What does 'speramus' mean in English?

Answer 1

The Latin word 'speramus' is a verb. It's in the first person plural form of the present indicative tense. Its meaning in English tends to be '[we] are hoping, do hope, hope'. This meaning is due to its most common interpretation as 'expecting' or 'looking for', in the sense of good things. It even may be translated as 'believing in', 'trusting in' particularly in terms of God. But it also may be translated as 'anticipating', 'fearing', 'foreboding' in the sense of bad things to come.
