Contradecirás

Contradecirás is the second-person singular form of the verb contradecir in the simple future tense, corresponding to the English “you will contradict.” The verb contradecir means to deny, refute, or assert the opposite of what has been said. The future form is built from the infinitive contradecir plus the standard future endings: contradeciré, contradecirás, contradecirá, contradeciremos, contradeciréis, contradecirán. This form is regular for -ir verbs in the future, without changes in the stem.

Etymology and characteristics: contradecir is formed from contra- “against” and decir “to say,” reflecting the idea of speaking against a statement. The word contradecirás is restricted to the second-person singular and is used to indicate a future action of contradicting someone, often in dialogue or reported speech. In other persons, the corresponding forms are contradeciré (yo), contradecirá (él/ella/usted), contradeciremos (nosotros), contradeciréis (vosotros), and contradecirán (ellos/ellas/ustedes).

Usage: contradecirás typically appears in contexts where a future contradiction is anticipated or stated. It can express a planned response, a conditional scenario, or a prediction about what someone will say. Examples include: “Si te presentan pruebas contradictorias, contradecirás sus conclusiones” and “Mañana contradecirás lo que dijiste ayer, si no revisas los datos.”
