Résoudrai

Résoudrai is the first-person singular form of the French verb résoudre in the futur simple (future simple). It expresses a future action meaning “I will solve.” It is used to indicate an intention or plan to solve a problem or puzzle at some point after the present.

Form and conjugation

The futur simple form uses the stem résoudr- plus standard endings: -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont. The full set for résoudre is:

je résoudrai

tu résoudras

il/elle résoudra

nous résoudrons

vous résoudrez

ils/elles résoudront

The stem résoudr- is derived from the infinitiveization of résoudre, which contrasts with regular -er verb stems. In usage, the future tense combines with adverbial time references such as demain, bientôt, or plus tard.

Usage notes

Résoudre is an irregular verb in several tenses, with the futur simple forming the standard -ai/-as/-a/-ons/-ez/-ont endings attached to the résoudr- stem. Je résoudrai is common in formal or written contexts and can appear in conditional clauses as well (e.g., si nous travaillons, nous résoudrions le problème). The form is distinct from the present tense résous, which means “you solve,” and from the past tenses of the verb.

Etymology

Résoudre comes from Old French resoudre, from Latin resolvere (re- “again” + solvere “to loosen, solve”). The modern form résoudrai reflects the historic stem résoudr- plus the regular future suffix.
