manterrò

Manterrò is the first-person singular form of the Italian verb mantenere in the future simple tense. It translates to “I will keep” or “I will maintain,” and is used to express a commitment to keep, preserve, or uphold something in the future, such as a promise, word, or obligation.

In usage, manterrò is commonly paired with a direct object that denotes what will be kept or maintained. Examples include Io manterrò la parola data (I will keep the word given) or Io manterrò l’impegno assunto (I will uphold the commitment undertaken). The form can refer to physical maintenance as well as abstract commitments, depending on the context.

Conjugation and related forms follow the verb mantenere. Other persons are manterrai (you will keep), manterrà (he/she will keep), manterremo (we will keep), manterrete (you all will keep), and manterranno (they will keep). The negative form is non manterrò, and the future forms are distinguished by accent placement, for example manterrò (I will keep) versus manterrà (he/she will keep).

Note that manterrò is a tense-form, not a proper noun or title. In written Italian, it appears in formal or narrative contexts where the speaker asserts a future pledge or an action of preservation. The form is part of standard Italian grammar and is widely understood in everyday and literary usage.
