urinare — Italian conjugation
to urinate
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 | urino | I urinate |
| tu | urini | you urinate |
| lui/lei | urina | he/she/it urinates |
| noi | uriniamo | we urinate |
| voi | urinate | you (pl.) urinate |
| loro | urinano | they urinate |
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 | urinai | I urinated |
| tu | urinasti | you urinated |
| lui/lei | urinò | he/she/it urinated |
| noi | urinammo | we urinated |
| voi | urinaste | you (pl.) urinated |
| loro | urinarono | they urinated |
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 | urinavo |
| tu | urinavi |
| lui/lei | urinava |
| noi | urinavamo |
| voi | urinavate |
| loro | urinavano |
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 | urinerei | I would urinate |
| tu | urineresti | you would urinate |
| lui/lei | urinerebbe | he/she/it would urinate |
| noi | urineremmo | we would urinate |
| voi | urinereste | you (pl.) would urinate |
| loro | urinerebbero | they would urinate |
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 | urinerò | I will urinate |
| tu | urinerai | you will urinate |
| lui/lei | urinerà | he/she/it will urinate |
| noi | urineremo | we will urinate |
| voi | urinerete | you (pl.) will urinate |
| loro | urineranno | they will urinate |
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 urinato | I have urinated |
| tu | hai urinato | you have urinated |
| lui/lei | ha urinato | he/she/it has urinated |
| noi | abbiamo urinato | we have urinated |
| voi | avete urinato | you (pl.) have urinated |
| loro | hanno urinato | they have urinated |
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 urinato | I had urinated |
| tu | avevi urinato | you had urinated |
| lui/lei | aveva urinato | he/she/it had urinated |
| noi | avevamo urinato | we had urinated |
| voi | avevate urinato | you (pl.) had urinated |
| loro | avevano urinato | they had urinated |
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 urinato |
| tu | avresti urinato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe urinato |
| noi | avremmo urinato |
| voi | avreste urinato |
| loro | avrebbero urinato |
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 urinato | I will have urinated |
| tu | avrai urinato | you will have urinated |
| lui/lei | avrà urinato | he/she/it will have urinated |
| noi | avremo urinato | we will have urinated |
| voi | avrete urinato | you (pl.) will have urinated |
| loro | avranno urinato | they will have urinated |
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 | urini |
| tu | urini |
| lui/lei | urini |
| noi | uriniamo |
| voi | uriniate |
| loro | urinino |
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 | urinassi |
| tu | urinassi |
| lui/lei | urinasse |
| noi | urinassimo |
| voi | urinaste |
| loro | urinassero |
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 | urina |
| lui/lei | urini |
| noi | uriniamo |
| voi | urinate |
| loro | urinino |
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 urinare |
| lui/lei | non urini |
| noi | non uriniamo |
| voi | non urinate |
| loro | non urinino |
