dipenderà

Dipenderà is the third-person singular future tense form of the Italian verb dipendere, meaning “to depend.” In use it translates as “it will depend” or “it will depend on,” typically followed by a factor introduced with da (dipenderà da). The verb derives from Latin dependere, from de- “from” and pendere “to hang” or “to weigh,” reflecting a sense of being contingent on something else.

Usage and examples

Dipendere is an intransitive verb that takes a dependent element introduced by da or a subordinate clause. Dipenderà is commonly employed to express future uncertainty or contingency. Examples:

- Il successo dipenderà dalla tua dedizione. (The success will depend on your dedication.)

- Dipenderà dal tempo se la partita si giocherà. (It will depend on the weather whether the game will be played.)

- Quello che accadrà dipenderà da come ti comporterai. (What will happen will depend on how you behave.)

Conjugation notes

In the present indicative the forms are dipendo, dipendi, dipende, dipendiamo, dipendete, dipendono. The imperfect is dipendevo, dipendevi, dipendeva, dipendevamo, dipendevate, dipendevano. The future simple includes dipenderò, dipenderai, dipenderà, dipenderemo, dipenderete, dipenderanno, with the final syllable stress on -rà in all -rà forms (e.g., dipenderà). The verb follows regular -ere conjugation patterns in these tenses. Dipendere and its forms are common in both spoken and written Italian to articulate outcomes conditioned by other factors.
