valgono

Valgono is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb valere. The verb valere means to have value, to be worth, to be valid or in effect, to apply to a situation, or to hold significance. As a result, valgono is used when the subject is plural and the statement concerns something that has value, validity, or applicability in a given context.

In everyday and formal language, valgono is often used to indicate that certain rules, conditions, or statements apply. For example, "Valgono le seguenti condizioni" means "The following conditions apply." It is also common in legal, contractual, and regulatory language to state that specific provisions are in force, for instance, "I contratti valgono due anni" or more idiomatically "I contratti valgono per due anni." In pricing or validity contexts, one might say "I biglietti valgono per un'ora" to indicate duration of validity.

Etymology and related forms: valgono derives from Latin valere, meaning to be strong or to have value. Related forms include vale (tu vali; lui/lei vale), valiamo, valete, and the noun valore (value) and valido (valid). The usage of valgono reflects Italian’s way of expressing applicability, worth, and validity across various domains, from everyday speech to formal documentation.
