Just to add fuel to the flame..In Italian, there is a set of verbs that
is under Irregular verbs.
So you got this type of 'irregularites'

andare (to go)

Io  vado (I go)
Tu  vai  (you go)
Lui/Lei va   (he/she/it goes)
Noi  andiamo (we go)
Voi  andate  (you (plu) go)
Loro andanno (they walk)

So the stem word is not exactly precise. (va ?) (and ?). I belive
Spanish would have this kind
of verbs as well. 

Off course this kind of word aren't many compared to the rest of verb
structure in the Italian language.
