sentiranno

Sentiranno is the third-person plural form of the Italian verb sentire in the future indicative. It translates to "they will feel" or "they will hear" in English and is used for both senses of the verb.

Formation and spelling: For the upcoming tense of -ire verbs like sentire, the stem is sentir- and the endings are -ò, -ai, -à, -emo, -ete, -anno. Therefore, the loro form is sentiranno. This pattern makes sentir e a regular conjugation in the futuro semplice.

Usage: Sentiranno can express future perception of sensory experiences (hearing or feeling) as well as more figurative perception (noticing or recognizing). It is commonly used to describe future events, states, or consequences that involve perception or awareness.

Examples:

- Domani sentiranno i campanelli della chiesa. (Tomorrow they will hear the church bells.)

- Dopo l’intervento sentiranno subito sollievo. (After the operation they will feel relief immediately.)

- Se restano in silenzio, sentiranno i passi nell’atrio. (If they stay quiet, they will hear the footsteps in the foyer.)

Etymology and related forms: Sentire derives from Latin sentire, itself from the Proto-Italic root sent- meaning to feel or perceive. In Italian, sentirAware forms share a regular conjugation pattern within the meronymic family of -ire verbs. See also sentire (to hear or feel) and the broader Italian verb conjugation system.
