Talk:Italian conjugation

Link to Italian grammar

This page should contain an internal link to Italian grammar, and greater discussion of the Italian language in the lead section. Alternately, information on verbs could be added to that page, and this page redirected to that one. Cnilep (talk) 16:51, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Present Subjunctive

Present subjunctive is also used for giving commands or exhortations. E.g.: "Se ne vada!" -> "Go away!" (courtesy form with "lei") In this sense, it supplies the missing grammatical persons of the imperative (i.e. "vadano via!" ~ "they must go"). - Ambaradan (talk) 21:00, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of references

This article has no references; not even one grammar book is mentioned. As a reader, I would like to see more general information and examples about how the tenses are used (compared with the English ones), and less about the exact form each tense has in every irregular verb, which is information that can be obtained elsewhere.

Colour coding and colour blindness

It's unusual to see colour coding in a Wikipedia article like this one has. I suspect the red/green/yellow combinations are confusing to some colour blind people. Should we use blue for one of the three types instead? See WP:COLOUR. Tayste (edits) 18:39, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Vowel length errors permeate phonemic transcriptions

A false claim is made in transcriptions such as /aˈmaːte/, repeated in every table that uses phonemic transcription. [aˈmaːte] and [aˈmate] cannot contrast in Italian. Vowel length is phonetic (allophonic) only, not phonemic. Barefoot through the chollas (talk) 19:11, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
