bypassare — Italian conjugation

to bypass

Frequency#1332Regular

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.

PronounItalianEnglish
iobypassoI bypass
tubypassiyou bypass
lui/leibypassahe/she/it bypasses
noibypassiamowe bypass
voibypassateyou (pl.) bypass
lorobypassanothey bypass

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.

PronounItalianEnglish
iobypassaiI bypassed
tubypassastiyou bypassed
lui/leibypassòhe/she/it bypassed
noibypassammowe bypassed
voibypassasteyou (pl.) bypassed
lorobypassaronothey bypassed

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.

PronounItalian
iobypassavo
tubypassavi
lui/leibypassava
noibypassavamo
voibypassavate
lorobypassavano

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?

PronounItalianEnglish
iobypassereiI would bypass
tubypasserestiyou would bypass
lui/leibypasserebbehe/she/it would bypass
noibypasseremmowe would bypass
voibypasseresteyou (pl.) would bypass
lorobypasserebberothey would bypass

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.

PronounItalianEnglish
iobypasseròI will bypass
tubypasseraiyou will bypass
lui/leibypasseràhe/she/it will bypass
noibypasseremowe will bypass
voibypassereteyou (pl.) will bypass
lorobypasserannothey will bypass

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.

PronounItalianEnglish
ioho bypassatoI have bypassed
tuhai bypassatoyou have bypassed
lui/leiha bypassatohe/she/it has bypassed
noiabbiamo bypassatowe have bypassed
voiavete bypassatoyou (pl.) have bypassed
lorohanno bypassatothey have bypassed

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.

PronounItalianEnglish
ioavevo bypassatoI had bypassed
tuavevi bypassatoyou had bypassed
lui/leiaveva bypassatohe/she/it had bypassed
noiavevamo bypassatowe had bypassed
voiavevate bypassatoyou (pl.) had bypassed
loroavevano bypassatothey had bypassed

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.

PronounItalian
ioavrei bypassato
tuavresti bypassato
lui/leiavrebbe bypassato
noiavremmo bypassato
voiavreste bypassato
loroavrebbero bypassato

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.

PronounItalianEnglish
ioavrò bypassatoI will have bypassed
tuavrai bypassatoyou will have bypassed
lui/leiavrà bypassatohe/she/it will have bypassed
noiavremo bypassatowe will have bypassed
voiavrete bypassatoyou (pl.) will have bypassed
loroavranno bypassatothey will have bypassed

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.

PronounItalian
iobypassi
tubypassi
lui/leibypassi
noibypassiamo
voibypassiate
lorobypassino

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.

PronounItalian
iobypassassi
tubypassassi
lui/leibypassasse
noibypassassimo
voibypassaste
lorobypassassero

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.

PronounItalian
tubypassa
lui/leibypassi
noibypassiamo
voibypassate
lorobypassino

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.

PronounItalian
tunon bypassare
lui/leinon bypassi
noinon bypassiamo
voinon bypassate
loronon bypassino
