aspetterete

Aspetterete is the second-person plural form of the Italian verb aspettare in the future indicative. It translates to “you (all) will wait” and is used to indicate that a group will wait for someone or something in the future. It is part of standard Italian conjugation patterns for -are verbs.

Morphology and etymology: The infinitive is aspettare; in the future tense the stem is aspetter- and the standard endings are -ò, -ai, -à, -emo, -ete, -anno. Thus aspetterete corresponds to “you will wait.” The verb derives from Latin exspectare via the development of Italian; the modern spelling retains a double consonant in the stem, reflecting the original -tt- in aspettare.

Usage and examples: It is used in everyday Italian to refer to future waiting by a group. Examples include: “Voi aspetterete l'arrivo degli ospiti.” and “Aspetterete che finisca il film.” Note the form is distinct from altre person endings such as aspetterò (I will wait), aspetterete (you all will wait), or aspettereste (you would wait, conditional).
