obbedireesti

Obbediresti is the second-person singular present conditional form of the Italian verb obbedire, meaning "you would obey." In standard Italian, the present conditional forms are built on the infinitive obbedire: io obbedirei, tu obbediresti, lui obbedirebbe, noi obbediremmo, voi obbedireste, loro obbedirebbero. The form obbediresti is used to express a hypothetical action by the person addressed.

The spelling obbedireesti (with an extra e) is not standard Italian. It is generally considered a misspelling or nonstandard variant; it is not listed in standard conjugation tables and may appear only in informal or nonstandard contexts, or as a typographical error. The correct second-person singular form remains obbediresti.

Etymology-wise, obbedire comes from Latin oboedire, from ob- “toward” and audire “to hear,” conveying the sense of listening to and obeying authority. In Italian, the word appears across tenses and moods, with the conditional usage typical for hypotheticals, polite requests, or statements contingent on a condition.

Usage notes include that obbediresti expresses a hypothetical action by “you” and is common in both formal and informal registers when describing what someone would do under certain circumstances. It can appear in conditional clauses introduced by se (if) or in statements about possible behavior under specified conditions.
