telefonerà

Telefonerà is the third-person singular form of the Italian verb telefonare in the futuro semplice (future simple). It means “he will call” or “she will call,” depending on the subject. The verb is regular, formed from the stem telefoner- plus the standard future endings: -ò, -ai, -à, -emo, -ete, -anno. Hence telefonerò, telefonerai, telefonerà, telefoneremo, telefonerete, telefoneranno.

Usage and meaning: Telefonare and its future form are used to describe a future telephone call. The same idea can be expressed with chiamare al telefono, but telefonare emphasizes the act of using a telephone. In context, telefonerà is commonly paired with a time reference or a subject noun, e.g., Lui telefonerà stasera, Maria telefonerà al cliente domani.

Pronunciation and stress: The stress falls on the final syllable in telefonerà. The form is unaltered in gender and number, with the ending indicating the subject (lui/lei/egli, or a named subject).

Etymology and related forms: The verb telefonare derives from tele- (far, distant) and phone (sound) via the borrowing paths of modern Italian. Related forms include telefonerò (I will call), telefonerai (you will call), telefoneranno (they will call), and the imperfect and subjunctive forms of the same verb.

Examples:

- Domani telefonerà al numero che ti hanno dato.

- Se tutto va bene, lui telefonerà alle tre.

- Lei telefonerà quando arriverà.
