torniamo

Torniamo is the first person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb tornare, meaning to return or come back. It is used when the subject is "noi" (we) and can refer to returning to a place, a situation, or a line of activity.

Grammatical notes and usage contexts: Tornare is a regular -are verb, and its present indicative forms are io torno, tu torni, egli torna, noi torniamo, voi tornate, essi tornano. The form torniamo therefore expresses a current or intended return by the speaker and others. In discourse, torniamo is often employed to indicate resuming an activity or to shift back to a previous topic, as in torniamo all’argomento or torniamo al tema. It can also appear in statements about future plans, especially in informal speech, where the present tense may convey near-future sense (e.g., torniamo domani).

Examples:

- Dopo la pausa torniamo al lavoro. (After the break we return to work.)

- Torniamo a casa domani. (We are returning home tomorrow.)

- Torniamo sull’argomento che stavamo discutendo. (Let us return to the topic we were discussing.)

Related forms and derivations: Torniamo is part of the same verb family as tornare, which also yields forms such as torno, torni, torna, tornate, tornano, and participles like tornato. The term is commonly found in both spoken and written Italian, with its exact nuance depending on context and tense.
