Questions & Answers about Abbiamo i risultati del sondaggio, ma non ne discuteremo.
Why is ne used here instead of a direct object pronoun like lo or li?
In English, you just say "discuss it", but in Italian, you often use the verb discutere with the preposition di (discutere di qualcosa - to discuss about something). Because the topic is introduced by di, you must use the pronoun ne to replace it, rather than a direct object pronoun like lo or li.
What exactly does ne refer to in this specific sentence?
Why is the word order non ne discuteremo?
What tense is discuteremo?
It is the simple future tense of discutere (to discuss), conjugated for noi (we). The -eremo ending is the standard "we" ending for regular -ere verbs in the future tense, giving us "we will discuss".
