confirmabuntur

Confirmabuntur is a Latin verb form meaning “they will be confirmed.” It is the future passive indicative, third person plural, of the verb confirmare, which can mean to confirm, to establish, or to strengthen.

Grammatically, confirmabuntur is formed from the present stem confirm- plus the future passive ending -abuntur, consistent with the conjugation pattern of first-conjugation verbs in Latin. The corresponding active future is confirmabunt, meaning “they will confirm.” The present passive form would be confirmantur, while the imperfect passive is confirmabantur.

In use, confirmabuntur appears in classical and post-classical Latin texts to indicate that a decision, status, or arrangement will come to be confirmed in the future. Because it is passive, the subject undergoes the action rather than performs it. Examples in practice are often legal, political, or ecclesiastical statements about the ratification or validation of agreements, decrees, or oaths. A simple illustrative sentence is Legati confirmabuntur, “The envoys will be confirmed.”

Related forms include the active future confirmabunt and other passive tenses such as confirmabuntur in contexts requiring future passive meaning, confirmabitur in the singular, or confirmabuntur in the plural. The non-finite forms include the passive infinitive confirmari and the past participle confirmatus, which appears in Latin constructions describing what has been confirmed.
