rimediare — Italian conjugation
to remedy
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 | rimedio | I remedy |
| tu | rimedi | you remedy |
| lui/lei | rimedia | he/she/it remedies |
| noi | rimediamo | we remedy |
| voi | rimediate | you (pl.) remedy |
| loro | rimediano | they remedy |
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 | rimediai | I remedied |
| tu | rimediasti | you remedied |
| lui/lei | rimediò | he/she/it remedied |
| noi | rimediammo | we remedied |
| voi | rimediaste | you (pl.) remedied |
| loro | rimediarono | they remedied |
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 | rimediavo |
| tu | rimediavi |
| lui/lei | rimediava |
| noi | rimediavamo |
| voi | rimediavate |
| loro | rimediavano |
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 | rimedierei | I would remedy |
| tu | rimedieresti | you would remedy |
| lui/lei | rimedierebbe | he/she/it would remedy |
| noi | rimedieremmo | we would remedy |
| voi | rimediereste | you (pl.) would remedy |
| loro | rimedierebbero | they would remedy |
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 | rimedierò | I will remedy |
| tu | rimedierai | you will remedy |
| lui/lei | rimedierà | he/she/it will remedy |
| noi | rimedieremo | we will remedy |
| voi | rimedierete | you (pl.) will remedy |
| loro | rimedieranno | they will remedy |
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 rimediato | I have remedied |
| tu | hai rimediato | you have remedied |
| lui/lei | ha rimediato | he/she/it has remedied |
| noi | abbiamo rimediato | we have remedied |
| voi | avete rimediato | you (pl.) have remedied |
| loro | hanno rimediato | they have remedied |
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 rimediato | I had remedied |
| tu | avevi rimediato | you had remedied |
| lui/lei | aveva rimediato | he/she/it had remedied |
| noi | avevamo rimediato | we had remedied |
| voi | avevate rimediato | you (pl.) had remedied |
| loro | avevano rimediato | they had remedied |
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 rimediato |
| tu | avresti rimediato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe rimediato |
| noi | avremmo rimediato |
| voi | avreste rimediato |
| loro | avrebbero rimediato |
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 rimediato | I will have remedied |
| tu | avrai rimediato | you will have remedied |
| lui/lei | avrà rimediato | he/she/it will have remedied |
| noi | avremo rimediato | we will have remedied |
| voi | avrete rimediato | you (pl.) will have remedied |
| loro | avranno rimediato | they will have remedied |
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 | rimedi |
| tu | rimedi |
| lui/lei | rimedi |
| noi | rimediamo |
| voi | rimediate |
| loro | rimedino |
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 | rimediassi |
| tu | rimediassi |
| lui/lei | rimediasse |
| noi | rimediassimo |
| voi | rimediaste |
| loro | rimediassero |
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 | rimedia |
| lui/lei | rimedi |
| noi | rimediamo |
| voi | rimediate |
| loro | rimedino |
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 rimediare |
| lui/lei | non rimedi |
| noi | non rimediamo |
| voi | non rimediate |
| loro | non rimedino |
