tornano

Tornano is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb tornare, which means to return or to come back. As a common verb, it is used to describe multiple subjects returning to a place or state.

Grammatical notes: Tornare is a regular -are verb. In the present indicative, its endings are -o, -i, -a, -iamo, -ate, -ano, so tornano corresponds to the subject pronouns loro, loro, or a generic plural subject. The form can also appear in figurative contexts to indicate recurrence or reappearance.

Usage: Tornano is used in everyday Italian to indicate that several people or things are coming back. Examples include: I ragazzi tornano domani. (The boys return tomorrow.) Le persone tornano nel villaggio dopo la festa. (The people return to the village after the party.) It can also describe memories, feelings, or events that reappear, as in: I ricordi tornano nei momenti difficili. (Memories return in difficult moments.)

Notes: As a common present tense form, tornano often appears in narrative, dialogue, and descriptive writing to convey ongoing or scheduled returns. For learners, recognizing the -ano ending helps identify it as a third-person plural present tense of tornare.
