rilasciare — Italian conjugation

to release

Frequency#454Regular

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
iorilascioI release
turilasciyou release
lui/leirilasciahe/she/it releases
noirilasciamowe release
voirilasciateyou (pl.) release
lororilascianothey release

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
iorilasciaiI released
turilasciastiyou released
lui/leirilasciòhe/she/it released
noirilasciammowe released
voirilasciasteyou (pl.) released
lororilasciaronothey released

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
iorilasciavo
turilasciavi
lui/leirilasciava
noirilasciavamo
voirilasciavate
lororilasciavano

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
iorilascereiI would release
turilascerestiyou would release
lui/leirilascerebbehe/she/it would release
noirilasceremmowe would release
voirilasceresteyou (pl.) would release
lororilascerebberothey would release

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
iorilasceròI will release
turilasceraiyou will release
lui/leirilasceràhe/she/it will release
noirilasceremowe will release
voirilascereteyou (pl.) will release
lororilascerannothey will release

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 rilasciatoI have released
tuhai rilasciatoyou have released
lui/leiha rilasciatohe/she/it has released
noiabbiamo rilasciatowe have released
voiavete rilasciatoyou (pl.) have released
lorohanno rilasciatothey have released

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 rilasciatoI had released
tuavevi rilasciatoyou had released
lui/leiaveva rilasciatohe/she/it had released
noiavevamo rilasciatowe had released
voiavevate rilasciatoyou (pl.) had released
loroavevano rilasciatothey had released

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 rilasciato
tuavresti rilasciato
lui/leiavrebbe rilasciato
noiavremmo rilasciato
voiavreste rilasciato
loroavrebbero rilasciato

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 rilasciatoI will have released
tuavrai rilasciatoyou will have released
lui/leiavrà rilasciatohe/she/it will have released
noiavremo rilasciatowe will have released
voiavrete rilasciatoyou (pl.) will have released
loroavranno rilasciatothey will have released

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
iorilasci
turilasci
lui/leirilasci
noirilasciamo
voirilasciate
lororilascino

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
iorilasciassi
turilasciassi
lui/leirilasciasse
noirilasciassimo
voirilasciaste
lororilasciassero

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
turilascia
lui/leirilasci
noirilasciamo
voirilasciate
lororilascino

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 rilasciare
lui/leinon rilasci
noinon rilasciamo
voinon rilasciate
loronon rilascino
