Assistirei

Assistirei is the first-person singular form of the Portuguese verb assistir in the future indicative. It expresses a future action and can denote either watching something (such as a film or program) or attending an event (such as a lecture or jogo), depending on the context. The verb assist ir has two common senses in Portuguese: to watch and to attend; it is not used with the meaning of “to help,” which is expressed by the verb ajudar.

Etymology and usage: assist ir derives from Latin assistere, meaning to stand by, be present, or attend. In modern Portuguese, assist ir retains both core senses, with usage varying by region and register. In everyday speech, speakers often prefer periphrases like vou assistir rather than the simple future form, especially for near-future events, but assist ire i remains common in formal writing or precise statements about planned actions.

Conjugation: In the future indicative, assist ir follows regular -ir verb endings: eu assistirei, tu assistirás, ele assistirá, nós assisteremos, vós assistireis, eles assistirão.

Examples: Eu assistirei ao filme amanhã. I will watch the film tomorrow. Ela assistirá à conferência na próxima semana. She will attend the conference next week. Nós assisting? Nós assisteremos ao concerto mais tarde. We will attend the concert later.

Notes: The form assist ire i is primarily used for stated, definite future actions. Depending on regional usage, prepositions may vary: assistir a (to attend) or assistir a ao/à when referring to attending events, and assistir (without a preposition) when used in the sense of watching something.
