In today’s lesson we will deal with an Italian tricky mood: the CONDITIONAL! But don’t worry: we will find out together how to form and when to use it… so, don’t move!
When TO USE the PRESENT CONDITIONAL in Italian?
1. To express a DESIRE
For example:
Mi piacerebbe tanto visitare New York! (I would really like to visit New York!)
or
Quanto vorrei che fosse già estate! (I wish it was already summertime!)
2. To express POLITENESS
For example:
Vorrei un caffè per favore! (I’d like a coffee, please!)
or
Mi daresti il tuo numero di telefono, gentilmente? (Would you kindly give me your telephone number?)
3. To express PERSONAL OPINIONS
For example:
Lucia vuole organizzare una festa a sorpresa per suo fratello. Sarebbe una cosa carina a mio parere. (Lucia wants to throw a surprise party for her brother. It would be a nice thing in my opinion)
4. To express ADVICE
For example:
Secondo me, dovresti impegnarti di più nel tuo lavoro. (In my view, you should work harder)
5. In the main sentence of the 2nd type of Italian if clauses to express possibility, together with the imperfect subjunctive in the subordinate sentence.
For example:
Se fossi ricca, comprerei una villa a Cannes. (If I were rich, I would buy a big house in Cannes)
or
Se chiedesse scusa, lo perdonerei. (If he apologized, I would forgive him)
6. To express a DOUBT
For example:
Come potrei fare per risolvere questo problema adesso? (What could I do to solve this problem now?)
or
E quest’uomo chi sarebbe? (Who’s this man?)
Related to this use, the conditional is especially used in the newspaper language to REPORT RUMORS, unconfirmed news.
For example:
Tra le vittime del disastro aereo ci sarebbero 5 italiani (Among the victims of the air disaster there reportedly are 5 Italians)
