peggiorerà

Peggiorerà is the third-person singular future simple form of the Italian verb peggiorare, meaning "he/she/it will worsen" or "will get worse." It is used to describe a future deterioration of a condition, situation, or event. The verb can also be used transitively to indicate that something will worsen something else, as in peggiorare una situazione.

Etymology and form: peggiorare derives from the adjective peggior (worse), which itself comes from Latin peior, the comparative of malus "bad." The -are ending marks it as a regular first-conjugation verb. The related adjective peggiore means "worse," and the noun peggioramento refers to the process or act of worsening.

Usage: Peggiorare appears in journalism, medicine, economics, politics, and everyday speech to indicate deterioration. It is often contrasted with migliorare, which means to improve. Distinctions include pegioresi as reflexive usage (si peggiora) to express that something is worsening by itself, versus peggiorare something intransitively (to worsen a situation) which takes a direct object.

Conjugation and forms: Common forms include present indicative: io peggioro, tu peggiori, lui/lei peggiora, noi peggioriamo, voi peggiorate, loro peggiorano; imperfect: io peggioravo, tu peggioravi, lui peggiorava, noi peggioravamo, voi peggioravate, loro peggioravano; future: io peggiorerò, tu peggiorerai, lui/lei peggiorerà, noi peggioreremo, voi peggiorerete, loro peggioreranno; past participle: peggiorato; gerund: peggiorando.

Examples: "Se non interveniamo, la situazione peggiorerà." "La malattia ha peggiorato la condizione del paziente." "La situazione si è peggiorata negli ultimi mesi."
