porranno

Porranno is the third-person plural future indicative form of the Italian verb porre, meaning to put, place, or set. It functions as a finite verb form and is used with an explicit subject in sentences that refer to what they will do in the future.

Etymology and morphology: porre derives from Latin ponere, and the Italian future forms add the standard suffixes for regular -ere verbs in the plural. The stem for the third-person plural is porr-, producing porranno. Spelling retains the double r due to the historical root and vowel harmony of Italian spelling rules.

Conjugation and related forms: The full future indicative of porre is: io porrò, tu porrai, lui/lei porrà, noi porremo, voi porrete, loro porranno. The form porranno appears exclusively as the third-person plural. Other tenses of porre exist in Italian, but porranno specifically marks an action they will perform.

Usage notes: Porranno is used to express an action that subjects will perform in the future, often with a direct object or a parameter being set or placed. Examples include: Loro porranno i libri sul tavolo. They will place the books on the table. Se porranno nuove condizioni, il negoziato continuerà. If they set new conditions, the negotiation will continue. In everyday speech, porre is less common in some regions, but the form porranno remains standard in formal writing and in narrative contexts.
