rimborsare — Italian conjugation
to refund
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 | rimborso | I refund |
| tu | rimborsi | you refund |
| lui/lei | rimborsa | he/she/it refunds |
| noi | rimborsiamo | we refund |
| voi | rimborsate | you (pl.) refund |
| loro | rimborsano | they refund |
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 | rimborsai | I refunded |
| tu | rimborsasti | you refunded |
| lui/lei | rimborsò | he/she/it refunded |
| noi | rimborsammo | we refunded |
| voi | rimborsaste | you (pl.) refunded |
| loro | rimborsarono | they refunded |
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 | rimborsavo |
| tu | rimborsavi |
| lui/lei | rimborsava |
| noi | rimborsavamo |
| voi | rimborsavate |
| loro | rimborsavano |
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 | rimborserei | I would refund |
| tu | rimborseresti | you would refund |
| lui/lei | rimborserebbe | he/she/it would refund |
| noi | rimborseremmo | we would refund |
| voi | rimborsereste | you (pl.) would refund |
| loro | rimborserebbero | they would refund |
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 | rimborserò | I will refund |
| tu | rimborserai | you will refund |
| lui/lei | rimborserà | he/she/it will refund |
| noi | rimborseremo | we will refund |
| voi | rimborserete | you (pl.) will refund |
| loro | rimborseranno | they will refund |
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 rimborsato | I have refunded |
| tu | hai rimborsato | you have refunded |
| lui/lei | ha rimborsato | he/she/it has refunded |
| noi | abbiamo rimborsato | we have refunded |
| voi | avete rimborsato | you (pl.) have refunded |
| loro | hanno rimborsato | they have refunded |
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 rimborsato | I had refunded |
| tu | avevi rimborsato | you had refunded |
| lui/lei | aveva rimborsato | he/she/it had refunded |
| noi | avevamo rimborsato | we had refunded |
| voi | avevate rimborsato | you (pl.) had refunded |
| loro | avevano rimborsato | they had refunded |
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 rimborsato |
| tu | avresti rimborsato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe rimborsato |
| noi | avremmo rimborsato |
| voi | avreste rimborsato |
| loro | avrebbero rimborsato |
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 rimborsato | I will have refunded |
| tu | avrai rimborsato | you will have refunded |
| lui/lei | avrà rimborsato | he/she/it will have refunded |
| noi | avremo rimborsato | we will have refunded |
| voi | avrete rimborsato | you (pl.) will have refunded |
| loro | avranno rimborsato | they will have refunded |
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 | rimborsi |
| tu | rimborsi |
| lui/lei | rimborsi |
| noi | rimborsiamo |
| voi | rimborsiate |
| loro | rimborsino |
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 | rimborsassi |
| tu | rimborsassi |
| lui/lei | rimborsasse |
| noi | rimborsassimo |
| voi | rimborsaste |
| loro | rimborsassero |
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 | rimborsa |
| lui/lei | rimborsi |
| noi | rimborsiamo |
| voi | rimborsate |
| loro | rimborsino |
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 rimborsare |
| lui/lei | non rimborsi |
| noi | non rimborsiamo |
| voi | non rimborsate |
| loro | non rimborsino |
