confermeRANno

Confermeranno is the third-person plural form of the Italian verb confermare in the futuro semplice (simple future). It translates to "they will confirm" and is used to indicate a future action carried out by multiple subjects. The verb confermare derives from Latin confirmare (to make firm, to strengthen), through Old Italian, with the prefix con- reinforcing the sense of making firm.

Morphology and forms: Confermare is a regular -are verb in the future tense. The stem is confermer-, and the standard endings are -ò, -ai, -à, -emo, -ete, -anno. Therefore, confermeranno corresponds to the third-person plural: loro confermeranno. Related forms include confermerò (io), confermerai (tu), confermerà (lui/lei), confermeremo (noi), confermerete (voi).

Usage notes: This form is commonly used in formal, contractual, or journalistic contexts, as well as in everyday speech when referring to future plans by multiple subjects. Example: Loro confermeranno la prenotazione domani. They will confirm the reservation tomorrow. In indirect speech, the futuro semplice may be retained or adapted depending on the reporting verb (for example, Ha detto che confermeranno entro la settimana).

Related considerations: The key neighboring forms are the other person-number combinations of the same verb (confermerò, confermerai, confermerà, confermeremo, confermerete). Pronunciation typically places the stress on the syllable con-fer-me-RAN-no.
