Faranno

Faranno is a grammatical form rather than a standalone word with a meaning beyond its verbal function. In Italian, faranno is the third-person plural future indicative of the verb fare, meaning they will do or they will make. It is used to indicate actions that will take place in the future and can refer to people or things understood as a group.

Form and conjugation

Fare follows a regular future pattern in its endings, but with an irregular stem. The stem for the future is far-; the full set of endings is -ò, -ai, -à, -emo, -ete, -anno. Therefore, the forms include farò, farai, farà, faremo, farete, and faranno. The form faranno specifically marks the subject as third-person plural. The same endings apply to other verbs in the same conjugation class, while far- is the unique present stem of fare in the future.

Usage

Faranno is used in declarative sentences to discuss planned or predicted actions by multiple subjects. Examples: "Faranno una conferenza domani" (They will hold a conference tomorrow) and "Cosa faranno dopo la riunione?" (What will they do after the meeting?). It also appears in questions and conditional contexts with appropriate syntax, and can be negated: "Non faranno nulla." The tense functions independently of mood, voice, or aspect in ordinary prose.

Etymology and related forms

Farare derives from the verb fare, whose etymology traces back to Latin facere. Related forms include fanno (present indicative), fatto (participio passato), facendo (gerundio), and the infinitive fare. Faranno shares the same semantic core of performing or creating an action in the future.
