Retaré

Retaré is the first-person singular form of the Spanish verb retar in the future simple tense. The verb retar means to challenge someone to a task, to dare someone, or to test someone’s abilities, courage, or resolve. It is commonly used in competitive, sportive, or rhetorical contexts to express an intention to oppose or push someone or something.

Conjugation and usage notes: As a regular -ar verb, retar forms its future simple with the endings -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án. Therefore the forms are: yo retaré, tú retarás, él/ella/usted retará, nosotros retaremos, vosotros retaréis, ellos/ellas/ustedes retarán. The form retaré carries a written accent on the final syllable to indicate the stress pattern of the future tense; it is distinct from present-tense forms such as reto.

Common constructions include retar a alguien (to challenge someone to do something) and retar a la suerte (to tempt fate) in less formal usage. Examples: Mañana retaré a mi hermano a una carrera. No voy a rendirme: retaré las adversidades que se presenten. Te retaré a una prueba de habilidad.
