vorranno

Vorranno is the third-person plural form of the Italian verb volere in the futuro semplice (simple future). The verb volere is irregular, and in this tense its stem changes to vor- before the standard future endings: -ò, -rai, -rà, -remo, -rete, -ranno. Therefore, loro vorranno means “they will want” or “they will be willing.”

Usage and meaning: Vorranno expresses a future intention, desire, or willingness to perform an action. It is commonly followed by an infinitive to indicate what is desired, as in loro vorranno venire (they will want to come). It can also appear in subordinate clauses: Se vorranno, lo faranno (If they want to, they will do it). The form is versatile in narrative and formal or informal speech.

Related forms and contrasts: Volere participates in several related forms with different meanings. Present tense forms include voglio, vuoi, vuole; the imperfect is volevo, volevi, voleva; the conditional is vorrei (I would like). The future tense also includes other persons: io vorrò, tu vorrai, lui vorrà, noi vorremo, voi vorrete, loro vorranno.

Etymology: The Italian volere derives from the Latin velle, meaning “to wish” or “to want.” In Italian, volere is part of a small group of modal-like verbs whose stems undergo vowel or consonant changes across tenses.

In summary, vorranno is the standard futuro semplice form used to state that a group will want or be willing to do something in the future, with typical usage in both written and spoken Italian.
