intenderemo

intenderemo is a verb form used in Italian and derived from the verb intendere, meaning to intend, aim, or understand. The form is the first person plural of the future tense, translating to “we will intend” or “we will understand.” It is constructed with the infinitive root intend- and the future ending -eremo. In the present tense the corresponding form is intendiamo, while the past tense uses abbia intenduto.

The Italian verb intendere traces its roots back to Latin intendere, “to aim at, to direct, to extend toward.” This Latin root also gave rise to English words such as intention and intention. Across the Romance languages, similar forms exist: in Spanish the historical form intender, in French intendir, and in Portuguese intender are less common today but still understood as meaning “to understand” or “to mean.” The Italian imperative “intendo!” is rarely used in everyday speech, but appears in literature and formal discourse.

Common usage examples in contemporary Italian include expressions of purpose, such as “intenderemo il problema” (we will intend to address the problem), and in contexts of comprehension, “intenderemo le istruzioni” (we will understand the instructions). In legal and academic writing, intendere often marks the intended meaning of a text, as in “il testo intende mostrare...” (the text intends to show…).

Because intendere and its future form are integral to Italian sentence construction, learning the correct endings and contexts is essential for accurate communication in both written and spoken Italian.
