Mencionaré

Mencionaré is the first-person singular form of the Spanish verb mencionar in the future indicative. It translates to “I will mention” in English and is used to indicate a planned or intended action of mentioning something at a future time.

Grammatical notes: Mencionar is a regular -ar verb, so its future indicative is formed by adding the endings -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án to the infinitive decir, yielding mencionaré, mencionarás, mencionará, mencionaremos, mencionaréis, mencionarán. This form is commonly used to express actions the speaker intends to perform, often in relation to information, details, or topics to be brought up later. The reflexive and clitic pronouns may appear attached or before the verb, as in Lo mencionaré mañana or Mañana lo mencionaré.

Usage and nuance: In everyday Spanish, mencionar describes the act of briefly bringing something into conversation or note, without implying extensive discussion. It is suitable for plans, commitments, or statements of intent. In formal or written contexts, it can introduce a forthcoming reference or clarification. Compared with verbs like presentar or comunicar, mencionar emphasizes the act of naming or alluding to a subject rather than elaborate discussion.

Examples:

- Mencionaré ese detalle en la reunión.

- Si surgen dudas, mencionaré las fuentes de la información.

- Mañana lo mencionaré en mi informe.
