userò

Userò is a grammatical form in Italian. It is the first-person singular of the verb usare in the future semplice (simple future), and it means “I will use.”

Form and pronunciation notes: The future for -are verbs is regular, with the ending -erò for the first person singular. Therefore, the base is derived from usare and yields io userò, tu userai, lui/lei userà, noi useremo, voi userete, loro useranno. The acute accent on the final ò signals the stress on the last syllable when spoken.

Usage: Userò is used to express an intention, plan, or decision to use something in the future. It can refer to tools, methods, means, or materials. Examples include: “Userò quel dizionario per capire il testo” (I will use that dictionary to understand the text) and “Userò questa ricetta per preparare la cena” (I will use this recipe to prepare dinner). It can appear in both informal and formal contexts.

Related forms: Userare is simply the infinitive form means “to use.” The present tense form is “uso” (I use). The future form differs from other tenses, such as the condizionale (“would use” would be user-rei? actually useresti, etc.), but in everyday speech the futuro semplice is commonly used for simple future statements.
