Oirás

Oirás is the second-person singular future indicative form of the Spanish verb oír, meaning “you will hear.” It is used to indicate that the listener will perceive something by means of hearing in the future, for example: “Oirás las noticias mañana.”

Form and usage: Oirás is formed by adding the future tense ending -ás to the infinitive oír. The verb oír is irregular in several tenses, but its future forms follow the standard -er/-ir verb pattern after the infinitive. The accent on the a in oirás marks the stress on the last syllable, in line with Spanish orthography.

Etymology: Oír derives from Latin audīre. The Spanish oír and its future forms, including oirás, reflect the historical development of the verb from Latin into modern Spanish, with regularization of the future endings despite the irregularities in other tenses.

Cross-linguistic notes: In Galician, a closely related form with the same spelling exists and carries the same meaning: “you will hear.” In Portuguese, the corresponding form is ouvirás, which uses a different spelling but a parallel meaning.
