Verbi con –parire
Most Italian verbs that end in –parire have two sets of conjugations in the present tense and some other tenses and moods. They can either be conjugated like –ire verbs with –isc– or with a set of irregular endings:
| Singular | Plural | ||||
| 1st person | io | -io | noi | -riamo | |
| 2nd person | tu | -ri | voi | -rite | |
| 3rd person | lui | -re | loro | -iono | |
Per esempio…
To conjugate comparire, remove
| COMPARIRE | Singular | Plural | |||
| 1st person | io | compaio | noi | compariamo | |
| 2nd person | tu | compari | voi | comparite | |
| 3rd person | lui | compare | loro | compaiono | |
The two sets of conjugations are equally correct.
| io | compaio | comparisco | |
| tu | compari | comparisci | |
| lui | compare | comparisce | |
| noi | compariamo | ||
| voi | comparite | ||
| loro | compaiono | compariscono | |
Note that noi and voi conjugations are the same in both sets.
Common –parire verbs

| comparire | to appear | |

The verbs parire and sparire do not follow this pattern: they are regular –ire verbs.
