spaventerà

Spaventerò is the first-person singular form of the Italian verb spaventare in the future simple tense. Spaventare means to scare or frighten someone, and spaventerò specifically means “I will scare” or “I will frighten.” The future tense for -are verbs is formed by attaching the endings -ò, -ai, -à, -emo, -ete, -anno to the stem spavent-. The stress is on the last syllable, as indicated by the written accent on ò: spaventerò.

The full present-day conjugation in the future simple is: io spaventerò, tu spaventerai, lui/lei spaventerà, noi spaventeremo, voi spaventerete, loro spaventeranno. The form is regular in its pattern, and other related future forms follow the same endings with the appropriate subject pronouns.

Usage notes: spaventerò expresses a definite future intention to cause fear or surprise to someone or something. It requires a direct object to indicate what is being frightened, for example: Spaventerò i vicini con il rumore improvviso. By contrast, the pronominal form mi spaventerò means “I will get scared” (I will be frightened), used with reflexive meaning spaventarsi. Spaventare and spaventarsi are related but used in transitive and intransitive senses, respectively.

Etymology and related forms: spaventare derives from the noun spavento (fright, fear) and shares roots with other Italian verbs formed around the idea of producing fear. Related verbs include spaventare, spavento, and spaventoso, which describe phenomena or qualities that cause or relate to fear.
