decomprimere — Italian conjugation
to decompress
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 | decomprimo | I decompress |
| tu | decomprimi | you decompress |
| lui/lei | decomprime | he/she/it decompresses |
| noi | decomprimiamo | we decompress |
| voi | decomprimete | you (pl.) decompress |
| loro | decomprimono | they decompress |
Simple past (Passato remoto) Irregular
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 | decompressi | I decompressed |
| tu | decomprimesti | you decompressed |
| lui/lei | decompresse | he/she/it decompressed |
| noi | decomprimemmo | we decompressed |
| voi | decomprimeste | you (pl.) decompressed |
| loro | decompressero | they decompressed |
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 | decomprimevo |
| tu | decomprimevi |
| lui/lei | decomprimeva |
| noi | decomprimevamo |
| voi | decomprimevate |
| loro | decomprimevano |
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 | decomprimerei | I would decompress |
| tu | decomprimeresti | you would decompress |
| lui/lei | decomprimerebbe | he/she/it would decompress |
| noi | decomprimeremmo | we would decompress |
| voi | decomprimereste | you (pl.) would decompress |
| loro | decomprimerebbero | they would decompress |
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 | decomprimerò | I will decompress |
| tu | decomprimerai | you will decompress |
| lui/lei | decomprimerà | he/she/it will decompress |
| noi | decomprimeremo | we will decompress |
| voi | decomprimerete | you (pl.) will decompress |
| loro | decomprimeranno | they will decompress |
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 decompresso | I have decompressed |
| tu | hai decompresso | you have decompressed |
| lui/lei | ha decompresso | he/she/it has decompressed |
| noi | abbiamo decompresso | we have decompressed |
| voi | avete decompresso | you (pl.) have decompressed |
| loro | hanno decompresso | they have decompressed |
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 decompresso | I had decompressed |
| tu | avevi decompresso | you had decompressed |
| lui/lei | aveva decompresso | he/she/it had decompressed |
| noi | avevamo decompresso | we had decompressed |
| voi | avevate decompresso | you (pl.) had decompressed |
| loro | avevano decompresso | they had decompressed |
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 decompresso |
| tu | avresti decompresso |
| lui/lei | avrebbe decompresso |
| noi | avremmo decompresso |
| voi | avreste decompresso |
| loro | avrebbero decompresso |
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 decompresso | I will have decompressed |
| tu | avrai decompresso | you will have decompressed |
| lui/lei | avrà decompresso | he/she/it will have decompressed |
| noi | avremo decompresso | we will have decompressed |
| voi | avrete decompresso | you (pl.) will have decompressed |
| loro | avranno decompresso | they will have decompressed |
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 | decomprima |
| tu | decomprima |
| lui/lei | decomprima |
| noi | decomprimiamo |
| voi | decomprimiate |
| loro | decomprimano |
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 | decomprimessi |
| tu | decomprimessi |
| lui/lei | decomprimesse |
| noi | decomprimessimo |
| voi | decomprimeste |
| loro | decomprimessero |
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 | decomprimi |
| lui/lei | decomprima |
| noi | decomprimiamo |
| voi | decomprimete |
| loro | decomprimano |
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 decomprimere |
| lui/lei | non decomprima |
| noi | non decomprimiamo |
| voi | non decomprimete |
| loro | non decomprimano |
