Questions & Answers about Convochiamo l'assemblea condominiale e poi controlliamo il quorum.

What verb is convochiamo, and what does it mean here?

Convochiamo comes from convocare. It is 1st person plural, present tense: we convene / we call / we summon.

With a meeting, natural English translations are often:

• we call the meeting
• we convene the meeting

So in this sentence, convochiamo l'assemblea condominiale means that we are calling/convening the condominium meeting.

Why is it l'assemblea instead of la assemblea?

Because assemblea begins with a vowel.

In Italian, the feminine singular article la usually drops its final vowel before a word starting with a vowel:

• la + assemblea → l'assemblea

This is called elision. It is very common in Italian.

What does assemblea condominiale mean exactly?

Assemblea means assembly or meeting, and condominiale means relating to the condominium / apartment building / co-owned building.

So assemblea condominiale is the meeting of the condo owners or residents with voting rights. In practical English, depending on context, it could be translated as:

• the condominium meeting
• the condo association meeting
• the homeowners' association meeting

That last one is only an approximate cultural equivalent, not always a perfect legal match.
