Relaxarás

Relaxarás is the second‑person singular future tense form of the verb relaxar in Portuguese and the future tense of relaxar in some Spanish dialects. The verb itself is a derivative of the Latin relaxare, which means “to loosen, loosen up, or relieve.” It entered the Romance languages by the late Middle Ages, with the Spanish form relaxar appearing in the 16th century and the Portuguese form arising around the same time. The meaning in both languages is essentially the same: to become less tense, to unwind, or to let go of stress.

In Portuguese, relaxar is used in both literal and figurative contexts. Literal usage refers to the physical act of easing muscle tension: “Depois de correr, ele relaxou os ombros.” Figurative usage expands to emotional or mental states: “Ela relaxará após a festa.” The verb is regular and follows the standard conjugation pattern, with relaxar–es–es, relaxar‑emos, relaxar‑ão in the present. The future simple, relaxarás, is formed by adding the appropriate personal endings to the infinitive stem: relaxar‑ás.

Spanish speakers, particularly in Spain and Latin America, normally use relaxará for “he/she will relax.” However, in some Spanish dialects such as Andalusian or certain Caribbean varieties, the form relaxarás can appear when addressing the second person informally, though it is considered nonstandard in formal registers. The Spanish verb relaxar shares the same Latin root and demonstrates the reciprocal influence of Portuguese on Spanish vocabulary.

Because relaxarás is a simple future tense form, it is often used in narrative or descriptive contexts to indicate a future action that will happen: “Estás cansado; te relajará la música.” In both languages, the word is widely understood and used in everyday speech, media, and literature.
