vincerò
The English phrase "I will win" is translated into Italian as vincerò.
vincerò is used to express a person's confidence or intention to be victorious in a future competition or struggle.
How does it change in a sentence?
You can change the subject by altering the ending: use vincerai for the singular informal "you" (changing -ò to -ai) and vincerà for the third-person singular "he/she/it" (changing -ò to -à).
Did you know?
- While vincerò expresses a future win, the phrase vincere a mani basse means to win easily, literally 'winning with your hands low'.
- The word vincere shares a root with the English word 'convince', as both derive from the Latin 'vincere', meaning 'to conquer'.
- While vincerò expresses a strong intention, Italians often use the present tense vinco to express a certain future event in casual conversation, such as 'vinco domani'.
