debuggare — Italian conjugation
to debug
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 | debuggo | I debug |
| tu | debugghi | you debug |
| lui/lei | debugga | he/she/it debugs |
| noi | debugghiamo | we debug |
| voi | debuggate | you (pl.) debug |
| loro | debuggano | they debug |
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 | debuggai | I debugged |
| tu | debuggasti | you debugged |
| lui/lei | debuggò | he/she/it debugged |
| noi | debuggammo | we debugged |
| voi | debuggaste | you (pl.) debugged |
| loro | debuggarono | they debugged |
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 | debuggavo |
| tu | debuggavi |
| lui/lei | debuggava |
| noi | debuggavamo |
| voi | debuggavate |
| loro | debuggavano |
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 | debuggherei | I would debug |
| tu | debuggheresti | you would debug |
| lui/lei | debuggherebbe | he/she/it would debug |
| noi | debuggheremmo | we would debug |
| voi | debugghereste | you (pl.) would debug |
| loro | debuggherebbero | they would debug |
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 | debuggherò | I will debug |
| tu | debuggherai | you will debug |
| lui/lei | debuggherà | he/she/it will debug |
| noi | debuggheremo | we will debug |
| voi | debuggherete | you (pl.) will debug |
| loro | debuggheranno | they will debug |
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 debuggato | I have debugged |
| tu | hai debuggato | you have debugged |
| lui/lei | ha debuggato | he/she/it has debugged |
| noi | abbiamo debuggato | we have debugged |
| voi | avete debuggato | you (pl.) have debugged |
| loro | hanno debuggato | they have debugged |
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 debuggato | I had debugged |
| tu | avevi debuggato | you had debugged |
| lui/lei | aveva debuggato | he/she/it had debugged |
| noi | avevamo debuggato | we had debugged |
| voi | avevate debuggato | you (pl.) had debugged |
| loro | avevano debuggato | they had debugged |
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 debuggato |
| tu | avresti debuggato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe debuggato |
| noi | avremmo debuggato |
| voi | avreste debuggato |
| loro | avrebbero debuggato |
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 debuggato | I will have debugged |
| tu | avrai debuggato | you will have debugged |
| lui/lei | avrà debuggato | he/she/it will have debugged |
| noi | avremo debuggato | we will have debugged |
| voi | avrete debuggato | you (pl.) will have debugged |
| loro | avranno debuggato | they will have debugged |
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 | debugghi |
| tu | debugghi |
| lui/lei | debugghi |
| noi | debugghiamo |
| voi | debugghiate |
| loro | debugghino |
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 | debuggassi |
| tu | debuggassi |
| lui/lei | debuggasse |
| noi | debuggassimo |
| voi | debuggaste |
| loro | debuggassero |
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 | debugga |
| lui/lei | debugghi |
| noi | debugghiamo |
| voi | debuggate |
| loro | debugghino |
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 debuggare |
| lui/lei | non debugghi |
| noi | non debugghiamo |
| voi | non debuggate |
| loro | non debugghino |
