Futuras

Futuras is the feminine plural form of the adjective meaning “future” in Romance languages such as Portuguese and Spanish. It functions to describe feminine nouns and agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies. The masculine counterparts are futuro (singular) and futuros (plural), while the feminine singular is futura.

In Portuguese, futuras is commonly seen in phrases like as futuras gerações (the future generations) or as futuras oportunidades (the future opportunities). In Spanish, it appears in structures such as las futuras generaciones or las futuras oportunidades. In both languages, futuras derives from Latin futurus, meaning “about to be” or “that will be.”

As a grammatical form, futuras is not typically used as a standalone noun; it is principally an adjective in agreement with a following noun. In certain stylistic or editorial contexts, futuras may appear as part of titles or headings, or in symbolic uses, but such instances do not alter its core function as a feminine plural adjective.

Beyond everyday language, futuras is encountered in discussions about time, predictions, planning, and policy, where it helps frame what is anticipated or forthcoming. Related terms include futuro/futura (the base forms for masculine and feminine singular), generación (generation), and oportunidad (opportunity).
