fornireste

Fornireste is the second-person plural conditional presente form of the Italian verb fornire, meaning you would provide or supply. Fornire is a transitive verb used to express giving or supplying something to someone, and it commonly collocates with objects such as dati, informazioni, assistenza, or materiali. The conditional presente expresses hypothetical action and is frequently used in polite requests or proposals.

Conjugation and relation to other forms: the conditional presente uses the stem fornire- with the usual endings: io fornirei, tu forniresti, lui/lei fornirebbe, noi forniremmo, voi fornireste, loro fornirebbero. The present indicative forms are fornisco, fornisci, fornisce, forniamo, fornite, forniscono, and the verb also has a future form (fornirò, fornirai, fornirà, forniremo, fornirete, forniranno). In everyday usage, fornire is treated as a regular -ire verb in the conditional, while its present indicative shows the characteristic -isc- behavior in some present forms.

Usage notes: fornireste is typically used in hypothetical clauses (for example, in conditions introduced by se) or to make a polite or formal suggestion. It can appear in sentences such as Se poteste, voi fornireste assistenza al progetto, meaning “If you could, you would provide assistance to the project.” The form reinforces a courteous tone or a speculative scenario, rather than a direct statement of fact.

Related terms: fornire is closely linked to its noun forms such as fornitura (supply) and to the noun fornitore (supplier). The word is common in business, logistics, and administrative Italian, where the act of providing or supplying is discussed.
