Insegnerete

Insegnerete is the second person plural, future indicative form of the Italian verb insegnare, meaning you (plural) will teach. It is used to describe a future action carried out by a group that includes the person addressed.

Etymology and meaning: insegnare derives from Latin insignāre, literally “to mark or indicate” with the sense expanding to “to teach” in Italian. The connection to teaching reflects the idea of guiding others by showing or indicating how to do something.

Grammar and conjugation: Insegnerare is a regular -are verb, and its future tense follows the standard pattern for this class. The stem for the future is insegner-, to which the personal endings are added: insegnerò, insegnerai, insegnerà, insegneremo, insegnerete, insegneranno. Therefore insegnerete is formed by the stem insegner- plus the ending -ete. The participle is insegnato, and related forms include insegni, insegniamo, insegnerai, and insegneranno in other tenses.

Usage and examples: The word is used in contexts involving teaching or instructing others in the future. Examples include: Domani insegnerete agli studenti come utilizzare la lavagna interattiva. (Tomorrow you all will teach the students how to use the interactive whiteboard.) Voi insegnerete ai vostri nuovi dipendenti le procedure di sicurezza. (You will teach your new employees the safety procedures.)
