maturare — Italian conjugation
to mature
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 | maturo | I mature |
| tu | maturi | you mature |
| lui/lei | matura | he/she/it matures |
| noi | maturiamo | we mature |
| voi | maturate | you (pl.) mature |
| loro | maturano | they mature |
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 | maturai | I matured |
| tu | maturasti | you matured |
| lui/lei | maturò | he/she/it matured |
| noi | maturammo | we matured |
| voi | maturaste | you (pl.) matured |
| loro | maturarono | they matured |
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 | maturavo |
| tu | maturavi |
| lui/lei | maturava |
| noi | maturavamo |
| voi | maturavate |
| loro | maturavano |
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 | maturerei | I would mature |
| tu | matureresti | you would mature |
| lui/lei | maturerebbe | he/she/it would mature |
| noi | matureremmo | we would mature |
| voi | maturereste | you (pl.) would mature |
| loro | maturerebbero | they would mature |
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 | maturerò | I will mature |
| tu | maturerai | you will mature |
| lui/lei | maturerà | he/she/it will mature |
| noi | matureremo | we will mature |
| voi | maturerete | you (pl.) will mature |
| loro | matureranno | they will mature |
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 | sono maturato/a | I have matured |
| tu | sei maturato/a | you have matured |
| lui/lei | è maturato/a | he/she/it has matured |
| noi | siamo maturati/e | we have matured |
| voi | siete maturati/e | you (pl.) have matured |
| loro | sono maturati/e | they have matured |
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 | ero maturato/a | I had matured |
| tu | eri maturato/a | you had matured |
| lui/lei | era maturato/a | he/she/it had matured |
| noi | eravamo maturati/e | we had matured |
| voi | eravate maturati/e | you (pl.) had matured |
| loro | erano maturati/e | they had matured |
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 | sarei maturato/a |
| tu | saresti maturato/a |
| lui/lei | sarebbe maturato/a |
| noi | saremmo maturati/e |
| voi | sareste maturati/e |
| loro | sarebbero maturati/e |
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 | sarò maturato/a | I will have matured |
| tu | sarai maturato/a | you will have matured |
| lui/lei | sarà maturato/a | he/she/it will have matured |
| noi | saremo maturati/e | we will have matured |
| voi | sarete maturati/e | you (pl.) will have matured |
| loro | saranno maturati/e | they will have matured |
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 | maturi |
| tu | maturi |
| lui/lei | maturi |
| noi | maturiamo |
| voi | maturiate |
| loro | maturino |
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 | maturassi |
| tu | maturassi |
| lui/lei | maturasse |
| noi | maturassimo |
| voi | maturaste |
| loro | maturassero |
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 | matura |
| lui/lei | maturi |
| noi | maturiamo |
| voi | maturate |
| loro | maturino |
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 maturare |
| lui/lei | non maturi |
| noi | non maturiamo |
| voi | non maturate |
| loro | non maturino |
