togli

Togli is a term with several possible references, though it is most commonly encountered as a form in Italian grammar. In Italian, togliere means “to remove” or “to take away.” The word togli represents the second-person singular present indicative form of togliere, meaning “you remove.” It is used in everyday speech in sentences such as “Togli la polvere” (Remove the dust) or “Togli quel rumore” (Take that noise away). The same form also appears as part of the imperative in direct-address contexts, written as “Togli!” when giving a command, and it can appear with attached clitic pronouns in phrases like “Togli subito” or “Togli quella polvere.”

Beyond its role in Italian grammar, the string “togli” can occur as a component of longer proper names, particularly in Italian surnames. For example, it appears as the root within surnames such as Togliatti, a name associated with the Italian political figure Palmiro Togliatti. In those cases, the standalone word togli is not the name by itself but part of a larger linguistic unit.

Etymologically, togliere derives from Latin tollere “to lift” or “to remove,” with the Italian forms evolving through the Romance language developments. The present-tense forms include tolgo, togli, toglie, togliamo, togliete, tolgono.

In summary, “togli” is best understood as a common Italian verb form rather than as a standalone term in English, with occasional appearances as a substring in longer Italian names.
