Désignerai

Désignerai is the first-person singular form of the French verb désigner in the future simple tense. It is a verb form rather than a noun, and it translates roughly as “I will designate” or “I will appoint.” The form is used to express a future action in which the speaker intends to designate, name, or identify someone or something.

The verb désigner comes from Latin designare, meaning to mark out or designate. In French, désigner is a regular -er verb, so its future simple endings are -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont. Therefore, the full conjugation in the future simple is: je désignerai, tu désigneras, il/elle désignera, nous désignerons, vous désignerez, ils/elles désigneront. The spelling remains unchanged for the root plus the endings, aside from the accent in désigner.

Usage tends to be formal or narrative. In a sentence: « Demain, je désignerai un nouveau porte-parole. » The phrase can refer to appointing someone to a role, or simply indicating that one will designate or identify something in the future. It is common to compare with other tenses, such as the near future « je vais désigner » for a more immediate intention.

Désignerai is not a standalone noun or proper name; it is strictly a verb form. When encountered in text, it should be parsed as a verb rather than a name. The form is widely understood by speakers of standard French in France, Belgium, Canada and other French-speaking regions.
