imparo

Imparo is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Italian verb imparare, meaning “I learn” or “I am learning.” It is used to describe the act of acquiring knowledge or skills in a general sense, or to state a speaker’s learning activity in the present. Italian also uses a progressive form with sto imparando to emphasize ongoing learning, but imparo can express a habitual or immediate learning state depending on context and accompaniment.

Conjugation in the present indicative is: io imparo, tu impari, lui/lei impara, noi impariamo, voi imparate, loro imparano. The verb is commonly followed by a direct object to indicate what is being learned (imparo la lingua italiana) or by the construction a + infinitive to indicate learning to do something (imparo a nuotare). Examples include: “Oggi imparo una nuova parola” and “Imparo a suonare la chitarra.” The form is used across formal and informal speech and appears in educational contexts, conversations about skill development, and personal statements of learning.
