infinitiveparlare

Infinitiveparlare is not a standard grammatical term in Italian, but a composite label used in some linguistic and computational resources to denote the infinitive form of the Italian verb parlare, meaning “to speak.” In such contexts the phrase combines the meta-category infinitive with the lemma parlare, serving as a precise identifier in lexica, corpora, or parsing tools.

Parlare is a first-conjugation verb. The present infinitive form is parlare, which acts as the base form for non-finite clauses and is used after modal verbs or other verbs that require an infinitive, such as Devo parlare (I must speak), Posso parlare (I can speak), Voglio parlare (I want to speak). The infinitive can also follow prepositions, as in di parlare (about speaking), prima di parlare (before speaking), or senza parlare (without speaking). As a noun, the infinitive form appears as il parlare, meaning “the act of speaking.”

In standard Italian, the infinitive participates in tense and mood through finite forms of the verb or via compound infinitives. The perfect infinitive is formed with avere: avere parlato (having spoken). The present and other non-finite uses of parlar e are otherwise governed by regular conjugation patterns for -are verbs: parlo, parli, parla, parliamo, parlate, parlano in the present indicative; parlavo, parlavi, parlava, parlavamo, parlavate, parlavano in the imperfect, and the corresponding subjunctive and compound-tense forms follow regular -are paradigms.

In practice, infinitiveparlare appears primarily as a labeling convention in linguistic datasets rather than as a distinct grammatical category, and it helps disambiguate the infinitive form of the lemma parlare in multilingual or computational contexts.
