trotterellare — Italian conjugation
to jog
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 | trotterello | I jog |
| tu | trotterelli | you jog |
| lui/lei | trotterella | he/she/it jogs |
| noi | trotterelliamo | we jog |
| voi | trotterellate | you (pl.) jog |
| loro | trotterellano | they jog |
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 | trotterellai | I jogged |
| tu | trotterellasti | you jogged |
| lui/lei | trotterellò | he/she/it jogged |
| noi | trotterellammo | we jogged |
| voi | trotterellaste | you (pl.) jogged |
| loro | trotterellarono | they jogged |
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 | trotterellavo |
| tu | trotterellavi |
| lui/lei | trotterellava |
| noi | trotterellavamo |
| voi | trotterellavate |
| loro | trotterellavano |
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 | trotterellerei | I would jog |
| tu | trotterelleresti | you would jog |
| lui/lei | trotterellerebbe | he/she/it would jog |
| noi | trotterelleremmo | we would jog |
| voi | trotterellereste | you (pl.) would jog |
| loro | trotterellerebbero | they would jog |
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 | trotterellerò | I will jog |
| tu | trotterellerai | you will jog |
| lui/lei | trotterellerà | he/she/it will jog |
| noi | trotterelleremo | we will jog |
| voi | trotterellerete | you (pl.) will jog |
| loro | trotterelleranno | they will jog |
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 trotterellato | I have jogged |
| tu | hai trotterellato | you have jogged |
| lui/lei | ha trotterellato | he/she/it has jogged |
| noi | abbiamo trotterellato | we have jogged |
| voi | avete trotterellato | you (pl.) have jogged |
| loro | hanno trotterellato | they have jogged |
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 trotterellato | I had jogged |
| tu | avevi trotterellato | you had jogged |
| lui/lei | aveva trotterellato | he/she/it had jogged |
| noi | avevamo trotterellato | we had jogged |
| voi | avevate trotterellato | you (pl.) had jogged |
| loro | avevano trotterellato | they had jogged |
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 trotterellato |
| tu | avresti trotterellato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe trotterellato |
| noi | avremmo trotterellato |
| voi | avreste trotterellato |
| loro | avrebbero trotterellato |
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 trotterellato | I will have jogged |
| tu | avrai trotterellato | you will have jogged |
| lui/lei | avrà trotterellato | he/she/it will have jogged |
| noi | avremo trotterellato | we will have jogged |
| voi | avrete trotterellato | you (pl.) will have jogged |
| loro | avranno trotterellato | they will have jogged |
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 | trotterelli |
| tu | trotterelli |
| lui/lei | trotterelli |
| noi | trotterelliamo |
| voi | trotterelliate |
| loro | trotterellino |
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 | trotterellassi |
| tu | trotterellassi |
| lui/lei | trotterellasse |
| noi | trotterellassimo |
| voi | trotterellaste |
| loro | trotterellassero |
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 | trotterella |
| lui/lei | trotterelli |
| noi | trotterelliamo |
| voi | trotterellate |
| loro | trotterellino |
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 trotterellare |
| lui/lei | non trotterelli |
| noi | non trotterelliamo |
| voi | non trotterellate |
| loro | non trotterellino |
