biasimare — Italian conjugation
to blame
Indicative
Present (Presente) Regular
The presente covers habits, ongoing situations, and plans about to start — much like English “I study” and “I am studying”. One present tense does both in Italian.
Lavora da casa tre giorni a settimana.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | biasimo | I blame |
| tu | biasimi | you blame |
| lui/lei | biasima | he/she/it blames |
| noi | biasimiamo | we blame |
| voi | biasimate | you (pl.) blame |
| loro | biasimano | they blame |
Simple past (Passato remoto) Regular
The passato remoto tells a completed, narrative past, especially in the south and in literature. The passato prossimo is the normal spoken past in the north, so you choose register and region, not a difference in time alone.
Quella sera arrivò tardi, senza alibi.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | biasimai | I blamed |
| tu | biasimasti | you blamed |
| lui/lei | biasimò | he/she/it blamed |
| noi | biasimammo | we blamed |
| voi | biasimaste | you (pl.) blamed |
| loro | biasimarono | they blamed |
Imperfect (Imperfetto) Regular
The imperfetto is for incomplete past actions, context, and repeated or habitual situations without a clear end. The passato prossimo, not the remoto, is its usual “event” partner in speech.
Da bambina passavo le estati al mare.
| Pronoun | Italian |
|---|---|
| io | biasimavo |
| tu | biasimavi |
| lui/lei | biasimava |
| noi | biasimavamo |
| voi | biasimavate |
| loro | biasimavano |
Conditional (Condizionale) Regular
The condizionale is for polite “would you…”, first-condition hypotheticals, and reported future from a past point of view. The classic if-chain is se + imperfetto → condizionale.
Potresti alzare un poco la voce?
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | biasimerei | I would blame |
| tu | biasimeresti | you would blame |
| lui/lei | biasimerebbe | he/she/it would blame |
| noi | biasimeremmo | we would blame |
| voi | biasimereste | you (pl.) would blame |
| loro | biasimerebbero | they would blame |
Future (Futuro semplice) Regular
The futuro semplice is for predictions and far decisions. In speech you often hear the present (with a time adverb) or a paraphrase, and a famous trick is the futuro di probabilità for a present guess: saranno le tre.
Domani partiremo all'alba.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | biasimerò | I will blame |
| tu | biasimerai | you will blame |
| lui/lei | biasimerà | he/she/it will blame |
| noi | biasimeremo | we will blame |
| voi | biasimerete | you (pl.) will blame |
| loro | biasimeranno | they will blame |
Present perfect (Passato prossimo) Regular
The passato prossimo is the workhorse preterit-like past in the north and in everyday Italian: avere/essere + participle, essere for reflexives, motion, and other change-of-state patterns.
Siamo andati a piedi, poi abbiamo preso l'autobus.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | ho biasimato | I have blamed |
| tu | hai biasimato | you have blamed |
| lui/lei | ha biasimato | he/she/it has blamed |
| noi | abbiamo biasimato | we have blamed |
| voi | avete biasimato | you (pl.) have blamed |
| loro | hanno biasimato | they have blamed |
Pluperfect (Trapassato prossimo) Regular
The trapassato prossimo is “further in the past than another past” — the Italian pluperfect. It pairs with a main past clause to mark sequence.
Avevamo già mangiato quando suonò il telefono.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | avevo biasimato | I had blamed |
| tu | avevi biasimato | you had blamed |
| lui/lei | aveva biasimato | he/she/it had blamed |
| noi | avevamo biasimato | we had blamed |
| voi | avevate biasimato | you (pl.) had blamed |
| loro | avevano biasimato | they had blamed |
Conditional perfect (Condizionale passato) Regular
The condizionale passato is for unreal or missed past results and often appears with se + trapassato prossimo in the protasis.
Avrei accettato, se mi avessero avvisato in tempo.
| Pronoun | Italian |
|---|---|
| io | avrei biasimato |
| tu | avresti biasimato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe biasimato |
| noi | avremmo biasimato |
| voi | avreste biasimato |
| loro | avrebbero biasimato |
Future perfect (Futuro anteriore) Regular
The futuro anteriore says something will already be over before a still-later future, or, like the French, can express a logical guess about a past result.
Entro le cinque, avrà già lasciato l'ufficio.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | avrò biasimato | I will have blamed |
| tu | avrai biasimato | you will have blamed |
| lui/lei | avrà biasimato | he/she/it will have blamed |
| noi | avremo biasimato | we will have blamed |
| voi | avrete biasimato | you (pl.) will have blamed |
| loro | avranno biasimato | they will have blamed |
Subjunctive
Present subjunctive (Congiuntivo presente) Regular
The congiuntivo presente is required after many verbs and fixed phrases of will, fear, purpose, and doubt. Impersonal and semi-impersonal triggers (è importante che) also force the subjunctive mood.
Penso che sia la scelta giusta.
| Pronoun | Italian |
|---|---|
| io | biasimi |
| tu | biasimi |
| lui/lei | biasimi |
| noi | biasimiamo |
| voi | biasimiate |
| loro | biasimino |
Imperfect subjunctive (Congiuntivo imperfetto) Regular
The congiuntivo imperfetto is the past of the congiuntivo system after a past matrix clause and in se + congi. imperf. → condizionale with unreal conditions.
Se avessi più tempo, viaggerei ogni mese.
| Pronoun | Italian |
|---|---|
| io | biasimassi |
| tu | biasimassi |
| lui/lei | biasimasse |
| noi | biasimassimo |
| voi | biasimaste |
| loro | biasimassero |
Other forms
Imperative (affirmative) (Imperativo) Regular
The affirmative imperativo reuses the tu form as 3sg for -are verbs, while other conjugations use the normal tu present. It is the direct command register.
Raccontami com'è andata l'esame.
| Pronoun | Italian |
|---|---|
| tu | biasima |
| lui/lei | biasimi |
| noi | biasimiamo |
| voi | biasimate |
| loro | biasimino |
Imperative (negative) (Imperativo negativo) Regular
Negative commands use non + full infinitive in modern Italian, which is a distinctive rule compared to other Romance languages. Polite or indirect “please don’t” can still soften the tone in context.
Non aprire quella finestra, per favore.
| Pronoun | Italian |
|---|---|
| tu | non biasimare |
| lui/lei | non biasimi |
| noi | non biasimiamo |
| voi | non biasimate |
| loro | non biasimino |
