ricreare — Italian conjugation
to recreate (create anew)
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 | ricreo | I recreate |
| tu | ricrei | you recreate |
| lui/lei | ricrea | he/she/it recreates |
| noi | ricreiamo | we recreate |
| voi | ricreate | you (pl.) recreate |
| loro | ricreano | they recreate |
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 | ricreai | I recreated |
| tu | ricreasti | you recreated |
| lui/lei | ricreò | he/she/it recreated |
| noi | ricreammo | we recreated |
| voi | ricreaste | you (pl.) recreated |
| loro | ricrearono | they recreated |
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 | ricreavo |
| tu | ricreavi |
| lui/lei | ricreava |
| noi | ricreavamo |
| voi | ricreavate |
| loro | ricreavano |
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 | ricreerei | I would recreate |
| tu | ricreeresti | you would recreate |
| lui/lei | ricreerebbe | he/she/it would recreate |
| noi | ricreeremmo | we would recreate |
| voi | ricreereste | you (pl.) would recreate |
| loro | ricreerebbero | they would recreate |
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 | ricreerò | I will recreate |
| tu | ricreerai | you will recreate |
| lui/lei | ricreerà | he/she/it will recreate |
| noi | ricreeremo | we will recreate |
| voi | ricreerete | you (pl.) will recreate |
| loro | ricreeranno | they will recreate |
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 ricreato | I have recreated |
| tu | hai ricreato | you have recreated |
| lui/lei | ha ricreato | he/she/it has recreated |
| noi | abbiamo ricreato | we have recreated |
| voi | avete ricreato | you (pl.) have recreated |
| loro | hanno ricreato | they have recreated |
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 ricreato | I had recreated |
| tu | avevi ricreato | you had recreated |
| lui/lei | aveva ricreato | he/she/it had recreated |
| noi | avevamo ricreato | we had recreated |
| voi | avevate ricreato | you (pl.) had recreated |
| loro | avevano ricreato | they had recreated |
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 ricreato |
| tu | avresti ricreato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe ricreato |
| noi | avremmo ricreato |
| voi | avreste ricreato |
| loro | avrebbero ricreato |
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 ricreato | I will have recreated |
| tu | avrai ricreato | you will have recreated |
| lui/lei | avrà ricreato | he/she/it will have recreated |
| noi | avremo ricreato | we will have recreated |
| voi | avrete ricreato | you (pl.) will have recreated |
| loro | avranno ricreato | they will have recreated |
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 | ricrei |
| tu | ricrei |
| lui/lei | ricrei |
| noi | ricreiamo |
| voi | ricreiate |
| loro | ricreino |
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 | ricreassi |
| tu | ricreassi |
| lui/lei | ricreasse |
| noi | ricreassimo |
| voi | ricreaste |
| loro | ricreassero |
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 | ricrea |
| lui/lei | ricrei |
| noi | ricreiamo |
| voi | ricreate |
| loro | ricreino |
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 ricreare |
| lui/lei | non ricrei |
| noi | non ricreiamo |
| voi | non ricreate |
| loro | non ricreino |
