Today's Parola del Giorno is the verb ghermire, which means to clutch, to claw (at), or to grab something with one's claws/talons.

The verb is usually used to describe animals that grab their prey with claws, like an eagle, for example.

Ghermire is also an -isc- verb.

See the verb used below:

La scena che abbiamo visto l'altro giorno in montagna è stata impressionante: un'aquila ha ghermito un cerbiatto e l'ha portato in volo verso il suo nido. Non sapevamo che le aquile fossero così forti!

The scene we saw in the mountains the other day was impressive: an eagle grabbed a fawn with its talons and carried it into the air towards its nest. We didn't know eagles could be so strong!
