avrò

avrò is the first-person singular form of the Italian verb avere in the simple future tense. Avere means “to have,” and avrò is used to express that the speaker will possess something or will perform an action in the future. As an auxiliary verb, avere also helps form compound tenses, so avrò appears in phrases like the future perfect (avrà seguito in other contexts): avrò mangiato means “I will have eaten.”

Conjugation in the present of the future indicative is:

io avrò, tu avrai, lui/lei avrà, noi avremo, voi avrete, loro avranno.

Usage notes:

- Avrò denotes a definite future action or possession and is commonly used in planning, statements about upcoming events, or forecasts.

- It also functions as the auxiliary in the future perfect tense, for example, avrò finito meaning “I will have finished.”

- The form is irregular, reflecting the overall irregularity of avere in Italian. It derives from Latin habēre through historical evolution of the language, with phonetic and morphological changes producing the modern form avrò.

Examples:

- Domani avrò vent’anni. (Tomorrow I will be twenty years old.)

- Quando arriverai, avrò già mangiato. (When you arrive, I will already have eaten.)

- Avrò una risposta entro venerdì. (I will have an answer by Friday.)

Notes on pronunciation:

- avrò is pronounced with the stress on the final syllable: a-VRÒ, typically transcribed as [aˈvrɔ]. The accent mark indicates the stressed, closed vowel at the end of the word.
