russare — Italian conjugation
to snore
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 | russo | I snore |
| tu | russi | you snore |
| lui/lei | russa | he/she/it snores |
| noi | russiamo | we snore |
| voi | russate | you (pl.) snore |
| loro | russano | they snore |
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 | russai | I snored |
| tu | russasti | you snored |
| lui/lei | russò | he/she/it snored |
| noi | russammo | we snored |
| voi | russaste | you (pl.) snored |
| loro | russarono | they snored |
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 | russavo |
| tu | russavi |
| lui/lei | russava |
| noi | russavamo |
| voi | russavate |
| loro | russavano |
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 | russerei | I would snore |
| tu | russeresti | you would snore |
| lui/lei | russerebbe | he/she/it would snore |
| noi | russeremmo | we would snore |
| voi | russereste | you (pl.) would snore |
| loro | russerebbero | they would snore |
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 | russerò | I will snore |
| tu | russerai | you will snore |
| lui/lei | russerà | he/she/it will snore |
| noi | russeremo | we will snore |
| voi | russerete | you (pl.) will snore |
| loro | russeranno | they will snore |
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 russato | I have snored |
| tu | hai russato | you have snored |
| lui/lei | ha russato | he/she/it has snored |
| noi | abbiamo russato | we have snored |
| voi | avete russato | you (pl.) have snored |
| loro | hanno russato | they have snored |
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 russato | I had snored |
| tu | avevi russato | you had snored |
| lui/lei | aveva russato | he/she/it had snored |
| noi | avevamo russato | we had snored |
| voi | avevate russato | you (pl.) had snored |
| loro | avevano russato | they had snored |
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 russato |
| tu | avresti russato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe russato |
| noi | avremmo russato |
| voi | avreste russato |
| loro | avrebbero russato |
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 russato | I will have snored |
| tu | avrai russato | you will have snored |
| lui/lei | avrà russato | he/she/it will have snored |
| noi | avremo russato | we will have snored |
| voi | avrete russato | you (pl.) will have snored |
| loro | avranno russato | they will have snored |
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 | russi |
| tu | russi |
| lui/lei | russi |
| noi | russiamo |
| voi | russiate |
| loro | russino |
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 | russassi |
| tu | russassi |
| lui/lei | russasse |
| noi | russassimo |
| voi | russaste |
| loro | russassero |
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 | russa |
| lui/lei | russi |
| noi | russiamo |
| voi | russate |
| loro | russino |
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 russare |
| lui/lei | non russi |
| noi | non russiamo |
| voi | non russate |
| loro | non russino |
