subito, used with avere to form compound tenses: ho subito, hai subito, ha subito, ecc.
