Questions & Answers about Voi avrete un'azienda e sarete indipendenti.
Why is the future tense of "avere" here avrete instead of "averete"?
In the future tense, avere is irregular. Instead of keeping the vowel from its infinitive ending (which would make it "averete"), it drops that vowel completely. The stem becomes avr-, and then you add the regular voi future ending -ete, giving you avrete.
Where does the word sarete come from?
It is the future tense of essere (to be) for voi. Essere is highly irregular in the future tense and uses the special stem sar-. You then add the regular future endings to it, so for voi, it becomes sar- + -ete = sarete.
Why is there an apostrophe in un'azienda?
Azienda is a feminine noun that starts with a vowel. The feminine word for "a/an" is normally una, but when the following word starts with a vowel, the final "a" is dropped and replaced with an apostrophe for smoother pronunciation. (Remember: masculine words starting with a vowel just use un without an apostrophe!)
Why does the adjective indipendenti end in -i?
