racimolare — Italian conjugation
to gather
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 | racimolo | I gather |
| tu | racimoli | you gather |
| lui/lei | racimola | he/she/it gathers |
| noi | racimoliamo | we gather |
| voi | racimolate | you (pl.) gather |
| loro | racimolano | they gather |
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 | racimolai | I gathered |
| tu | racimolasti | you gathered |
| lui/lei | racimolò | he/she/it gathered |
| noi | racimolammo | we gathered |
| voi | racimolaste | you (pl.) gathered |
| loro | racimolarono | they gathered |
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 | racimolavo |
| tu | racimolavi |
| lui/lei | racimolava |
| noi | racimolavamo |
| voi | racimolavate |
| loro | racimolavano |
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 | racimolerei | I would gather |
| tu | racimoleresti | you would gather |
| lui/lei | racimolerebbe | he/she/it would gather |
| noi | racimoleremmo | we would gather |
| voi | racimolereste | you (pl.) would gather |
| loro | racimolerebbero | they would gather |
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 | racimolerò | I will gather |
| tu | racimolerai | you will gather |
| lui/lei | racimolerà | he/she/it will gather |
| noi | racimoleremo | we will gather |
| voi | racimolerete | you (pl.) will gather |
| loro | racimoleranno | they will gather |
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 racimolato | I have gathered |
| tu | hai racimolato | you have gathered |
| lui/lei | ha racimolato | he/she/it has gathered |
| noi | abbiamo racimolato | we have gathered |
| voi | avete racimolato | you (pl.) have gathered |
| loro | hanno racimolato | they have gathered |
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 racimolato | I had gathered |
| tu | avevi racimolato | you had gathered |
| lui/lei | aveva racimolato | he/she/it had gathered |
| noi | avevamo racimolato | we had gathered |
| voi | avevate racimolato | you (pl.) had gathered |
| loro | avevano racimolato | they had gathered |
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 racimolato |
| tu | avresti racimolato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe racimolato |
| noi | avremmo racimolato |
| voi | avreste racimolato |
| loro | avrebbero racimolato |
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 racimolato | I will have gathered |
| tu | avrai racimolato | you will have gathered |
| lui/lei | avrà racimolato | he/she/it will have gathered |
| noi | avremo racimolato | we will have gathered |
| voi | avrete racimolato | you (pl.) will have gathered |
| loro | avranno racimolato | they will have gathered |
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 | racimoli |
| tu | racimoli |
| lui/lei | racimoli |
| noi | racimoliamo |
| voi | racimoliate |
| loro | racimolino |
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 | racimolassi |
| tu | racimolassi |
| lui/lei | racimolasse |
| noi | racimolassimo |
| voi | racimolaste |
| loro | racimolassero |
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 | racimola |
| lui/lei | racimoli |
| noi | racimoliamo |
| voi | racimolate |
| loro | racimolino |
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 racimolare |
| lui/lei | non racimoli |
| noi | non racimoliamo |
| voi | non racimolate |
| loro | non racimolino |
