Cesserai

Cesserai is the first-person singular form of the French verb cesser in the futur simple, meaning I will stop or I will cease. It is used to indicate an action that the subject plans to discontinue in the future.

As a regular -er verb, cesser follows the standard futur simple endings: je cesserai, tu cesseras, il/elle cessera, nous cesserons, vous cesserez, ils/elles cesseront. The stem cesser remains unchanged when adding these endings, producing the recognizable forms used in everyday speech and writing.

Usage of cesserai typically occurs with an infinitive of another verb, forming phrases such as cesserai de faire quelque chose, meaning I will stop doing something. For example: Demain, je cesserai de fumer. This pattern emphasizes the cessation of an ongoing habit or activity.

In context, cesserai can appear in narratives, plans, or statements of intent. It is most common in formal or written French, but it also appears in spoken language when someone states their future intention clearly.

Etymologically, cesser comes from the French verb cesser, itself meaning to cease or stop, with roots tied to older Romance languages. The form cesserai is solely a conjugated verb form and not used as a standalone noun or proper term. See also: cesser, futur simple, French verbs.
