Lesson focus |
|
|---|---|
| Cinzia: The Futuro Semplice tense of all three conjugations verbs is realized by dropping the ending vowel from the infinitive and adding the appropriate endings. | |
| Marco: just the ending vowel, not the whole last syllable as it would normally be the case. | |
| Cinzia: Please note that only the first conjugation verbs change the last syllable vowel from -a to -e. | |
| Marco: Here are the necessary steps to inflect first conjugation verbs, first, take the infinitive of the verb | |
| Cinzia: for example, guidare “to drive, infinitive” | |
| Marco: second, drop the final vowel | |
| Cinzia: guidar | |
| Marco: third, change the last syllable vowel to -e-, keeping the rest as it is | |
| Cinzia: guider | |
| Marco: fourth, add the appropriate endings. | |
| Cinzia: that are | |
| -ò | |
| -ai | |
| -à | |
| -emo | |
| -ete | |
| -anno | |
| Cinzia: let us now take a look at the Futuro semplice of the verb nuotare | |
| Marco: “to swim” | |
| Cinzia: Io nuoter-ò | |
| Marco: I will swim | |
| Cinzia: Tu nuoter -ai | |
| Marco: You will swim | |
| Cinzia: Lui/lei nuoter-à | |
| Marco: He/she/it will swim | |
| Cinzia: Noi nuoter-emo | |
| Marco: We will swim | |
| Cinzia: Voi nuoter-ete | |
| Marco: You will swim | |
| Cinzia: Loro nuoter-anno | |
| Marco: They will swim | |
| Marco: Due to the change of last syllable vowel, first conjugation verbs whose root ends with the letters C or G add the letter H between the root and stem, in order to keep the /k/ or /g/ sound. | |
| Cinzia: For example, pagare | |
| Marco: “to pay” | |
| Cinzia: Io pagher -ò | |
| Marco: I will pay | |
| Cinzia: Tu pagher -ai | |
| Marco: You will pay | |
| Cinzia: Lui/lei pagher -à | |
| Marco: He/she/it will pay | |
| Cinzia: Noi pagher -emo | |
| Marco: We will pay | |
| Cinzia: Voi pagher -ete | |
| Marco: You will pay | |
| Cinzia: Loro pagher -anno | |
| Marco: They will pay | |
| marco: Finally first conjugation verbs whose root ends with the vowel -i-, drop it before adding the endings | |
| Cinzia: Let us see how this happens with the verb rinunciare | |
| Marco: “to renounce; to give up” | |
| Cinzia: Io rinuncer -ò | |
| Marco: I will give up | |
| Cinzia: Tu rinuncer -ai | |
| Marco: You will give up | |
| Cinzia: Lui/lei rinuncer -à | |
| Marco: He/she/it will give up | |
| Cinzia: Noi rinuncer -emo | |
| Marco: We will give up | |
| Cinzia: Voi rinuncer -ete | |
| Marco: You will give up | |
| Cinzia: Loro rinuncer -anno | |
| Marco: They will give up | |
Outro |
|
| Marco: That just about does it for today. | |
| Marco: Before we go, we want to tell you about a way to drastically improve your pronunciation. | |
| Cinzia: The voice recording tool... | |
| Marco: Yes, the voice recording tool in the premium learning center... | |
| Cinzia: Record your voice with a click of a button, | |
| Marco: and then play it back just as easily. | |
| Cinzia: So you record your voice, and then listen to it. | |
| Marco: Compare it to the native speakers like Cinzia... | |
| Cinzia: And adjust your pronunciation! | |
| Marco: This will help you improve your pronunciation fast! | |
| Marco: A presto! | |
| Cinzia: Ciao a tutti e grazie! |

HideHi Masami,
You are absolutely right: "parere" is from the second group, but it is irregular.
For example the present is: io paio, tu pari, lui pare, noi paiamo, voi parete, loro paiono.
This verb is almost only used in the third person "pare", meaning "it seems".
Unfortunatelly I couldn't find it in the PDF, to fix it.
Did you find it in another lesson?
Grazie e ciao!

Hi Marco,
I am enjoying learning Italian with you! Thank you for this great online course!
In the PDF, "parere" is categorized in the 1st group of irregular inflections. Why not in the 2nd group (verbs that contract their infinitive form, thus losing the last two vowels.) considering the root "parr"? What is the reason?
Grazie mille.
Masami
Hi Alison,
It is beneficenza :thumbsup:

Paghero' il mutuo della casa alla Fiesta.
I will pay the mortgage of the house at Fiesta.
Mille grazie. Non scrivo italiano spesso. =)
Dear Chriss,
You actually got the verbs rather well, let me give you another version of your comment.
Non avendo accesso ai ‘lesson notes,’ non ho potuto leggerli mentre ascolto (la lezione). Li ho provati con il Coreano e penso che aiuti.
A presto
Marco

Meh, I think I got lost in the different verb tenses up there. XD
