scagionare — Italian conjugation

to exonerate (to free from accusation or blame)

Frequency#1468Regular

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.

PronounItalianEnglish
ioscagionoI exonerate
tuscagioniyou exonerate
lui/leiscagionahe/she/it exonerates
noiscagioniamowe exonerate
voiscagionateyou (pl.) exonerate
loroscagionanothey exonerate

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.

PronounItalianEnglish
ioscagionaiI exonerated
tuscagionastiyou exonerated
lui/leiscagionòhe/she/it exonerated
noiscagionammowe exonerated
voiscagionasteyou (pl.) exonerated
loroscagionaronothey exonerated

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.

PronounItalian
ioscagionavo
tuscagionavi
lui/leiscagionava
noiscagionavamo
voiscagionavate
loroscagionavano

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?

PronounItalianEnglish
ioscagionereiI would exonerate
tuscagionerestiyou would exonerate
lui/leiscagionerebbehe/she/it would exonerate
noiscagioneremmowe would exonerate
voiscagioneresteyou (pl.) would exonerate
loroscagionerebberothey would exonerate

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.

PronounItalianEnglish
ioscagioneròI will exonerate
tuscagioneraiyou will exonerate
lui/leiscagioneràhe/she/it will exonerate
noiscagioneremowe will exonerate
voiscagionereteyou (pl.) will exonerate
loroscagionerannothey will exonerate

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.

PronounItalianEnglish
ioho scagionatoI have exonerated
tuhai scagionatoyou have exonerated
lui/leiha scagionatohe/she/it has exonerated
noiabbiamo scagionatowe have exonerated
voiavete scagionatoyou (pl.) have exonerated
lorohanno scagionatothey have exonerated

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.

PronounItalianEnglish
ioavevo scagionatoI had exonerated
tuavevi scagionatoyou had exonerated
lui/leiaveva scagionatohe/she/it had exonerated
noiavevamo scagionatowe had exonerated
voiavevate scagionatoyou (pl.) had exonerated
loroavevano scagionatothey had exonerated

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.

PronounItalian
ioavrei scagionato
tuavresti scagionato
lui/leiavrebbe scagionato
noiavremmo scagionato
voiavreste scagionato
loroavrebbero scagionato

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.

PronounItalianEnglish
ioavrò scagionatoI will have exonerated
tuavrai scagionatoyou will have exonerated
lui/leiavrà scagionatohe/she/it will have exonerated
noiavremo scagionatowe will have exonerated
voiavrete scagionatoyou (pl.) will have exonerated
loroavranno scagionatothey will have exonerated

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.

PronounItalian
ioscagioni
tuscagioni
lui/leiscagioni
noiscagioniamo
voiscagioniate
loroscagionino

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.

PronounItalian
ioscagionassi
tuscagionassi
lui/leiscagionasse
noiscagionassimo
voiscagionaste
loroscagionassero

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.

PronounItalian
tuscagiona
lui/leiscagioni
noiscagioniamo
voiscagionate
loroscagionino

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.

PronounItalian
tunon scagionare
lui/leinon scagioni
noinon scagioniamo
voinon scagionate
loronon scagionino
