Raccourciront

Raccourciront is the third-person plural form of the French verb raccourcir in the future simple tense. It translates to "they will shorten" in English and is used to describe an action by multiple subjects aimed at reducing length, duration, or complexity.

Grammatical notes: Raccourcir is a regular -ir verb, and the future simple forms are built by adding the standard endings to the infinitive minus the -ir. For ils/elles, the ending is -ont, yielding raccourciront. The stem remains raccourc- when forming the future tense. The form can appear in both formal and narrative contexts, particularly in planning, policy, or editorial discussions.

Usage: Raccourciront can refer to shortening physical length (such as a line, a document, or a procedure) or to reducing time or content (such as delays or program lengths). It is commonly used in administrative, technical, or literary contexts where a plan or forecast involves shortening several elements. The expression is most natural in written French and in reported speech or formal announcements, rather than in casual conversation.

Example sentences:

- Ils raccourciront les délais de livraison pour satisfaire les clients.

- Le comité prévoit qu’ils raccourciront les paragraphes pour rendre le rapport plus lisible.
