piangerò

Piangerò is the first-person singular future indicative form of the Italian verb piangere, meaning to cry or to weep. It denotes a forthcoming act of crying or lamenting, either literal or figurative. The verb piangere derives from Latin plangere, related to lament or wailing.

Conjugation and usage: The full future indicative forms are io piangerò, tu piangerai, lui/lei piangerà, noi piangeremo, voi piangerete, loro piangeranno. In ordinary Italian, this tense expresses intention, prediction, or a future event. Example: Domani piangerò per la tristezza.

Cultural reference: The root appears in the famous aria Lascia ch'io pianga, from Handel's opera Rinaldo, where pianga is the present subjunctive form meaning that I may weep. This illustrates how related forms appear in classical music and lyric language.

Etymology and related terms: piangere derives from Latin plangere, with related words including pianto (crying) and piangente (weeping).
