infangare — Italian conjugation
to dirty
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 | infango | I dirty |
| tu | infanghi | you dirty |
| lui/lei | infanga | he/she/it dirties |
| noi | infanghiamo | we dirty |
| voi | infangate | you (pl.) dirty |
| loro | infangano | they dirty |
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 | infangai | I dirtied |
| tu | infangasti | you dirtied |
| lui/lei | infangò | he/she/it dirtied |
| noi | infangammo | we dirtied |
| voi | infangaste | you (pl.) dirtied |
| loro | infangarono | they dirtied |
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 | infangavo |
| tu | infangavi |
| lui/lei | infangava |
| noi | infangavamo |
| voi | infangavate |
| loro | infangavano |
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 | infangherei | I would dirty |
| tu | infangheresti | you would dirty |
| lui/lei | infangherebbe | he/she/it would dirty |
| noi | infangheremmo | we would dirty |
| voi | infanghereste | you (pl.) would dirty |
| loro | infangherebbero | they would dirty |
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 | infangherò | I will dirty |
| tu | infangherai | you will dirty |
| lui/lei | infangherà | he/she/it will dirty |
| noi | infangheremo | we will dirty |
| voi | infangherete | you (pl.) will dirty |
| loro | infangheranno | they will dirty |
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 infangato | I have dirtied |
| tu | hai infangato | you have dirtied |
| lui/lei | ha infangato | he/she/it has dirtied |
| noi | abbiamo infangato | we have dirtied |
| voi | avete infangato | you (pl.) have dirtied |
| loro | hanno infangato | they have dirtied |
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 infangato | I had dirtied |
| tu | avevi infangato | you had dirtied |
| lui/lei | aveva infangato | he/she/it had dirtied |
| noi | avevamo infangato | we had dirtied |
| voi | avevate infangato | you (pl.) had dirtied |
| loro | avevano infangato | they had dirtied |
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 infangato |
| tu | avresti infangato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe infangato |
| noi | avremmo infangato |
| voi | avreste infangato |
| loro | avrebbero infangato |
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 infangato | I will have dirtied |
| tu | avrai infangato | you will have dirtied |
| lui/lei | avrà infangato | he/she/it will have dirtied |
| noi | avremo infangato | we will have dirtied |
| voi | avrete infangato | you (pl.) will have dirtied |
| loro | avranno infangato | they will have dirtied |
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 | infanghi |
| tu | infanghi |
| lui/lei | infanghi |
| noi | infanghiamo |
| voi | infanghiate |
| loro | infanghino |
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 | infangassi |
| tu | infangassi |
| lui/lei | infangasse |
| noi | infangassimo |
| voi | infangaste |
| loro | infangassero |
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 | infanga |
| lui/lei | infanghi |
| noi | infanghiamo |
| voi | infangate |
| loro | infanghino |
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 infangare |
| lui/lei | non infanghi |
| noi | non infanghiamo |
| voi | non infangate |
| loro | non infanghino |
