processare — Italian conjugation

to process

Frequency#464Regular

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	processo	I process
tu	processi	you process
lui/lei	processa	he/she/it processes
noi	processiamo	we process
voi	processate	you (pl.) process
loro	processano	they process

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	processai	I processed
tu	processasti	you processed
lui/lei	processò	he/she/it processed
noi	processammo	we processed
voi	processaste	you (pl.) processed
loro	processarono	they processed

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	processavo
tu	processavi
lui/lei	processava
noi	processavamo
voi	processavate
loro	processavano

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	processerei	I would process
tu	processeresti	you would process
lui/lei	processerebbe	he/she/it would process
noi	processeremmo	we would process
voi	processereste	you (pl.) would process
loro	processerebbero	they would process

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	processerò	I will process
tu	processerai	you will process
lui/lei	processerà	he/she/it will process
noi	processeremo	we will process
voi	processerete	you (pl.) will process
loro	processeranno	they will process

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 processato	I have processed
tu	hai processato	you have processed
lui/lei	ha processato	he/she/it has processed
noi	abbiamo processato	we have processed
voi	avete processato	you (pl.) have processed
loro	hanno processato	they have processed

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 processato	I had processed
tu	avevi processato	you had processed
lui/lei	aveva processato	he/she/it had processed
noi	avevamo processato	we had processed
voi	avevate processato	you (pl.) had processed
loro	avevano processato	they had processed

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 processato
tu	avresti processato
lui/lei	avrebbe processato
noi	avremmo processato
voi	avreste processato
loro	avrebbero processato

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 processato	I will have processed
tu	avrai processato	you will have processed
lui/lei	avrà processato	he/she/it will have processed
noi	avremo processato	we will have processed
voi	avrete processato	you (pl.) will have processed
loro	avranno processato	they will have processed

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	processi
tu	processi
lui/lei	processi
noi	processiamo
voi	processiate
loro	processino

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	processassi
tu	processassi
lui/lei	processasse
noi	processassimo
voi	processaste
loro	processassero

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	processa
lui/lei	processi
noi	processiamo
voi	processate
loro	processino

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 processare
lui/lei	non processi
noi	non processiamo
voi	non processate
loro	non processino
