Caminharei

Caminharei is a verb form in Portuguese, representing the first-person singular of the futuro do presente (simple future) of the verb caminhar, meaning I will walk. It is a contracted spelling of caminhar-ei, a standard construction for forming the future using the root of the verb plus the suffix ei.

Caminhar is a regular -ar verb meaning to walk or to move on foot. The form caminharei appears alongside the other future forms such as caminharás, caminhará, caminharemos, caminhareis, and caminharão. This tense is used to express actions that will occur in the near or distant future and can indicate intention, plans, predictions, or promises.

Etymology-wise, caminhar comes from the Latin caminare, itself related to caminus or caminus- meaning a path or way, and is connected to related Romance-language verbs such as caminar in Spanish. The noun caminho (path) is a cognate, reinforcing the sense of moving along a route.

In usage, caminharei can appear in sentences like: Amanhã caminharei pelo parque, se o tempo permitir. Ele disse que caminharemos juntos até a cidade. The form is common in written and spoken Portuguese, especially in contexts requiring a clear statement of future action.
