manterremo

Manterremo is the first-person plural future tense form of the Italian verb mantenere, meaning "we will maintain" or "we will keep." It is used to express future commitments, continuities, or promises to preserve a state, rule, or obligation. As a standard form, it appears in formal writing, news, policy statements, and everyday speech when referring to a collective action in the future.

Etymology and forms: Mantenere, the infinitive, derives from Latin, typically described as formed from a base related to keeping or holding and the -ere verb ending. The future stem кампerns the consonant cluster manterr-, yielding the form manterremo for the noi subject. Other future forms include manterrò, manterrai, manterrà, manterrai, manterrete, and manterranno. The present tense forms are mantengo, mantieni, mantiene, manteniamo, mantenete, mantengono; the past participle is mantenuto and the gerund is mantenendo. This verb belongs to the regular -ere group in its basic conjugation, with the irregularity appearing in the future stem through the double r.

Usage notes: Manterremo is commonly used to assert a future commitment or policy position by a group, such as governments, organizations, or teams. It can accompany nouns referring to agreements, standards, or obligations, for example: "Noi manterremo gli impegni presi" or "Noi manterremo le regole stabilite." In less formal speech, speakers may choose synonyms like mantenerci, continuare a, or sostenere a future action, but manterremo remains standard and clear in written Italian.
