Altereranno

Altereranno is the third-person plural form of the Italian verb alterare in the future indicative, meaning "they will alter" or "they will change." It is used to describe actions that future subjects will perform, typically referring to modifications, adjustments, or changes to something.

In Italian, the future tense for -are verbs is formed by attaching the standard endings -ò, -ai, -à, -emo, -ete, -anno to the stem. For alterare, the stem is alternately presented as alterer-, producing forms such as altererano for the third-person plural. Thus, altereranno corresponds to “they will alter.” This form is regular for the verb alterare, which follows the common pattern of -are verbs in the future.

Etymology wise, alterare comes from Latin alterare, itself related to alter-, meaning other or changed. The Italian form altereranno inherits this lineage, aligning with other Latin-derived verbs that share a similar future stem pattern.

Usage notes: altereranno is a regular future form used with plural subjects, including nouns or pronouns referring to multiple agents. It often appears in formal, academic, or journalistic contexts when describing anticipated changes to systems, rules, data, or plans.

Examples:

- Le nuove normative altereranno i parametri di misurazione.

- Le aziende e le istituzioni altereranno le condizioni di accesso al credito.
