conabimur

Conabimur is a Latin verb form meaning "we shall try" or "we will attempt." It is the first-person plural future indicative of the deponent verb conor, which means to attempt. Because conor is deponent, its forms are passive in appearance but active in meaning; thus conabimur expresses a future intention rather than a passive action. The form is typically used with an understood subject nos.

The infinitive of the base is conari, “to try.” The present indicative forms of conor are conor, conaris, conatur, conamur, conamini, conantur, while the future indicative forms include conabor, conaberis, conabitur, conabimur, conabimini, conabuntur. Translating, conabimur yields “we will try” or “we shall endeavor.” In English, it conveys determination, tentative planning, or a statement of intent regarding future action.

Usage notes: as a deponent verb, conabimur relies on passive morphology but carries active meaning. It typically appears in contexts where a speaker expresses intention to undertake a future action, and it can be followed by infinitival or clausal complements describing the action to be attempted. The form is standard in Classical Latin and remains a common example of how deponent verbs convey intentional nuance in the future tense.
