partiresti

Partiresti is the second-person singular form of the present conditional mood of the Italian verb partire, meaning to leave or depart. It is a grammatical form rather than a standalone noun, and it expresses hypothetical or contingent action involving the subject “tu” (you).

Formation and usage context

In Italian, the present conditional is used to describe what someone would do under certain conditions, to make polite offers, or to discuss hypothetical scenarios. Partiresti combines the infinitive partire with the appropriate conditional ending for the second person singular. It is commonly used in subordinate clauses following if-clauses (se) or in contexts that introduce a hypothetical situation: for example, Se avessi tempo, partiresti domani (If you had time, you would leave tomorrow).

Meaning and nuance

The meaning conveyed by partiresti is “you would leave” or “you would depart.” It implies a hypothetical or potential action rather than a definite plan. The form is closely related to other person-specific conditional forms of partire, such as partirei (I would leave) or partirebbe (he/she would leave), and it contrasts with the present indicative partire, which states a real current action.

Examples

- Se avessi abbastanza soldi, partiresti per l’estero. (If you had enough money, you would leave for abroad.)

- Partiresti subito se ti offrissi un lavoro migliore? (Would you leave immediately if I offered you a better job?)
