Villa taught me the conjugations for regular verbs so I was wondering how capire is conjugated. Its a verb I used when I first started studying Italiano the "practical" way. That means they skim over grammatical details.
so far I've used capire (infinitive), capisco (the io form), capisce (lei form)

Another verb I've come across is "want", volere, and I've been using vorrebbe..

Default I am also beginner in Italian, so

Hi gakyouni,
a proposito, by the way, if you‘d like to go further than “avere & essere” you’ll find that next 10 verbs (from I verbi più cercati –The most wanted Italian verbs)
http://www.italian-verbs.com/italian...-verbs-top.php
are:
3.andare – go; vado -vai -va -andiamo-andate -vanno
4.fare – do, make; faccio-fai -fa -facciamo-fate -fanno
5.potere- can, be able to; posso-puoi-può-possiamo-potete-possono
6.volere- want; voglio-vuoi-vuole-vogliamo-volete-vogliono
7.dare - give; do -dai -da -diamo -date -danno
8. venire-come; vengo-vieni-viene-veniamo-venite-vengono
9.stare - stay, live, be; sto-stai -sta -stiamo -state -stanno
10.dire – say, tell; dico-dici-dice-diciamo-dite -dicono
11.dovere - have to, must; devo-devi-deve-dobbiamo-dovete-devono
12. sapere - know; so -sai -sa -sappiamo-sapete-sanno

and all of them are irregular.
Make yourself comfortable with
www.wordreference.com/iten/ho
because if you tape “ho” there you’ll see that it belongs to “avere”, full conjugation of this verb as well as many other examples .
Also, don’t be lazy and please, read the earliest posts on
http://my.lifeinitaly.com/f31/ (Italiano – Beginner)-
there are so many helpful links and stuff. Grazie a tutti!
So, I wish you many enjoyable moments while learning Italian

and, please feel free to correct my English - grazie mile.

Grazie Giacomo. Tu hai ragione. It was a typo.

I just tried the word reference site, Micio, its amazing! It'll be good for those tricky conjugations for sure.
For normal uses I use a programme called Lingoes Translator, its free and you can install dictionaries of just about any language! So I've set mine up with a Italian to English one and taken away the others. Anche, it can connect to Google Translate through the programme when I want to translate an English word to Italiano.

Great job boys and girls, and don't forget that for any tricky question about conjugation you can ask me or other natives
Just one thing, please don't link to payment sites

Has everybody seen Carlo Pesce's site where you talk to him
on live camera? All the way from Venezia, Italia. He gives you
private Italian lessons right from your computer.

Hopefully I meet up con Carlo in June 2009 in Venezia o Vicenza.

Grazie Giacomo.
Unfortunately it was an annoying misprint.
Thank again.
