infastidire — Italian conjugation

to annoy

Frequency#366Irregular

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.

ioinfastidiscoI annoy
tuinfastidisciyou annoy

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
ioinfastidiiI annoyed
tuinfastidistiyou annoyed

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
ioinfastidivo
tuinfastidivi
lui/leiinfastidiva
noiinfastidivamo
voiinfastidivate
loroinfastidivano

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
ioinfastidireiI would annoy
tuinfastidirestiyou would annoy
lui/leiinfastidirebbehe/she/it would annoy
noiinfastidiremmowe would annoy
voiinfastidiresteyou (pl.) would annoy
loroinfastidirebberothey would annoy

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
ioinfastidiròI will annoy
tuinfastidiraiyou will annoy
lui/leiinfastidiràhe/she/it will annoy
noiinfastidiremowe will annoy
voiinfastidireteyou (pl.) will annoy
loroinfastidirannothey will annoy

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 infastiditoI have annoyed
tuhai infastiditoyou have annoyed
lui/leiha infastiditohe/she/it has annoyed
noiabbiamo infastiditowe have annoyed
voiavete infastiditoyou (pl.) have annoyed
lorohanno infastiditothey have annoyed

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 infastiditoI had annoyed
tuavevi infastiditoyou had annoyed
lui/leiaveva infastiditohe/she/it had annoyed
noiavevamo infastiditowe had annoyed
voiavevate infastiditoyou (pl.) had annoyed
loroavevano infastiditothey had annoyed

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 infastidito
tuavresti infastidito
lui/leiavrebbe infastidito
noiavremmo infastidito
voiavreste infastidito
loroavrebbero infastidito

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 infastiditoI will have annoyed
tuavrai infastiditoyou will have annoyed
lui/leiavrà infastiditohe/she/it will have annoyed
noiavremo infastiditowe will have annoyed
voiavrete infastiditoyou (pl.) will have annoyed
loroavranno infastiditothey will have annoyed

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.

PronounItalian
ioinfastidisca
tuinfastidisca
lui/leiinfastidisca
noiinfastidiamo
voiinfastidiate
loroinfastidiscano

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
ioinfastidissi
tuinfastidissi
lui/leiinfastidisse
noiinfastidissimo
voiinfastidiste
loroinfastidissero

Other forms

Imperative (affirmative) (Imperativo) Irregular

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
tuinfastidisci
lui/leiinfastidisca
noiinfastidiamo
voiinfastidite
loroinfastidiscano

Imperative (negative) (Imperativo negativo) Irregular

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 infastidire
lui/leinon infastidisca
noinon infastidiamo
voinon infastidite
loronon infastidiscano
