svolgiamo

Svolgiamo is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb svolgere, which means to carry out, to perform, or to execute. As a finite verb, svolgiamo expresses an action performed by the speaker together with others in the present time or in a general present sense when the subject includes the speaker and others.

The verb svolgere belongs to the -gere group of irregular -ere verbs. Its principal present-tense forms are: io svolgo, tu svolgi, lui/lei svolge, noi svolgiamo, voi svolgete, loro svolgono. The stem shows irregularities in the 1st and 3rd person singular. The present subjunctive uses the same endings in the first plural: che noi svolgiamo, che voi svolgiate, che loro svolgano.

Usage of svolgiamo occurs in formal and written Italian, particularly in contexts involving planning, reporting, or evaluation. Examples include: “Svolgiamo un’analisi dettagliata” and “Svolgiamo le attività previste dal piano.” The form can also appear in imperative-like or exhortative constructions in which the speaker includes themselves, such as in collaborative or organizational contexts.

Etymology traces svolgere to the Latin verb volvere (to roll) with a prefix s-, forming a sense of unfolding, developing, or carrying out an action. The word has produced related forms in Italian, including the noun svolgimento (unfolding, development, execution) and the present participle svolgente.
