Assistireis

Assistireis is a verb form in Portuguese, representing the second-person plural future indicative of the verb assistir. It expresses a future action by "you all" and can mean either to attend something or to watch something, depending on the object.

In European Portuguese, assistireis is standard in formal or literary contexts and remains in use. In Brazilian Portuguese, the form is uncommon and typically replaced by constructions like vocês vão assistir or vocês irão assistir. The form explicitly uses the pronoun vós, which is less common in everyday speech but appears in literature, religious texts, and some regional varieties.

Grammatical note: assistireis is the future do indicativo for the second person plural. It has the corresponding forms assistirei (I will attend/watch), assistiremos (we will attend/watch), assistireis (you all will attend/watch), and assistirão (they will attend/watch). The verb assistir itself has two main meanings in Portuguese: to attend (estar presente, often with a or à) and to watch or see (ver), with context clarifying the sense.

Examples:

Vós assistireis à reunião amanhã.

Vós assistireis ao espetáculo no sábado.

Etymology and related forms: assistireis derives from the Latin assistere, and is part of a regular pattern for the -ir verbs in the future do indicativo in the vós form. In modern usage, many Portuguese speakers favor the periphrastic forms with vocês (vocês vão assistir / vocês irão assistir) rather than the vós-based assistireis.
