Prévoira

Prévoira is the third-person singular form of the French verb prévoir in the futur simple tense. Prévoir means to foresee, anticipate, or provide for something, often in the sense of planning for future events or needs. The form prévoira is used with the subject il or elle.

The verb prévoir derives from Latin praevidere (prae- before + videre to see). Prévoir is part of the irregular -oir verb group, and in the futur simple its endings attach to the stem prévoir-: je prévoirai, tu prévoiras, il prévoira, nous prévoyrons, vous prévoirez, ils prévoiront. The form prévoira appears in sentences referring to a future action by a single third person, such as "Il prévoira les coûts du projet."

Usage and nuance: prévoira is commonly used to express forecasting or planning in the near or distant future. Examples include: "Il prévoira les dépenses du voyage" and "Elle prévoira les besoins en matériel pour le trimestre." The verb covers both practical planning and the anticipation of outcomes.

Related terms: the noun prévision denotes a forecast or projection, while prévu is the past participle meaning planned or foreseen. Prévoir also forms adjectives and other derivatives, such as prévisionnel or prévoyant, depending on context.
