aspetteremo

Aspetteremo is the first-person plural form of the Italian verb aspettare in the future tense, meaning "we will wait" or "we are going to wait." It is used to indicate a forthcoming action in which a group will wait for someone or something, or to express a plan or expectation concerning waiting.

Grammatical notes: The form follows the standard conjugation pattern for -are verbs in the future tense: noi aspetteremo, with the ending -emo. It appears in both spoken and written Italian and can introduce statements about future intentions, commitments, or expectations. In everyday speech, speakers may also use alternative constructions such as stiamo aspettando (present progressive) to emphasize an ongoing waiting moment, or aspettare with different subjects to convey different timelines.

Etymology: Aspettare derives from Latin exspectare, via the evolution of Italian phonology that produced the form aspettare. The future tense ending -emo reflects regular Italian patterns for the first-person plural.

Usage nuances: Aspetteremo is neutral in tone and suitable for a wide range of contexts, from plain narration to formal announcements. It does not guarantee that the awaited event will occur, only that the waiting action by the group is planned or anticipated. It commonly governs direct objects representing what is waited for, as in aspettare un treno, una risposta, o l’arrivo di amici.
