confermereste

Confermereste is the second-person plural present conditional form of the Italian verb confermare, meaning to confirm. It expresses a hypothetical action or a polite request and is used in conditional clauses as well as in formal or courteous discourse. The present conditional is generally formed by attaching standard endings to the stem confermere-: io confermerei, tu confermeresti, lui confermerebbe, noi confirmeremmo, voi confermereste, loro confermerebbero. The form you see, confermereste, corresponds to “you would confirm” in English.

Usage notes:

The present conditional in Italian is versatile. It can express hypothetical situations (often in clauses starting with se), make polite requests, or soften statements to sound more cautious or respectful. It is common in written and formal speech, but also appears in everyday conversation when tact is desired. Unlike the future tense, the present conditional is not used to talk about definite future events; rather, it conveys possibility, intention, or courtesy.

Examples:

- Confermereste la vostra presenza entro venerdì? (Would you confirm your presence by Friday?)

- Converreste l’appuntamento per domani? (Would you confirm the appointment for tomorrow?)

Related forms:

Confermare is a regular -are verb, so its present conditional follows the standard pattern with the stem confermere-. Other persons form similarly, with endings matching the subject pronoun. The form for voi (you all) specifically is confermereste, a typical second-person plural conditional ending.
