opporremo

Opporremo is the Italian verb form meaning “we will oppose.” It is the first-person plural (noi) in the future simple tense of the transitive verb opporre, which means to oppose, oppose a claim, or place in opposition to something. The form is used with a direct object, for example: Noi opporremo obiezioni al progetto.

Etymology and morphology: Opporre derives from Latin opponere, literally “to place against.” In Italian, the future tense for this verb employs a stem change to opporr- and the standard personal endings. For noi, the ending is -emo, yielding opporremo. The form clearly marks plurality and future intention, and it is contrasted with the present opporiamo (we oppose) or with other tenses like opporrei (I would oppose).

Usage and nuance: Opporremo is common in formal, argumentative, or political contexts where there is a need to express planned opposition to a proposal, rule, or idea. It conveys a resolute stance and is often followed by specific objections or conditions. It can appear in legal documents, policy debates, parliamentary discourse, or editorial writing. As with many Italian verb forms, it is most natural when the object of opposition is explicitly stated, such as obiezioni, proposte, or misure.

Related forms and examples: Other forms of opporre include oppongo (I oppose), opponi (you oppose), oppone (he/she opposes), and future forms like opporrò (I will oppose) or opporremo (we will oppose). The related noun opposizione (opposition) shares the same Latin root.
