Croîtrez

Croîtrez is the second-person plural form of the French verb croître in the future simple tense. It corresponds to the English "you will grow" or "you will increase" and is used with the subject vous. The form can denote concrete growth, such as an economy or population, as well as figurative development, like influence or momentum.

Etymology and form: croître derives from Latin crescere, and the modern spelling carries a circumflex on the i (croître). The full future tense of croître is formed with the stem croîtr- plus the standard personal endings: je croîtrai, tu croîtras, il croîtra, nous croîtrons, vous croîtrez, ils croîtront. The ending -ez in croîtrez identifies the second-person plural form.

Usage: croîtrez appears primarily in formal or literary contexts. In everyday speech, speakers may prefer alternative constructions such as vous allez croître or other verbs like augmenter or grandir, depending on nuance. croître is relatively common in written French, especially in historical, academic, or policy-related prose where precise or stylistically elevated language is desired.

Examples: Vous croîtrez rapidement si vous suivez ce plan. Cette région croîtra sous l’effet des investissements annoncés. Note that croître is often used with inanimate subjects (numbers, resources, influence) and can carry a sense of gradual, sustained increase rather than a sudden change.
