stanare — Italian conjugation
to flush out
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 | stano | I flush out |
| tu | stani | you flush out |
| lui/lei | stana | he/she/it flushes out |
| noi | staniamo | we flush out |
| voi | stanate | you (pl.) flush out |
| loro | stanano | they flush out |
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 | stanai | I flushed out |
| tu | stanasti | you flushed out |
| lui/lei | stanò | he/she/it flushed out |
| noi | stanammo | we flushed out |
| voi | stanaste | you (pl.) flushed out |
| loro | stanarono | they flushed out |
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 | stanavo |
| tu | stanavi |
| lui/lei | stanava |
| noi | stanavamo |
| voi | stanavate |
| loro | stanavano |
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 | stanerei | I would flush out |
| tu | staneresti | you would flush out |
| lui/lei | stanerebbe | he/she/it would flush out |
| noi | staneremmo | we would flush out |
| voi | stanereste | you (pl.) would flush out |
| loro | stanerebbero | they would flush out |
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 | stanerò | I will flush out |
| tu | stanerai | you will flush out |
| lui/lei | stanerà | he/she/it will flush out |
| noi | staneremo | we will flush out |
| voi | stanerete | you (pl.) will flush out |
| loro | staneranno | they will flush out |
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 stanato | I have flushed out |
| tu | hai stanato | you have flushed out |
| lui/lei | ha stanato | he/she/it has flushed out |
| noi | abbiamo stanato | we have flushed out |
| voi | avete stanato | you (pl.) have flushed out |
| loro | hanno stanato | they have flushed out |
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 stanato | I had flushed out |
| tu | avevi stanato | you had flushed out |
| lui/lei | aveva stanato | he/she/it had flushed out |
| noi | avevamo stanato | we had flushed out |
| voi | avevate stanato | you (pl.) had flushed out |
| loro | avevano stanato | they had flushed out |
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 stanato |
| tu | avresti stanato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe stanato |
| noi | avremmo stanato |
| voi | avreste stanato |
| loro | avrebbero stanato |
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 stanato | I will have flushed out |
| tu | avrai stanato | you will have flushed out |
| lui/lei | avrà stanato | he/she/it will have flushed out |
| noi | avremo stanato | we will have flushed out |
| voi | avrete stanato | you (pl.) will have flushed out |
| loro | avranno stanato | they will have flushed out |
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 | stani |
| tu | stani |
| lui/lei | stani |
| noi | staniamo |
| voi | staniate |
| loro | stanino |
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 | stanassi |
| tu | stanassi |
| lui/lei | stanasse |
| noi | stanassimo |
| voi | stanaste |
| loro | stanassero |
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 | stana |
| lui/lei | stani |
| noi | staniamo |
| voi | stanate |
| loro | stanino |
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 stanare |
| lui/lei | non stani |
| noi | non staniamo |
| voi | non stanate |
| loro | non stanino |
