versare — Italian conjugation
to pour, to decant
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 | verso | I pour |
| tu | versi | you pour |
| lui/lei | versa | he/she/it pours |
| noi | versiamo | we pour |
| voi | versate | you (pl.) pour |
| loro | versano | they pour |
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 | versai | I poured |
| tu | versasti | you poured |
| lui/lei | versò | he/she/it poured |
| noi | versammo | we poured |
| voi | versaste | you (pl.) poured |
| loro | versarono | they poured |
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 | versavo |
| tu | versavi |
| lui/lei | versava |
| noi | versavamo |
| voi | versavate |
| loro | versavano |
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 | verserei | I would pour |
| tu | verseresti | you would pour |
| lui/lei | verserebbe | he/she/it would pour |
| noi | verseremmo | we would pour |
| voi | versereste | you (pl.) would pour |
| loro | verserebbero | they would pour |
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 | verserò | I will pour |
| tu | verserai | you will pour |
| lui/lei | verserà | he/she/it will pour |
| noi | verseremo | we will pour |
| voi | verserete | you (pl.) will pour |
| loro | verseranno | they will pour |
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 versato | I have poured |
| tu | hai versato | you have poured |
| lui/lei | ha versato | he/she/it has poured |
| noi | abbiamo versato | we have poured |
| voi | avete versato | you (pl.) have poured |
| loro | hanno versato | they have poured |
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 versato | I had poured |
| tu | avevi versato | you had poured |
| lui/lei | aveva versato | he/she/it had poured |
| noi | avevamo versato | we had poured |
| voi | avevate versato | you (pl.) had poured |
| loro | avevano versato | they had poured |
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 versato |
| tu | avresti versato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe versato |
| noi | avremmo versato |
| voi | avreste versato |
| loro | avrebbero versato |
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 versato | I will have poured |
| tu | avrai versato | you will have poured |
| lui/lei | avrà versato | he/she/it will have poured |
| noi | avremo versato | we will have poured |
| voi | avrete versato | you (pl.) will have poured |
| loro | avranno versato | they will have poured |
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 | versi |
| tu | versi |
| lui/lei | versi |
| noi | versiamo |
| voi | versiate |
| loro | versino |
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 | versassi |
| tu | versassi |
| lui/lei | versasse |
| noi | versassimo |
| voi | versaste |
| loro | versassero |
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 | versa |
| lui/lei | versi |
| noi | versiamo |
| voi | versate |
| loro | versino |
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 versare |
| lui/lei | non versi |
| noi | non versiamo |
| voi | non versate |
| loro | non versino |
