vedremo

Vedremo is the first-person plural form of the Italian verb vedere in the future indicative, and translates to “we will see.” It is commonly used to express that the outcome will be determined later or that one will wait to learn what happens.

Etymology and form: Vedremo derives from the verb vedere (to see) and uses the irregular future stem vedr-, added to the standard Italian future endings. The full indicative future forms of vedere are: io vedrò, tu vedrai, lui/lei vedrà, noi vedremo, voi vedrete, loro vedranno. The stem vedr- reflects a historical change where the -dere verbs developed a softened or restructured stem in the future tense.

Usage: Vedremo is used in many contexts to indicate postponement or uncertainty about future events. It can be used literally, as in planning to observe what will happen, or idiomatically as a refusal to make a firm prediction. Examples include: “Vedremo cosa farà il tempo domani” (We will see what the weather will do tomorrow) and a short response like “Vedremo” to a question about outcomes, meaning “We’ll see.” It is common in conversation, journalism, and literary dialogue due to its neutral, non-committal tone.

Related notes: While vedremo is most often encountered as a verb form, it may also appear in titles, phrases, or quotations where the sense of anticipation or deferral of a decision is thematically relevant. In everyday Italian, it remains a versatile expression for postponing judgment or action.
