They arrived in Italian 🇮🇹

sono arrivati info.

Tips to Remember the Verb:
• Associate “arrivare” (to arrive) with the idea of movement toward a destination; think of the arrival at a party or station.
• Remember that in the passato prossimo (present perfect) the auxiliary verb “essere” is used; thus “sono arrivati” literally means “they have arrived.”
• Notice the ending “-ati” in “arrivati” to indicate a masculine, plural subject (if it were feminine plural, it would be “arrivate”).

Explanations:
• “Sono arrivati” is the passato prossimo form of “arrivare,” used to state that someone has arrived in the past.
• In Italian, many intransitive verbs of motion (like “arrivare”) use “essere” as the auxiliary instead of “avere.”
• The past participle “arrivati” agrees in gender and number with the subject: for a group of females, it would be “arrivate.”

Other Words with Similar Meaning:
• Giungere – often used in a more formal or literary context (“Sono giunti” – they have arrived).
• Pervenire – another synonym, frequently implying reaching a destination or conclusion.
