Usage Note

Spettante is the present participle of spettare used as an adjective meaning 'owed to' or 'due to' someone, especially in legal and administrative language: la quota spettante ('the share due'). The seed POS of 'verb' has been corrected to 'adjective' as this form functions adjectivally in standard usage. The verb spettare itself is used impersonally: spetta a te ('it is up to you / it is your due').

Examples

"Riceverà la quota spettante entro un mese."

Natural Translation

He will receive the share due to him within a month.
