hackerare — Italian conjugation

to hack

Frequency#516Regular

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
iohackeroI hack
tuhackeriyou hack
lui/leihackerahe/she/it hacks
noihackeriamowe hack
voihackerateyou (pl.) hack
lorohackeranothey hack

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
iohackeraiI hacked
tuhackerastiyou hacked
lui/leihackeròhe/she/it hacked
noihackerammowe hacked
voihackerasteyou (pl.) hacked
lorohackeraronothey hacked

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
iohackeravo
tuhackeravi
lui/leihackerava
noihackeravamo
voihackeravate
lorohackeravano

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
iohackerereiI would hack
tuhackererestiyou would hack
lui/leihackererebbehe/she/it would hack
noihackereremmowe would hack
voihackereresteyou (pl.) would hack
lorohackererebberothey would hack

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
iohackereròI will hack
tuhackereraiyou will hack
lui/leihackereràhe/she/it will hack
noihackereremowe will hack
voihackerereteyou (pl.) will hack

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 hackeratoI have hacked
tuhai hackeratoyou have hacked
lui/leiha hackeratohe/she/it has hacked
noiabbiamo hackeratowe have hacked
voiavete hackeratoyou (pl.) have hacked
lorohanno hackeratothey have hacked

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 hackeratoI had hacked
tuavevi hackeratoyou had hacked
lui/leiaveva hackeratohe/she/it had hacked
noiavevamo hackeratowe had hacked
voiavevate hackeratoyou (pl.) had hacked
loroavevano hackeratothey had hacked

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 hackerato
tuavresti hackerato
lui/leiavrebbe hackerato
noiavremmo hackerato
voiavreste hackerato
loroavrebbero hackerato

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 hackeratoI will have hacked
tuavrai hackeratoyou will have hacked
lui/leiavrà hackeratohe/she/it will have hacked
noiavremo hackeratowe will have hacked
voiavrete hackeratoyou (pl.) will have hacked
loroavranno hackeratothey will have hacked

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
iohackeri
tuhackeri
lui/leihackeri
noihackeriamo
voihackeriate
lorohackerino

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
iohackerassi
tuhackerassi
lui/leihackerasse
noihackerassimo
voihackeraste
lorohackerassero

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
tuhackera
lui/leihackeri
noihackeriamo
voihackerate
lorohackerino

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 hackerare
lui/leinon hackeri
noinon hackeriamo
voinon hackerate
loronon hackerino
