rimboschire — Italian conjugation
to reforest
Indicative
Present (Presente) Irregular
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 | rimboschisco | I reforest |
| tu | rimboschisci | you reforest |
| lui/lei | rimboschisce | he/she/it reforests |
| noi | rimboschiamo | we reforest |
| voi | rimboschite | you (pl.) reforest |
| loro | rimboschiscono | they reforest |
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 | rimboschii | I reforested |
| tu | rimboschisti | you reforested |
| lui/lei | rimboschì | he/she/it reforested |
| noi | rimboschimmo | we reforested |
| voi | rimboschiste | you (pl.) reforested |
| loro | rimboschirono | they reforested |
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 | rimboschivo |
| tu | rimboschivi |
| lui/lei | rimboschiva |
| noi | rimboschivamo |
| voi | rimboschivate |
| loro | rimboschivano |
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 | rimboschirei | I would reforest |
| tu | rimboschiresti | you would reforest |
| lui/lei | rimboschirebbe | he/she/it would reforest |
| noi | rimboschiremmo | we would reforest |
| voi | rimboschireste | you (pl.) would reforest |
| loro | rimboschirebbero | they would reforest |
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 | rimboschirò | I will reforest |
| tu | rimboschirai | you will reforest |
| lui/lei | rimboschirà | he/she/it will reforest |
| noi | rimboschiremo | we will reforest |
| voi | rimboschirete | you (pl.) will reforest |
| loro | rimboschiranno | they will reforest |
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 rimboschito | I have reforested |
| tu | hai rimboschito | you have reforested |
| lui/lei | ha rimboschito | he/she/it has reforested |
| noi | abbiamo rimboschito | we have reforested |
| voi | avete rimboschito | you (pl.) have reforested |
| loro | hanno rimboschito | they have reforested |
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 rimboschito | I had reforested |
| tu | avevi rimboschito | you had reforested |
| lui/lei | aveva rimboschito | he/she/it had reforested |
| noi | avevamo rimboschito | we had reforested |
| voi | avevate rimboschito | you (pl.) had reforested |
| loro | avevano rimboschito | they had reforested |
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 rimboschito |
| tu | avresti rimboschito |
| lui/lei | avrebbe rimboschito |
| noi | avremmo rimboschito |
| voi | avreste rimboschito |
| loro | avrebbero rimboschito |
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 rimboschito | I will have reforested |
| tu | avrai rimboschito | you will have reforested |
| lui/lei | avrà rimboschito | he/she/it will have reforested |
| noi | avremo rimboschito | we will have reforested |
| voi | avrete rimboschito | you (pl.) will have reforested |
| loro | avranno rimboschito | they will have reforested |
Subjunctive
Present subjunctive (Congiuntivo presente) Irregular
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 | rimboschisca |
| tu | rimboschisca |
| lui/lei | rimboschisca |
| noi | rimboschiamo |
| voi | rimboschiate |
| loro | rimboschiscano |
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 | rimboschissi |
| tu | rimboschissi |
| lui/lei | rimboschisse |
| noi | rimboschissimo |
| voi | rimboschiste |
| loro | rimboschissero |
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 | rimboschisci |
| lui/lei | rimboschisca |
| noi | rimboschiamo |
| voi | rimboschite |
| loro | rimboschiscano |
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 rimboschire |
| lui/lei | non rimboschisca |
| noi | non rimboschiamo |
| voi | non rimboschite |
| loro | non rimboschiscano |
