raggiungere

to reach

verb rahj-JOON-jeh-reh Common

Origin: Latin re- + adjungere (to join to)

Also means

to achieve

Usage Note

Raggiungere is irregular: past participle raggiunto. Conjugated with avere. It means both physically reaching a place (raggiungere la vetta, to reach the summit) and achieving a goal (raggiungere un accordo, to reach an agreement). Note the -gg- before i produces a 'j' sound: the word begins rahj-JOON-.

Examples

"Abbiamo raggiunto un accordo importante."

Natural Translation

We reached an important agreement.
