Questions & Answers about Ammesso che i dati anagrafici siano corretti, completiamo la richiesta.
What does ammesso che mean here?
Ammesso che means something like assuming that, provided that, or granted that.
In this sentence, it introduces a condition that the speaker is taking as a working assumption:
- Ammesso che i dati anagrafici siano corretti, completiamo la richiesta.
- Assuming the personal details are correct, let’s complete the application/request.
It is a fairly formal expression and is common in written or administrative Italian.
Why is it siano and not sono?
Because ammesso che normally requires the subjunctive.
So:
- siano = present subjunctive of essere
- sono = present indicative of essere
Italian often uses the subjunctive after expressions that introduce assumption, doubt, hypothesis, concession, or subjectivity. Ammesso che belongs to that group.
So the structure is:
- ammesso che + subjunctive
Examples:
- Ammesso che lui abbia ragione... = Assuming he is right...
- Ammesso che sia possibile... = Assuming it is possible...
Is ammesso literally a past participle? Why is it used this way?
