Quebrará

Quebrará is the third‑person singular future tense form of the Spanish and Portuguese verb “quebrar,” meaning “to break.” It is used with the subjects él, ella, usted (he, she, you formal) in Spanish and ele, ela, você in Portuguese, and it expresses an action that will occur in the future.

In Spanish the future indicative of quebr‑ar is formed by adding the ending –á to the infinitive stem quebr‑, producing quebr‑á. The same pattern applies in Portuguese, where quebr‑á also yields quebrará. Both languages use the form in spoken and written registers, and the negative counterpart is “no quebrará” in Spanish or “não quebrará” in Portuguese.

The literal sense of quebrará denotes physical breakage, such as “La rama se quebrará en la tormenta” (The branch will break in the storm) or “A caixa se quebrará” (The box will break). Figuratively it can refer to failure, bankruptcy, or emotional loss: “Su empresa quebrará” (His company will go bankrupt) or “Su corazón se quebrará” (His heart will break). Colloquial alternatives, such as “se romperá” in Spanish or “separtirá” in Portuguese, are also common but carry slightly different nuances.

Etymologically, “quebrar” derives from Latin “quaterēre,” which itself comes from “quartus” (fourth) and implies cutting something into pieces, i.e., breaking. The verb is related to forms such as “quebré” (I broke), “quebrado” (broken), and “quebraría” (would break). Quebrará is listed in standard dictionaries of both languages and appears in contemporary corpora, illustrating its regular use in both Spanish and Portuguese.
