afilaré

Afilaré is the first-person singular form of the Spanish verb afilar in the future tense. It translates to "I will sharpen" in English and is used to express a planned or forthcoming action of sharpening something, such as a blade or edge.

Grammatically, afilaré is regular; it is formed by attaching the future tense ending -é to the infinitive afilar. All other persons use the same set of endings: afilarás, afilará, afilaremos, afilaréis, afilarán. The stem remains the infinitive, and the form is pronounced with the stress on the final syllable, as indicated by the written accent.

Pronunciation: IPA /a.fi.laˈɾe/. The accent on é marks the stress on the last syllable, which is typical for many future tense forms in Spanish.

Usage examples include sentences such as "Mañana afilaré el cuchillo" (Tomorrow I will sharpen the knife) and "Si consigo la piedra, afilaré las tijeras" (If I get the stone, I will sharpen the scissors). The subject Yo is often explicit or omitted in Spanish, as the verb form itself carries the person and number.

Notes: The form afilaré is used in standard Spanish and follows regular conjugation patterns for -ar verbs in the future tense. It serves as a concise way to express an intention or plan to sharpen something in the near future. See also afilar for the base verb and Spanish verb conjugation patterns.
