offerbimus

Offerbimus is a Latin verb form functioning as the first person plural (we) future indicative active of the verb offerre, meaning we shall offer or we will offer. It appears in classical and post-classical Latin when describing future acts of offering, whether gifts, sacrifices, or proposals, depending on context.

Etymology and form: Offerre is a compound verb traditionally analyzed as from ob- 'toward' and ferre 'to bear' and belongs to the group associated with the ferre paradigm. The form offerbimus is built from the present stem offer- plus the typical future personal ending -bimus, yielding the meaning “we shall offer.” The principal parts of offerre are offerō, offerre, obtulī, oblātus, and offerbimus represents the future indicative active of that verb.

Usage and example: Offerbimus is encountered in formal or ceremonial discourse in Latin. An illustrative sentence is: Offerbimus munera populo Romano. Translation: We shall offer gifts to the Roman people. This form contrasts with offerimus (we offer) in the present tense and with other future forms of offerre found in different persons.

Notes: Offerbimus is primarily of grammatical interest for learners and scholars studying Latin verb conjugation. It is not a common everyday form outside didactic contexts, and in Latin prose it tends to appear in specific ceremonial or deliberate-sounding passages. Related forms include the other person and number futures of offerre (e.g., offertis, offerbimus, offerbunt) and the present offerimus.
