dicemus

Dicemus is a Latin verb form meaning “we will say” or “we shall say.” It is the first-person plural future indicative of the verb dicere, to say or to tell. In Latin grammar, dicere is a third-conjugation verb, with the stem dic- and the 1st person plural future ending -emus, giving dicemus.

In usage, dicemus denotes a statement about something that will be spoken or declared in the future. The exact translation depends on context. For example, Dicemus veritatem can be rendered as “We will tell the truth,” while Dicemus id might be understood as “We will say that.” The form is common in classical Latin texts and is routinely taught as an example of the third-conjugation future tense.

As a grammatical form, dicemus is not a standalone word with a meaning outside its verbal function; it is the specific inflected form of dicere. In reference works and grammars, it is listed as the 1st person plural future indicative of dicere and appears primarily in linguistic descriptions, language-learning materials, and translations of Latin passages.
