Imperative mood

Unlike the other verbal moods, the imperative mood is distinguished by a substantially different conjugation pattern. The thematic vowels are the same as the indicative mood. Only the second persons and the first plural person are conveyed, without any further temporal or aspectual distinctions:

Non-finite forms

The non-finite verbal forms are:

Infinitive

It is regarded as the citation form of the verb, and it is not conjugated in person or number. It can, however, be conjugated according to the mood, thus forming an indicative, a subjunctive, a conditional, and an optative form (although the usage of the modal forms is quite limited).

The infinitive is a nominal form of a verb and it can be declined only in the singular number. It can also be introduced by a preposition. Its basic form is regarded as the direct case

L’infinito è una forma verbale nominale ed è considerato come un nome. Viene usata come nome verbale nelle frasi ed è perfettamente declinabile. A differenza dei nomi, tuttavia, presenta all’accusativo la desinenza zero, uguale al nominativo, quando non è accompagnato da alcuna preposizione. Non presenta forme di plurale.
