pomiciare — Italian conjugation
to make out, to kiss
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 | pomicio | I make out |
| tu | pomici | you make out |
| lui/lei | pomicia | he/she/it makes out |
| noi | pomiciamo | we make out |
| voi | pomiciate | you (pl.) make out |
| loro | pomiciano | they make out |
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 | pomiciai | I made out |
| tu | pomiciasti | you made out |
| lui/lei | pomiciò | he/she/it made out |
| noi | pomiciammo | we made out |
| voi | pomiciaste | you (pl.) made out |
| loro | pomiciarono | they made out |
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 | pomiciavo |
| tu | pomiciavi |
| lui/lei | pomiciava |
| noi | pomiciavamo |
| voi | pomiciavate |
| loro | pomiciavano |
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 | pomicerei | I would make out |
| tu | pomiceresti | you would make out |
| lui/lei | pomicerebbe | he/she/it would make out |
| noi | pomiceremmo | we would make out |
| voi | pomicereste | you (pl.) would make out |
| loro | pomicerebbero | they would make out |
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 | pomicerò | I will make out |
| tu | pomicerai | you will make out |
| lui/lei | pomicerà | he/she/it will make out |
| noi | pomiceremo | we will make out |
| voi | pomicerete | you (pl.) will make out |
| loro | pomiceranno | they will make out |
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 pomiciato | I have made out |
| tu | hai pomiciato | you have made out |
| lui/lei | ha pomiciato | he/she/it has made out |
| noi | abbiamo pomiciato | we have made out |
| voi | avete pomiciato | you (pl.) have made out |
| loro | hanno pomiciato | they have made out |
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 pomiciato | I had made out |
| tu | avevi pomiciato | you had made out |
| lui/lei | aveva pomiciato | he/she/it had made out |
| noi | avevamo pomiciato | we had made out |
| voi | avevate pomiciato | you (pl.) had made out |
| loro | avevano pomiciato | they had made out |
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 pomiciato |
| tu | avresti pomiciato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe pomiciato |
| noi | avremmo pomiciato |
| voi | avreste pomiciato |
| loro | avrebbero pomiciato |
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 pomiciato | I will have made out |
| tu | avrai pomiciato | you will have made out |
| lui/lei | avrà pomiciato | he/she/it will have made out |
| noi | avremo pomiciato | we will have made out |
| voi | avrete pomiciato | you (pl.) will have made out |
| loro | avranno pomiciato | they will have made out |
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 | pomici |
| tu | pomici |
| lui/lei | pomici |
| noi | pomiciamo |
| voi | pomiciate |
| loro | pomicino |
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 | pomiciassi |
| tu | pomiciassi |
| lui/lei | pomiciasse |
| noi | pomiciassimo |
| voi | pomiciaste |
| loro | pomiciassero |
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 | pomicia |
| lui/lei | pomici |
| noi | pomiciamo |
| voi | pomiciate |
| loro | pomicino |
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 pomiciare |
| lui/lei | non pomici |
| noi | non pomiciamo |
| voi | non pomiciate |
| loro | non pomicino |
