Afectarán is a Spanish verb conjugation. It is the third-person plural future indicative form of the verb afectar. The verb afectar means to affect, to influence, to impact, or to concern. Therefore, "afectarán" translates to "they will affect," "they will influence," "they will impact," or "they will concern."

This verb form is used to describe an action that will happen in the future and will have an effect on one or more people or things.

The future tense in Spanish is used to express certainty about a future event, or to make predictions. The ending "-án" is characteristic of the third-person plural in the future indicative for verbs ending in -ar, -er, and -ir, although the stem of the verb remains unchanged for regular verbs like "afectar". Understanding the conjugation of "afectar" is crucial for accurate communication when discussing potential future consequences or influences in Spanish.
