risponderai

Risponderai is the second-person singular simple future tense form of the Italian verb rispondere, meaning “you will answer.” It is used to indicate that the subject will perform the action of answering at some point in the future. Rispondere is a regular -ere verb, and its future tense for the tu form is created by adding the ending -ai to the stem risponder-, yielding risponderai, with related forms including risponderò, risponderà, risponderemo, risponderete, and risponderanno.

In practice, risponderai appears in direct discourse or in sentences that forecast an action by someone addressed as “you.” It can express intention, a promise, or a prediction about a future event. The form is common in everyday conversation as well as in written Italian, particularly when assigning tasks, describing plans, or detailing expected responses.

The word risponderai derives from rispondere, which ultimately goes back to Latin respondere. As a verb form, it is not a noun or a name; it functions as a conjugated predicate that agrees with the subject in person and number.

Examples:

- Domani risponderai alle domande del pubblico.

- Se ti chiedono qualcosa, risponderai con calma.
