Learn Italian: Assolutamente, chiamerei l'autista ogni sera. - Absolutely, I would call the driver every evening.

To form the present conditional of -are verbs, the -a- in the infinitive changes to an -e- before adding the conditional endings. So, the stem for chiamare becomes chiamer-. Then we add the first-person singular ending -ei, giving us chiamerei (I would call).

Is autista (driver) masculine or feminine?

It can be both! Nouns for professions ending in -ista (like dentista or turista) use the exact same form for both men and women in the singular. Because it starts with a vowel, both take the article l'. You only see the gender difference in the plural: gli autisti (male or mixed drivers) and le autiste (female drivers).

Could I say tutte le sere instead of ogni sera?

Yes, they mean the exact same thing in everyday conversation! Ogni sera translates literally to "every evening," while tutte le sere translates to "all the evenings." Just remember that ogni (every) never changes its ending and must always be followed by a singular noun without an article.
