trascuriamo

Trascuriamo is the first-person plural present indicative of the Italian verb trascurare, meaning to neglect or overlook. The form also functions as the 1st person plural imperative in expressions like “trascuriamo…” meaning “let us neglect” or “let us disregard,” depending on context and tone.

Etymology and form: trascurare combines the prefix tras- with curare (to care), yielding a sense of moving away from care or attention toward neglect. The form trascuriamo is regular for an -are verb in the noi form and is used in both descriptive and exhortative roles.

Usage and nuance: trascuriamo is used to describe not paying sufficient attention to people, duties, details, or situations. It connotes neglect as a process or habit rather than a simple factual omission. It differs from dimenticare (to forget) or ignorare (to ignore) in that it emphasizes carelessly failing to attend to something, with potential consequences for outcomes.

Examples:

- Noi trascuriamo i dettagli di questo progetto, e potrebbero emergere errori.

- Trascuriamo questo aspetto per ora e torniamo a discuterne domani.

- Se trascuri la manutenzione, il sistema si deteriora.
