depositare — Italian conjugation
to deposit
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 | deposito | I deposit |
| tu | depositi | you deposit |
| lui/lei | deposita | he/she/it deposits |
| noi | depositiamo | we deposit |
| voi | depositate | you (pl.) deposit |
| loro | depositano | they deposit |
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 | depositai | I deposited |
| tu | depositasti | you deposited |
| lui/lei | depositò | he/she/it deposited |
| noi | depositammo | we deposited |
| voi | depositaste | you (pl.) deposited |
| loro | depositarono | they deposited |
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 | depositavo |
| tu | depositavi |
| lui/lei | depositava |
| noi | depositavamo |
| voi | depositavate |
| loro | depositavano |
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 | depositerei | I would deposit |
| tu | depositeresti | you would deposit |
| lui/lei | depositerebbe | he/she/it would deposit |
| noi | depositeremmo | we would deposit |
| voi | depositereste | you (pl.) would deposit |
| loro | depositerebbero | they would deposit |
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 | depositerò | I will deposit |
| tu | depositerai | you will deposit |
| lui/lei | depositerà | he/she/it will deposit |
| noi | depositeremo | we will deposit |
| voi | depositerete | you (pl.) will deposit |
| loro | depositeranno | they will deposit |
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 depositato | I have deposited |
| tu | hai depositato | you have deposited |
| lui/lei | ha depositato | he/she/it has deposited |
| noi | abbiamo depositato | we have deposited |
| voi | avete depositato | you (pl.) have deposited |
| loro | hanno depositato | they have deposited |
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 depositato | I had deposited |
| tu | avevi depositato | you had deposited |
| lui/lei | aveva depositato | he/she/it had deposited |
| noi | avevamo depositato | we had deposited |
| voi | avevate depositato | you (pl.) had deposited |
| loro | avevano depositato | they had deposited |
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 depositato |
| tu | avresti depositato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe depositato |
| noi | avremmo depositato |
| voi | avreste depositato |
| loro | avrebbero depositato |
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 depositato | I will have deposited |
| tu | avrai depositato | you will have deposited |
| lui/lei | avrà depositato | he/she/it will have deposited |
| noi | avremo depositato | we will have deposited |
| voi | avrete depositato | you (pl.) will have deposited |
| loro | avranno depositato | they will have deposited |
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 | depositi |
| tu | depositi |
| lui/lei | depositi |
| noi | depositiamo |
| voi | depositiate |
| loro | depositino |
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 | depositassi |
| tu | depositassi |
| lui/lei | depositasse |
| noi | depositassimo |
| voi | depositaste |
| loro | depositassero |
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 | deposita |
| lui/lei | depositi |
| noi | depositiamo |
| voi | depositate |
| loro | depositino |
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 depositare |
| lui/lei | non depositi |
| noi | non depositiamo |
| voi | non depositate |
| loro | non depositino |
