trapelare — Italian conjugation
to leak
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 | trapelo | I leak |
| tu | trapeli | you leak |
| lui/lei | trapela | he/she/it leaks |
| noi | trapeliamo | we leak |
| voi | trapelate | you (pl.) leak |
| loro | trapelano | they leak |
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 | trapelai | I leaked |
| tu | trapelasti | you leaked |
| lui/lei | trapelò | he/she/it leaked |
| noi | trapelammo | we leaked |
| voi | trapelaste | you (pl.) leaked |
| loro | trapelarono | they leaked |
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 | trapelavo |
| tu | trapelavi |
| lui/lei | trapelava |
| noi | trapelavamo |
| voi | trapelavate |
| loro | trapelavano |
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 | trapelerei | I would leak |
| tu | trapeleresti | you would leak |
| lui/lei | trapelerebbe | he/she/it would leak |
| noi | trapeleremmo | we would leak |
| voi | trapelereste | you (pl.) would leak |
| loro | trapelerebbero | they would leak |
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 | trapelerò | I will leak |
| tu | trapelerai | you will leak |
| lui/lei | trapelerà | he/she/it will leak |
| noi | trapeleremo | we will leak |
| voi | trapelerete | you (pl.) will leak |
| loro | trapeleranno | they will leak |
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 | sono trapelato/a | I have leaked |
| tu | sei trapelato/a | you have leaked |
| lui/lei | è trapelato/a | he/she/it has leaked |
| noi | siamo trapelati/e | we have leaked |
| voi | siete trapelati/e | you (pl.) have leaked |
| loro | sono trapelati/e | they have leaked |
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 | ero trapelato/a | I had leaked |
| tu | eri trapelato/a | you had leaked |
| lui/lei | era trapelato/a | he/she/it had leaked |
| noi | eravamo trapelati/e | we had leaked |
| voi | eravate trapelati/e | you (pl.) had leaked |
| loro | erano trapelati/e | they had leaked |
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 | sarei trapelato/a |
| tu | saresti trapelato/a |
| lui/lei | sarebbe trapelato/a |
| noi | saremmo trapelati/e |
| voi | sareste trapelati/e |
| loro | sarebbero trapelati/e |
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 | sarò trapelato/a | I will have leaked |
| tu | sarai trapelato/a | you will have leaked |
| lui/lei | sarà trapelato/a | he/she/it will have leaked |
| noi | saremo trapelati/e | we will have leaked |
| voi | sarete trapelati/e | you (pl.) will have leaked |
| loro | saranno trapelati/e | they will have leaked |
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 | trapeli |
| tu | trapeli |
| lui/lei | trapeli |
| noi | trapeliamo |
| voi | trapeliate |
| loro | trapelino |
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 | trapelassi |
| tu | trapelassi |
| lui/lei | trapelasse |
| noi | trapelassimo |
| voi | trapelaste |
| loro | trapelassero |
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 | trapela |
| lui/lei | trapeli |
| noi | trapeliamo |
| voi | trapelate |
| loro | trapelino |
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 trapelare |
| lui/lei | non trapeli |
| noi | non trapeliamo |
| voi | non trapelate |
| loro | non trapelino |
