Usciremmo

usciremmo is the first-person plural conditional form of the Italian verb uscire, meaning “we would go out” or “we would leave.” It is used to express hypothetical actions, tentative plans, or polite suggestions, and often appears in se-clauses (if …) or as a main clause to soften a statement or invitation.

Conjugation and formation: The verb uscire is irregular in the conditional. The present conditional forms include io uscirei, tu usciresti, lui/lei uscirebbe, noi usciremmo, voi uscireste, loro uscirebbero. The form usciremmo specifically corresponds to the noi form. In general, the -ire verbs form their conditional with endings that yield -iremmo for noi.

Usage examples: Se avessimo tempo, usciremmo stasera. Usciremmo volentieri, ma siamo molto occupati. Se potessimo, usciremmo insieme questa settimana. These examples show how usciremmo can express a hypothetical plan or a polite invitation.

Etymology and notes: The verb uscire derives from Latin exire, meaning “to go out,” combining ex- (out) with ire (to go). The conditional form usciremmo reflects standard Italian irregular patterns for some -ire verbs, while retaining the regular conditional ending for the noi form.
