urinare — Italian conjugation

to urinate

Frequency#1068Regular

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
iourinoI urinate
tuuriniyou urinate
lui/leiurinahe/she/it urinates
noiuriniamowe urinate
voiurinateyou (pl.) urinate
lorourinanothey 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.

PronounItalianEnglish
iourinaiI urinated
tuurinastiyou urinated
lui/leiurinòhe/she/it urinated
noiurinammowe urinated
voiurinasteyou (pl.) urinated
lorourinaronothey 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.

PronounItalian
iourinavo
tuurinavi
lui/leiurinava
noiurinavamo
voiurinavate
lorourinavano

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
iourinereiI would urinate
tuurinerestiyou would urinate
lui/leiurinerebbehe/she/it would urinate
noiurineremmowe would urinate
voiurineresteyou (pl.) would urinate
lorourinerebberothey 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.

PronounItalianEnglish
iourineròI will urinate
tuurineraiyou will urinate
lui/leiurineràhe/she/it will urinate
noiurineremowe will urinate
voiurinereteyou (pl.) will urinate
lorourinerannothey 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.

PronounItalianEnglish
ioho urinatoI have urinated
tuhai urinatoyou have urinated
lui/leiha urinatohe/she/it has urinated
noiabbiamo urinatowe have urinated
voiavete urinatoyou (pl.) have urinated
lorohanno urinatothey 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.

PronounItalianEnglish
ioavevo urinatoI had urinated
tuavevi urinatoyou had urinated
lui/leiaveva urinatohe/she/it had urinated
noiavevamo urinatowe had urinated
voiavevate urinatoyou (pl.) had urinated
loroavevano urinatothey 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.

PronounItalian
ioavrei urinato
tuavresti urinato
lui/leiavrebbe urinato
noiavremmo urinato
voiavreste urinato
loroavrebbero 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.

PronounItalianEnglish
ioavrò urinatoI will have urinated
tuavrai urinatoyou will have urinated
lui/leiavrà urinatohe/she/it will have urinated
noiavremo urinatowe will have urinated
voiavrete urinatoyou (pl.) will have urinated
loroavranno urinatothey 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.

PronounItalian
iourini
tuurini
lui/leiurini
noiuriniamo
voiuriniate
lorourinino

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
iourinassi
tuurinassi
lui/leiurinasse
noiurinassimo
voiurinaste
lorourinassero

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
tuurina
lui/leiurini
noiuriniamo
voiurinate
lorourinino

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 urinare
lui/leinon urini
noinon uriniamo
voinon urinate
loronon urinino
