risponderò

Risponderò is the first person singular future simple form of the Italian verb rispondere, meaning to answer or to respond. It expresses a future action by the speaker, such as delivering an answer or replying to a question, and can convey intention, determination, or a promise.

In grammar, rispondere is a regular -ere verb. The stem is risponder-, and the future simple endings are added: io risponderò, tu risponderai, lui/lei risponderà, noi risponderemo, voi risponderete, loro risponderanno. The form risponderò corresponds to I will answer and is used when the subject is the speaker in the future.

Usage examples: "Risponderò domani alle tue domande." "Non preoccuparti, risponderò subito." "Se chiamerai, io risponderò non appena posso." The future simple can also convey determination or commitment in formal or written contexts, and is often preferred over periphrastic forms in standard Italian for straightforward statements of intention.
