The meaning of offrire<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n

Offrire <\/em>in Italian means to offer<\/em>. It can be used in the sense of to pay for<\/em> (foods or drinks), to offer a gift<\/em>, help, services or opportunities. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

What conjugation does offrire <\/em>belong to?<\/h2>\n\n\n

Offrire <\/em>belongs to the third Italian conjugation. Its infinitive form ends in -ire<\/em> (offrire<\/em>), the participle form is offerto<\/em> and the gerund ends in -endo <\/em>(offrendo<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n

Is offrire <\/em>regular or irregular?<\/h2>\n\n\n

Offrire <\/em>is a regular verb, so it does not vary throughout its conjugation in line with standard third-conjugation verb endings. This might make it a little trickier to memorize its conjugation. <\/p>\n\n\n

Does offrire <\/em>use an essere<\/em> or avere <\/em>auxiliary?<\/h2>\n\n\n

Italian compound tenses such as the present perfect (passato prossimo) require the main verb to be preceded by an auxiliary, essere <\/em>or avere<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offrire<\/em> is a transitive verb, that is, a verb that takes an object (for example offriamo in omaggio dei campioncini di profumo – we offer complimentary perfume samples<\/em>). A transitive verb does not make sense on its own, without an object. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The verb offrire <\/em>takes the avere <\/em>auxiliary in compound tenses (for example le ho offerto un caff\u00e8 – I offered her a coffee<\/em>). <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offrire <\/em>can also be used reflexively (offrirsi<\/em>) to mean to offer oneself \/ to volunteer to do something<\/em> (for example, mi sono offerta di aiutare – I offered to help<\/em>). In this case, like all other Italian verbs when used reflexively, it wants an essere <\/em>auxiliary in compound tenses. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
