What are common irregular Italian verbs and their conjugations

Common irregular Italian verbs include “essere” (to be), “avere” (to have), “andare” (to go), “fare” (to do/make), “dire” (to say), “stare” (to stay/be), “venire” (to come), and “tenere” (to hold). Their conjugations differ from regular verb patterns and vary in different tenses.

Here are some examples of conjugations in the present indicative tense for these irregular verbs:

• Essere (to be): io sono, tu sei, lui/lei è, noi siamo, voi siete, loro sono.
• Avere (to have): io ho, tu hai, lui/lei ha, noi abbiamo, voi avete, loro hanno.
• Andare (to go): io vado, tu vai, lui/lei va, noi andiamo, voi andate, loro vanno.
• Fare (to do/make): io faccio, tu fai, lui/lei fa, noi facciamo, voi farete, loro fanno.
• Dire (to say): io dico, tu dici, lui/lei dice, noi diciamo, voi dite, loro dicono.
• Stare (to stay/be): io sto, tu stai, lui/lei sta, noi stiamo, voi state, loro stanno.
• Venire (to come): io vengo, tu vieni, lui/lei viene, noi veniamo, voi venite, loro vengono.
• Tenere (to hold): io tengo, tu tieni, lui/lei tiene, noi teniamo, voi tenete, loro tengono.

These verbs show vowel changes, consonant doubling, and other stem changes that make their conjugation irregular compared to regular -are, -ere, and -ire verbs. ¹¹
