Atribuirá

Atribuirá is a Portuguese verb form corresponding to the third-person singular of the futuro do presente (simple future) of the verb atribuir. The basic meaning of atribuir is to attribute, ascribe, or assign a property, action, or responsibility to someone or something. In use, it expresses that a subject will attribute something to another entity.

Atribuir is transitive and commonly appears with constructions such as atribuir algo a alguém (to attribute something to someone) and atribuir responsabilidade ou culpa a alguém (to attribute responsibility or blame to someone). It can also be used with non-material attributions, for example atribuir valor, significado, ou importância a algo. The form atribuirá specifically indicates that the attribution will occur in the future, as in ele/ela atribuirá.

Conjugation for the futuro do presente (regular pattern for this verb): eu atribuirei, tu atribuirás, ele/ela atribuirá, nós atribuiremos, vós atribuireis, eles atribuirão. The 3rd person singular form, atribuirá, is the one highlighted by the entry title.

Etymology: atribuir derives from Latin attribuere, formed from ad- (to) and tribuere (to grant, to allot). The sense evolved in Romance languages to cover the act of ascribing or assigning a quality, fact, or responsibility to someone or something.

Usage notes: Atribuir is common in formal and informal contexts, including journalism, analysis, law, and everyday speech. The future form “atribuirá” appears when the writer or speaker refers to a forthcoming attribution, often in narrative or reportorial contexts.
