Évoquerai

Évoquerai is the first-person singular form of the French verb évoquer in the future simple tense. Évoquer means to evoke, to call forth, to bring to mind, or to mention something, and can be used to refer to recalling memories, summoning ideas, or introducing a topic in discussion. In English, it is typically translated as “I will evoke” or “I will mention.”

The verb évoquer comes from the Latin evocare, meaning to summon or call forth, and entered French through Old French. In written French, the form évoquerai appears as a single word with the acute accent on the first e and the final -ai ending common to the future simple of -er verbs.

Évoquerai is used to express a specific future action by the speaker. It can replace or accompany near-future constructions in formal writing or narration. In everyday speech, speakers may prefer the periphrastic future with aller or the expression aller évoquer, though j’évoquerai remains correct and clear. Typical contexts include planning to address a topic, to recall a memory, or to mention a detail at a future time. Example: J’évoquerai ce point lors de la réunion; Demain, j’évoquerai mes souvenirs de voyage.

Conjugation and related forms follow the regular -er verb pattern. Other forms include j’évoque (present), j’évoquais (imperfect), j’ai évoqué (passé composé), évocation (noun), and évoqué (past participle). Pronunciation is approximately [e.vo.ke.ʁe].
