brinderò

Brinderò is the first-person singular form of the Italian verb brindare in the future indicative mood. It means “I will toast” and is used to express the intention to offer a toast or drink in someone’s honor at a future moment.

In everyday Italian, brindare is the act of raising a glass and clinking it in celebration or agreement. Brinderò is commonly used during preparations for celebrations, weddings, dinners, or speeches, where a speaker commits to toasting the audience or honorees. A typical use would be: “Domani festeggeremo; brinderò al successo.” The form can also appear in narrative to indicate a pledge or prophecy of a toast.

Grammatically, brindare is a regular -are verb. Its future forms are: io brinderò, tu brinderai, lui/lei brinderà, noi brinderemo, voi brinderete, loro brinderanno. Other tenses include the present brindo, the passato prossimo ho brindato, and the past historic brindai, among others, but brinderò specifically denotes a future action.

The noun brindisi complements the verb by naming the toast itself—the act of drinking in someone’s honor. While brindare is widely used in Italian social and ceremonial language, the exact etymology of the verb is not definitively established; the noun brindisi is the more common term for the toast, and the verb is the standard way to express the action in future time.
