Diminuerai

Diminuerai is the first-person singular form of the French verb diminuer in the futur simple. It expresses a future action in which the speaker, je, will cause something to become smaller or less. Diminuer itself means “to decrease, to reduce, to lessen,” and diminuerai follows the standard pattern for regular -er verbs in the future tense.

Etymology and forms: The verb diminuer comes from Old French diminuer, which in turn derives from the Latin minuere, meaning to lessen or diminish. The futur simple ending -ai attaches to the infinitive diminuer, yielding diminuerai for je.

Conjugation: Je diminuerai, tu diminueras, il/elle diminuera, nous diminuerons, vous diminuerez, ils/elles diminueront. This form is used in written and formal contexts; in everyday speech, speakers may prefer the futur proche (je vais diminuer), but the simple future remains correct and common in many registers.

Usage: Diminuerai denotes an intentional, future reduction carried out by the subject. It takes a direct object when specifying what is being reduced. For example: “Je diminuerai mes dépenses ce mois-ci” (I will reduce my expenses this month). “Nous diminuerons nos déchets grâce à des mesures d’économie” (We will reduce our waste through conservation measures).
