divulgare — Italian conjugation
to disclose
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 | divulgo | I disclose |
| tu | divulghi | you disclose |
| lui/lei | divulga | he/she/it discloses |
| noi | divulghiamo | we disclose |
| voi | divulgate | you (pl.) disclose |
| loro | divulgano | they disclose |
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 | divulgai | I disclosed |
| tu | divulgasti | you disclosed |
| lui/lei | divulgò | he/she/it disclosed |
| noi | divulgammo | we disclosed |
| voi | divulgaste | you (pl.) disclosed |
| loro | divulgarono | they disclosed |
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 | divulgavo |
| tu | divulgavi |
| lui/lei | divulgava |
| noi | divulgavamo |
| voi | divulgavate |
| loro | divulgavano |
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 | divulgherei | I would disclose |
| tu | divulgheresti | you would disclose |
| lui/lei | divulgherebbe | he/she/it would disclose |
| noi | divulgheremmo | we would disclose |
| voi | divulghereste | you (pl.) would disclose |
| loro | divulgherebbero | they would disclose |
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 | divulgherò | I will disclose |
| tu | divulgherai | you will disclose |
| lui/lei | divulgherà | he/she/it will disclose |
| noi | divulgheremo | we will disclose |
| voi | divulgherete | you (pl.) will disclose |
| loro | divulgheranno | they will disclose |
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 divulgato | I have disclosed |
| tu | hai divulgato | you have disclosed |
| lui/lei | ha divulgato | he/she/it has disclosed |
| noi | abbiamo divulgato | we have disclosed |
| voi | avete divulgato | you (pl.) have disclosed |
| loro | hanno divulgato | they have disclosed |
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 divulgato | I had disclosed |
| tu | avevi divulgato | you had disclosed |
| lui/lei | aveva divulgato | he/she/it had disclosed |
| noi | avevamo divulgato | we had disclosed |
| voi | avevate divulgato | you (pl.) had disclosed |
| loro | avevano divulgato | they had disclosed |
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 divulgato |
| tu | avresti divulgato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe divulgato |
| noi | avremmo divulgato |
| voi | avreste divulgato |
| loro | avrebbero divulgato |
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 divulgato | I will have disclosed |
| tu | avrai divulgato | you will have disclosed |
| lui/lei | avrà divulgato | he/she/it will have disclosed |
| noi | avremo divulgato | we will have disclosed |
| voi | avrete divulgato | you (pl.) will have disclosed |
| loro | avranno divulgato | they will have disclosed |
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 | divulghi |
| tu | divulghi |
| lui/lei | divulghi |
| noi | divulghiamo |
| voi | divulghiate |
| loro | divulghino |
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 | divulgassi |
| tu | divulgassi |
| lui/lei | divulgasse |
| noi | divulgassimo |
| voi | divulgaste |
| loro | divulgassero |
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 | divulga |
| lui/lei | divulghi |
| noi | divulghiamo |
| voi | divulgate |
| loro | divulghino |
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 divulgare |
| lui/lei | non divulghi |
| noi | non divulghiamo |
| voi | non divulgate |
| loro | non divulghino |
