Questions & Answers about Lei vedrà un cambiamento positivo in amore.

Why is it vedrà and not "vederà"?

Vedrà is the future tense of vedere (to see). Vedere is an irregular verb in the future tense: it drops the "e" from its stem. Instead of the regular pattern ("vederà"), it becomes vedrà. Since the subject is the formal "you" (Lei), we use the third-person singular ending -à.

The translation says "You", but doesn't Lei mean "she"?

Lei does mean "she", but when used as a formal pronoun (often capitalized), it means the formal "you" (singular). Because it is grammatically a third-person pronoun, it takes the third-person verb form vedrà. If this were the informal "you", it would be tu vedrai.

Is cambiamento related to the verb cambiare?

Yes! In Italian, you can often turn a verb into a noun by adding the suffix -mento to the stem, similar to "-ment" in English. So cambiare (to change) becomes un cambiamento (a change). Nouns ending in -mento are always masculine.

Why is it in amore instead of using an article like nell'amore?

When talking generally about broad areas of life, Italian often uses in without a definite article. In amore is a set phrase meaning "in love" or "in your love life" (like you might read in a horoscope). You use it when speaking about love as a general category.
