Agiremmo

Agiremmo is the first-person plural of the present conditional of the Italian verb agire, meaning “we would act.” It is used to express hypothetical or contingent action, often in relation to a condition or consideration of what could happen under certain circumstances.

The verb agire belongs to the -ire class and has irregularities in the present indicative (for example, io agisco, tu agisci, lui/lei agisce), but the present conditional forms follow regular endings. The full present conditional paradigm for agire is: io agirei, tu agiresti, lui/lei agirebbe, noi agiremmo, voi agireste, loro agirebbero. In practice, agiremmo is the standard form for the first-person plural conditional.

Usage notes: agiremmo is commonly employed in conditional clauses introduced by se (if) to describe what would happen under certain conditions, or in main clauses to express a hypothetical intention or course of action. It can convey determination or a measured, prudent approach to action depending on context. Examples include: “Se avessimo risorse, agiremmo subito” (If we had resources, we would act immediately) and “In presenza di prove convincenti, agiremmo di conseguenza” (In the presence of convincing evidence, we would act accordingly).

Relation to related forms: agire as a base can also appear in other moods and tenses (present indicative agisco, agisci, etc.; past participle agito; gerundio agendo), but agiremmo specifically denotes a hypothetical action by the subject in the present or future.
