radunare — Italian conjugation

to gather

Frequency#1001Regular

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.

PronounItalianEnglish
ioradunoI gather
turaduniyou gather
lui/leiradunahe/she/it gathers
noiraduniamowe gather
voiradunateyou (pl.) gather
lororadunanothey 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.

PronounItalianEnglish
ioradunaiI gathered
turadunastiyou gathered
lui/leiradunòhe/she/it gathered
noiradunammowe gathered
voiradunasteyou (pl.) gathered
lororadunaronothey 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.

PronounItalian
ioradunavo
turadunavi
lui/leiradunava
noiradunavamo
voiradunavate
lororadunavano

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?

PronounItalianEnglish
ioradunereiI would gather
turadunerestiyou would gather
lui/leiradunerebbehe/she/it would gather
noiraduneremmowe would gather
voiraduneresteyou (pl.) would gather
lororadunerebberothey 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.

PronounItalianEnglish
ioraduneròI will gather
turaduneraiyou will gather
lui/leiraduneràhe/she/it will gather
noiraduneremowe will gather
voiradunereteyou (pl.) will gather
lororadunerannothey 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.

PronounItalianEnglish
ioho radunatoI have gathered
tuhai radunatoyou have gathered
lui/leiha radunatohe/she/it has gathered
noiabbiamo radunatowe have gathered
voiavete radunatoyou (pl.) have gathered
lorohanno radunatothey 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.

PronounItalianEnglish
ioavevo radunatoI had gathered
tuavevi radunatoyou had gathered
lui/leiaveva radunatohe/she/it had gathered
noiavevamo radunatowe had gathered
voiavevate radunatoyou (pl.) had gathered
loroavevano radunatothey 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.

PronounItalian
ioavrei radunato
tuavresti radunato
lui/leiavrebbe radunato
noiavremmo radunato
voiavreste radunato
loroavrebbero radunato

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.

PronounItalianEnglish
ioavrò radunatoI will have gathered
tuavrai radunatoyou will have gathered
lui/leiavrà radunatohe/she/it will have gathered
noiavremo radunatowe will have gathered
voiavrete radunatoyou (pl.) will have gathered
loroavranno radunatothey 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.

PronounItalian
ioraduni
turaduni
lui/leiraduni
noiraduniamo
voiraduniate
lororadunino

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.

PronounItalian
ioradunassi
turadunassi
lui/leiradunasse
noiradunassimo
voiradunaste
lororadunassero

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.

PronounItalian
turaduna
lui/leiraduni
noiraduniamo
voiradunate
lororadunino

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.

PronounItalian
tunon radunare
lui/leinon raduni
noinon raduniamo
voinon radunate
loronon radunino
