dipenderemo

Dipenderemo is the first-person plural future indicative form of the Italian verb dipendere, meaning “we will depend.” It expresses that a future outcome or decision will be contingent on some other factor, person, or condition. The verb itself comes from Latin dependere, formed from de- plus pendere, with the sense of hanging from or being subordinate to something.

In usage, dipenderemo is often followed by phrases introduced with da or by clauses that specify the condition, such as “da voi,” “dal tempo,” or “dai risultati.” It can be used in both formal and conversational Italian, though in many everyday contexts speakers prefer constructions such as dipenderà (it will depend) when making general statements, or dipenderanno when the subject is plural.

Examples:

- Dipenderemo dal tempo per decidere se partire. (We will depend on the weather to decide whether to leave.)

- Le future decisioni dipenderanno dai risultati ottenuti. (The upcoming decisions will depend on the results obtained.)

- Dipenderemo da voi per completare l’attività. (We will depend on you to complete the activity.)

Note: The form dipenderemo rarely stands alone as a complete sentence and is more commonly used within a larger clause or in dialogue to refer to a collective future dependence.
