bloggare — Italian conjugation
to blog
Indicative
Present (Presente) Irregular
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 | bloggo | I blog |
| tu | blogghi | you blog |
| lui/lei | blogga | he/she/it blogs |
| noi | blogghiamo | we blog |
| voi | bloggate | you (pl.) blog |
| loro | bloggano | they blog |
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 | bloggai | I blogged |
| tu | bloggasti | you blogged |
| lui/lei | bloggò | he/she/it blogged |
| noi | bloggammo | we blogged |
| voi | bloggaste | you (pl.) blogged |
| loro | bloggarono | they blogged |
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 | bloggavo |
| tu | bloggavi |
| lui/lei | bloggava |
| noi | bloggavamo |
| voi | bloggavate |
| loro | bloggavano |
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 | bloggherei | I would blog |
| tu | bloggheresti | you would blog |
| lui/lei | bloggherebbe | he/she/it would blog |
| noi | bloggheremmo | we would blog |
| voi | blogghereste | you (pl.) would blog |
| loro | bloggherebbero | they would blog |
Future (Futuro semplice) Irregular
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 | bloggherò | I will blog |
| tu | bloggherai | you will blog |
| lui/lei | bloggherà | he/she/it will blog |
| noi | bloggheremo | we will blog |
| voi | bloggherete | you (pl.) will blog |
| loro | bloggheranno | they will blog |
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 bloggato | I have blogged |
| tu | hai bloggato | you have blogged |
| lui/lei | ha bloggato | he/she/it has blogged |
| noi | abbiamo bloggato | we have blogged |
| voi | avete bloggato | you (pl.) have blogged |
| loro | hanno bloggato | they have blogged |
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 bloggato | I had blogged |
| tu | avevi bloggato | you had blogged |
| lui/lei | aveva bloggato | he/she/it had blogged |
| noi | avevamo bloggato | we had blogged |
| voi | avevate bloggato | you (pl.) had blogged |
| loro | avevano bloggato | they had blogged |
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 bloggato |
| tu | avresti bloggato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe bloggato |
| noi | avremmo bloggato |
| voi | avreste bloggato |
| loro | avrebbero bloggato |
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 bloggato | I will have blogged |
| tu | avrai bloggato | you will have blogged |
| lui/lei | avrà bloggato | he/she/it will have blogged |
| noi | avremo bloggato | we will have blogged |
| voi | avrete bloggato | you (pl.) will have blogged |
| loro | avranno bloggato | they will have blogged |
Subjunctive
Present subjunctive (Congiuntivo presente) Irregular
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 | blogghi |
| tu | blogghi |
| lui/lei | blogghi |
| noi | blogghiamo |
| voi | blogghiate |
| loro | blogghino |
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 | bloggassi |
| tu | bloggassi |
| lui/lei | bloggasse |
| noi | bloggassimo |
| voi | bloggaste |
| loro | bloggassero |
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 | blogga |
| lui/lei | blogghi |
| noi | blogghiamo |
| voi | bloggate |
| loro | blogghino |
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 bloggare |
| lui/lei | non blogghi |
| noi | non blogghiamo |
| voi | non bloggate |
| loro | non blogghino |
