rivangare — Italian conjugation
to revive
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 | rivango | I revive |
| tu | rivanghi | you revive |
| lui/lei | rivanga | he/she/it revives |
| noi | rivanghiamo | we revive |
| voi | rivangate | you (pl.) revive |
| loro | rivangano | they revive |
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 | rivangai | I revived |
| tu | rivangasti | you revived |
| lui/lei | rivangò | he/she/it revived |
| noi | rivangammo | we revived |
| voi | rivangaste | you (pl.) revived |
| loro | rivangarono | they revived |
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 | rivangavo |
| tu | rivangavi |
| lui/lei | rivangava |
| noi | rivangavamo |
| voi | rivangavate |
| loro | rivangavano |
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 | rivangherei | I would revive |
| tu | rivangheresti | you would revive |
| lui/lei | rivangherebbe | he/she/it would revive |
| noi | rivangheremmo | we would revive |
| voi | rivanghereste | you (pl.) would revive |
| loro | rivangherebbero | they would revive |
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 | rivangherò | I will revive |
| tu | rivangherai | you will revive |
| lui/lei | rivangherà | he/she/it will revive |
| noi | rivangheremo | we will revive |
| voi | rivangherete | you (pl.) will revive |
| loro | rivangheranno | they will revive |
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 rivangato | I have revived |
| tu | hai rivangato | you have revived |
| lui/lei | ha rivangato | he/she/it has revived |
| noi | abbiamo rivangato | we have revived |
| voi | avete rivangato | you (pl.) have revived |
| loro | hanno rivangato | they have revived |
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 rivangato | I had revived |
| tu | avevi rivangato | you had revived |
| lui/lei | aveva rivangato | he/she/it had revived |
| noi | avevamo rivangato | we had revived |
| voi | avevate rivangato | you (pl.) had revived |
| loro | avevano rivangato | they had revived |
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 rivangato |
| tu | avresti rivangato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe rivangato |
| noi | avremmo rivangato |
| voi | avreste rivangato |
| loro | avrebbero rivangato |
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 rivangato | I will have revived |
| tu | avrai rivangato | you will have revived |
| lui/lei | avrà rivangato | he/she/it will have revived |
| noi | avremo rivangato | we will have revived |
| voi | avrete rivangato | you (pl.) will have revived |
| loro | avranno rivangato | they will have revived |
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 | rivanghi |
| tu | rivanghi |
| lui/lei | rivanghi |
| noi | rivanghiamo |
| voi | rivanghiate |
| loro | rivanghino |
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 | rivangassi |
| tu | rivangassi |
| lui/lei | rivangasse |
| noi | rivangassimo |
| voi | rivangaste |
| loro | rivangassero |
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 | rivanga |
| lui/lei | rivanghi |
| noi | rivanghiamo |
| voi | rivangate |
| loro | rivanghino |
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 rivangare |
| lui/lei | non rivanghi |
| noi | non rivanghiamo |
| voi | non rivangate |
| loro | non rivanghino |
