estrarre — Italian conjugation

to extract

Frequency#186Regular

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
ioestraggoI extract
tuestraiyou extract
lui/leiestraehe/she/it extracts
noiestraiamowe extract
voiestraeteyou (pl.) extract
loroestraggonothey extract

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
ioestrassiI extracted
tuestraestiyou extracted
lui/leiestrassehe/she/it extracted
noiestraemmowe extracted
voiestraesteyou (pl.) extracted
loroestrasserothey extracted

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
ioestraevo
tuestraevi
lui/leiestraeva
noiestraevamo
voiestraevate
loroestraevano

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
ioestrarreiI would extract
tuestrarrestiyou would extract
lui/leiestrarrebbehe/she/it would extract
noiestrarremmowe would extract
voiestrarresteyou (pl.) would extract
loroestrarrebberothey would extract

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
ioestrarròI will extract
tuestrarraiyou will extract
lui/leiestrarràhe/she/it will extract
noiestrarremowe will extract
voiestrarreteyou (pl.) will extract
loroestrarrannothey will extract

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 estrattoI have extracted
tuhai estrattoyou have extracted
lui/leiha estrattohe/she/it has extracted
noiabbiamo estrattowe have extracted
voiavete estrattoyou (pl.) have extracted
lorohanno estrattothey have extracted

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 estrattoI had extracted
tuavevi estrattoyou had extracted
lui/leiaveva estrattohe/she/it had extracted
noiavevamo estrattowe had extracted
voiavevate estrattoyou (pl.) had extracted
loroavevano estrattothey had extracted

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 estratto
tuavresti estratto
lui/leiavrebbe estratto
noiavremmo estratto
voiavreste estratto
loroavrebbero estratto

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 estrattoI will have extracted
tuavrai estrattoyou will have extracted
lui/leiavrà estrattohe/she/it will have extracted
noiavremo estrattowe will have extracted
voiavrete estrattoyou (pl.) will have extracted
loroavranno estrattothey will have extracted

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
ioestragga
tuestragga
lui/leiestragga
noiestraiamo
voiestraiate
loroestraggano

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
ioestraessi
tuestraessi
lui/leiestraesse
noiestraessimo
voiestraeste
loroestraessero

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
tuestrai
lui/leiestragga
noiestraiamo
voiestraete
loroestraggano

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 estrarre
lui/leinon estragga
noinon estraiamo
voinon estraete
loronon estraggano
