eviterò

Eviterò is the Italian verb evitare in the first person singular future indicative. It translates roughly to "I will avoid" and is used to express an intention or plan to avoid something in the future. The form appears in everyday speech, writing, and media as a standard future tense construction.

Conjugation and form: Evitare is a regular -are verb, so its future tense is formed by adding the standard endings to the stem eviter-. The full set for the singular and plural persons is: io eviterò, tu eviterai, lui/lei eviterà, noi eviteremo, voi eviterete, loro eviteranno. The io form carries a stress on the final syllable, indicated by the accent on è.

Usage and syntax: Eviterò can take a direct object when indicating a thing to be avoided, for example "eviterò gli errori" or "eviterò un conflitto." More commonly it introduces an infinitive clause with di to denote what action will be avoided, as in "eviterò di fare tardi" or "eviterò di discutere." The construction with di is typical for verbs conveying intention or future planning. The choice between avoiding a thing directly and avoiding an action with di depends on the nuance intended.

Etymology: The verb evitare derives from Latin evītāre, and in Italian it maintains a similar meaning of shunning or keeping away from something. Eviterò, as the first-person form, is a standard example of how Italian forms the future tense for verbs ending in -are.
