entrare
to enter, to go in
verb en-TRAH-reh Common
Origin: From Latin intrare (to enter).
Also means
to come in
Usage Note
Entrare takes essere as its auxiliary in compound tenses: sono entrato ('I entered'). The imperative entra! (informal) or entri! (formal) is used like English 'come in!' Entrare in contatto con means 'to get in touch with.' Do not confuse with andare dentro, which is more colloquial.
Examples
"Entra pure, la porta è aperta."
Natural Translation
Come right in, the door is open.
