Peggiorerai

Peggiorerai is the second-person singular form of the Italian verb peggiorare in the future indicative. The base verb peggiorare means to worsen or to deteriorate, in reference to a condition, situation, or quality. Peggiorerai therefore translates to "you will worsen" or "you will make worse" depending on the context, though it more commonly means the subject will experience a worsening of a condition rather than causing it directly.

Usage notes: Peggiorare is used to describe future deterioration. It appears in a wide range of contexts, including health, weather, economic or social conditions, and abstract situations. The standard future tense endings for -are verbs apply: io peggiorerò, tu peggiorerai, lui/lei peggiorerà, noi peggioreremo, voi peggiorerete, loro peggioreranno.

Examples:

- Se non interveniamo, peggiorerai la situazione.

- Se continua a ignorare i sintomi, la sua condizione potrebbe peggiorare.

Related forms: the infinitive peggiorare; the present participle peggiorando; the past participle peggiorato; the noun peggioramento, meaning “worsening” or “deterioration.” Etymology traces peggiorare to the adjective peggiore (worse) and ultimately to the Latin peior, the comparative form of malus.
