adotterebbe

Adotterebbe is the third-person singular form of the Italian verb adottare in the present conditional mood. It expresses a hypothetical action and corresponds to the English phrase "he would adopt" or "she would adopt." The verb adottare means to take up, adopt, or assume something, such as a pet, a maternity or paternity leave policy, a practice, or an idea.

Morphology and forms: Adottare is a regular -are verb. In the present conditional, the verb forms are built by adding the standard endings -ei, -esti, -ebbe, -emmo, -este, -ebbero to the stem with the appropriate consonant adjustments. The present conditional forms include adotterei (I would adopt), adotteresti (you would adopt), adotterebbe (he/she would adopt), adotteremmo (we would adopt), adottereste (you all would adopt), and adotterebbero (they would adopt). Therefore, adotterebbe is the third-person singular form.

Usage: Adotterebbe is used in conditional clauses to indicate a hypothetical decision or action. It often appears in sentences beginning with if clauses or in reported speech to convey what someone would do under certain circumstances. Examples: “Se trovasse un animale bisognoso, adotterebbe un cane.” “Secondo la proposta, la città adotterebbe nuove misure.” In everyday Italian, speakers may also use alternative conditional constructions, but adotterebbe remains the standard form for the third person singular.
