inizierò

Inizierò is the first-person singular form of the Italian verb iniziare in the simple future tense. It translates to I will begin or I will start and is commonly used to express a plan, intention, or prediction about something the speaker intends to do in the near future.

Formation and forms: Iniziare belongs to the regular -are verbs, but its future stem changes to inizier- before the endings. The complete future conjugation is: io inizierò, tu inizierai, lui/lei inizierà, noi inizieremo, voi inizierete, loro inizieranno. The stress falls on the final syllable in all persons, as in inizierò, inizierai, inizierà, etc. This stem change is characteristic of several -iare verbs in Italian, producing the -ier- sequence in the future.

Etymology: The verb iniziare derives from the noun iniz (in principio) or from inizio, meaning “beginning,” which in turn comes from Latin initium. Through the suffix -are, the verb formed the common Italian term meaning “to begin” or “to initiate,” with the future tense adapting the stem to inizier-.

Usage: Inizierò is used to express a personal commitment to begin an action. It can take a direct object when referring to starting something, for example: Inizierò un nuovo progetto domani. It can also be followed by a or an infinitive to specify the activity: Inizierò a studiare italiano. In conversation, it can appear as a brief, stand-alone statement to signal an intended start: Inizierò.
