accipiemus

Accipiemus is a Latin verb form. It is the first person plural future indicative active of accipere, meaning to take, receive, obtain, or accept. As a 3-io verb, accipere belongs to a subclass whose future indicative forms combine a thematic -ie- stem with regular personal endings; the full future paradigm is accipiam, accipies, accipiet, accipiemus, accipietis, accipient. Consequently, accipiemus translates most often as “we shall receive” or “we will accept” in English.

In usage, accipiemus expresses a future action of receiving or taking something and governs a direct object in the accusative. For example: Accipiemus litteras cras. We shall receive letters tomorrow. Eos accipiemus. We shall receive them. The form can appear in direct statements, conditional clauses, or reported speech, depending on context and accompanying particles.

Etymology and related forms: accipiemus is derived from accipere (to take, receive) and follows the 3-io verb pattern, with the future endings -iam, -ies, -iet, -iemus, -ietis, -ient. Related forms include accipiam, accipies, accipiet, accipietis, and accipiunt in the present or other tenses, which together illustrate the verb’s core meaning and its regular 3-io morphology.

In modern contexts, accipiemus may be encountered primarily in Latin grammars, Neo-Latin writings, or studies of Latin tense formation. It is not typically used as a standalone modern term but serves as a standard example of the Latin future indicative for accipere.
