Ucciderete

Ucciderete is the second-person plural future tense form of the Italian verb uccidere, meaning “you all will kill.” It is used to indicate a future action carried out by the group addressed as voi. The verb uccidere is a regular -ere verb, and ucciderete is formed by taking the infinitive stem uccider- and adding the ending -ete, which corresponds to the voi form in the future tense.

Morphology and usage: The form is composed of the stem uccider- plus the standard future ending for -ere verbs, giving ucciderete. It can appear in both literal and figurative senses, such as in dialogues or narration. Examples include sentences like “Se continuate così, voi ucciderete la speranza” (If you continue like this, you all will kill hope) or “Voi ucciderete ogni possibilità” (You all will destroy every possibility). It agrees with the subject voi and can be negated with non, as in “Voi non ucciderete.” The form functions as a finite verb and does not act as a noun or name.

Cultural and linguistic notes: While possible to encounter ucciderete in literature, journalism, or lyrics, it is not commonly used as a standalone title in Italian. When encountered, it is usually part of a larger sentence or quoted dialogue. The word’s perception is dominated by its literal sense of “you will kill,” but in figurative contexts it may refer to destroying opportunities, plans, or reputations rather than physical killing.
