conteremo

Conteremo is the first-person plural form of the Italian verb contare in the simple future tense. It is used to indicate that “we will count” or “we will tally” something, such as numbers, votes, or items. As a standard conjugation, conteremo appears in formal and informal writing and speech when describing future counting actions.

Formation and grammar

Conteremo is derived from the stem conter- added to the future ending -emo. For other persons, the corresponding forms are conterò (I will count), conterai (you will count), conterà (he/she will count), conterete (you all will count), conteranno (they will count). The verb contare is a regular -are verb, so its future forms follow the standard pattern for this class.

Usage

Conteremo is commonly found in contexts involving tallies, inventories, data collection, elections, or any situation where counting is projected to occur. Examples include: “Conteremo i voti domani” (We will count the votes tomorrow) and “Conteremo le presenze al concerto” (We will count the attendees at the concert). The form is primarily used in statements about forthcoming counting activities by a group including the speaker.

Notes

As a conjugated verb, conteremo is distinct from contare in infinitive usage; it cannot replace the infinitive in phrases that require the base form. If capitalized, Conteremo could function as a proper noun or title in a fictional or brand context, but this usage is situational and uncommon.
