trasportiamo

Trasportiamo is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb trasportare, meaning we transport or we carry. It is used to describe the action of moving people, goods, or other items from one place to another, in contexts such as logistics, shipping, daily activities, or humanitarian operations. The form can be used in both literal and figurative senses, for example: "Trasportiamo merci tra i magazzini" (We transport goods between warehouses) or "Questo romanzo ci trasporta in un’altra epoca" (This novel transports us to another era).

Etymology and origin: trasportare is built from the prefix tras- (a variant of trans-) meaning across, plus portare, to carry. The word ultimately derives from Latin transferre, and the Italian form uses the prefix tras- before certain consonants. Trasportare belongs to the broader family of portare- verbs.

Grammatical notes: the present tense forms of trasportare include io trasporto, tu trasporti, lui/lei trasporta, noi trasportiamo, voi trasportate, loro trasportano. In compound tenses the auxiliary is avere, giving ho trasportato, hai trasportato, ha trasportato, abbiamo trasportato, avete trasportato, hanno trasportato. Beyond physical movement, trasportare can be used metaphorically to convey immersion or emotional impact, as in "trasportare" someone into a different mood or scene. The verb is related to but distinct from traslare, trasferire, and trascinare, which have related but separate meanings.
