intralciare — Italian conjugation
to obstruct
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 | intralcio | I obstruct |
| tu | intralci | you obstruct |
| lui/lei | intralcia | he/she/it obstructs |
| noi | intralciamo | we obstruct |
| voi | intralciate | you (pl.) obstruct |
| loro | intralciano | they obstruct |
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 | intralciai | I obstructed |
| tu | intralciasti | you obstructed |
| lui/lei | intralciò | he/she/it obstructed |
| noi | intralciammo | we obstructed |
| voi | intralciaste | you (pl.) obstructed |
| loro | intralciarono | they obstructed |
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 | intralciavo |
| tu | intralciavi |
| lui/lei | intralciava |
| noi | intralciavamo |
| voi | intralciavate |
| loro | intralciavano |
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 | intralcerei | I would obstruct |
| tu | intralceresti | you would obstruct |
| lui/lei | intralcerebbe | he/she/it would obstruct |
| noi | intralceremmo | we would obstruct |
| voi | intralcereste | you (pl.) would obstruct |
| loro | intralcerebbero | they would obstruct |
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 | intralcerò | I will obstruct |
| tu | intralcerai | you will obstruct |
| lui/lei | intralcerà | he/she/it will obstruct |
| noi | intralceremo | we will obstruct |
| voi | intralcerete | you (pl.) will obstruct |
| loro | intralceranno | they will obstruct |
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 intralciato | I have obstructed |
| tu | hai intralciato | you have obstructed |
| lui/lei | ha intralciato | he/she/it has obstructed |
| noi | abbiamo intralciato | we have obstructed |
| voi | avete intralciato | you (pl.) have obstructed |
| loro | hanno intralciato | they have obstructed |
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 intralciato | I had obstructed |
| tu | avevi intralciato | you had obstructed |
| lui/lei | aveva intralciato | he/she/it had obstructed |
| noi | avevamo intralciato | we had obstructed |
| voi | avevate intralciato | you (pl.) had obstructed |
| loro | avevano intralciato | they had obstructed |
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 intralciato |
| tu | avresti intralciato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe intralciato |
| noi | avremmo intralciato |
| voi | avreste intralciato |
| loro | avrebbero intralciato |
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 intralciato | I will have obstructed |
| tu | avrai intralciato | you will have obstructed |
| lui/lei | avrà intralciato | he/she/it will have obstructed |
| noi | avremo intralciato | we will have obstructed |
| voi | avrete intralciato | you (pl.) will have obstructed |
| loro | avranno intralciato | they will have obstructed |
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 | intralci |
| tu | intralci |
| lui/lei | intralci |
| noi | intralciamo |
| voi | intralciate |
| loro | intralcino |
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 | intralciassi |
| tu | intralciassi |
| lui/lei | intralciasse |
| noi | intralciassimo |
| voi | intralciaste |
| loro | intralciassero |
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 | intralcia |
| lui/lei | intralci |
| noi | intralciamo |
| voi | intralciate |
| loro | intralcino |
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 intralciare |
| lui/lei | non intralci |
| noi | non intralciamo |
| voi | non intralciate |
| loro | non intralcino |
