riesumare — Italian conjugation
to resurrect
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 | riesumo | I resurrect |
| tu | riesumi | you resurrect |
| lui/lei | riesuma | he/she/it resurrects |
| noi | riesumiamo | we resurrect |
| voi | riesumate | you (pl.) resurrect |
| loro | riesumano | they resurrect |
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 | riesumai | I resurrected |
| tu | riesumasti | you resurrected |
| lui/lei | riesumò | he/she/it resurrected |
| noi | riesumammo | we resurrected |
| voi | riesumaste | you (pl.) resurrected |
| loro | riesumarono | they resurrected |
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 | riesumavo |
| tu | riesumavi |
| lui/lei | riesumava |
| noi | riesumavamo |
| voi | riesumavate |
| loro | riesumavano |
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 | riesumerei | I would resurrect |
| tu | riesumeresti | you would resurrect |
| lui/lei | riesumerebbe | he/she/it would resurrect |
| noi | riesumeremmo | we would resurrect |
| voi | riesumereste | you (pl.) would resurrect |
| loro | riesumerebbero | they would resurrect |
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 | riesumerò | I will resurrect |
| tu | riesumerai | you will resurrect |
| lui/lei | riesumerà | he/she/it will resurrect |
| noi | riesumeremo | we will resurrect |
| voi | riesumerete | you (pl.) will resurrect |
| loro | riesumeranno | they will resurrect |
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 riesumato | I have resurrected |
| tu | hai riesumato | you have resurrected |
| lui/lei | ha riesumato | he/she/it has resurrected |
| noi | abbiamo riesumato | we have resurrected |
| voi | avete riesumato | you (pl.) have resurrected |
| loro | hanno riesumato | they have resurrected |
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 riesumato | I had resurrected |
| tu | avevi riesumato | you had resurrected |
| lui/lei | aveva riesumato | he/she/it had resurrected |
| noi | avevamo riesumato | we had resurrected |
| voi | avevate riesumato | you (pl.) had resurrected |
| loro | avevano riesumato | they had resurrected |
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 riesumato |
| tu | avresti riesumato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe riesumato |
| noi | avremmo riesumato |
| voi | avreste riesumato |
| loro | avrebbero riesumato |
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 riesumato | I will have resurrected |
| tu | avrai riesumato | you will have resurrected |
| lui/lei | avrà riesumato | he/she/it will have resurrected |
| noi | avremo riesumato | we will have resurrected |
| voi | avrete riesumato | you (pl.) will have resurrected |
| loro | avranno riesumato | they will have resurrected |
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 | riesumi |
| tu | riesumi |
| lui/lei | riesumi |
| noi | riesumiamo |
| voi | riesumiate |
| loro | riesumino |
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 | riesumassi |
| tu | riesumassi |
| lui/lei | riesumasse |
| noi | riesumassimo |
| voi | riesumaste |
| loro | riesumassero |
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 | riesuma |
| lui/lei | riesumi |
| noi | riesumiamo |
| voi | riesumate |
| loro | riesumino |
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 riesumare |
| lui/lei | non riesumi |
| noi | non riesumiamo |
| voi | non riesumate |
| loro | non riesumino |
