aproveitarás

Aproveitarás is the second-person singular future indicative form of the Portuguese verb aproveitar. It indicates that the subject addressed by the pronoun tu will take advantage of something or make good use of it in the future.

Usage and regional notes: The form is standard in European Portuguese and in varieties that preserve the tú form. In Brazilian Portuguese, where você is widely used, the corresponding future is typically expressed with vai aproveitar or aproveitará (third person singular), rather than with tu aproveitas. The verb apporter sense can be translated as to make use of, to profit from, to seize, or to enjoy time or resources. The reflexive form aproveitar-se de is used when the meaning is to take unfair advantage of someone or to exploit them, which has a negative nuance.

Meanings and collocations: Aproveitar can describe making good use of time, opportunities, resources, or advantages. Common expressions include aproveitar o tempo (to use time well) and aproveitar as oportunidades (to seize opportunities). The nuance ranges from practical utility to strategic gain, and the reflexive variant acrescenta a dimension de exploração quando used with de.

Examples:

- Amanhã aproveitarás a oportunidade que surgir.

- Se fores diligente, aproveitarás bem o teu tempo.

- Ela entende como aproveitar os recursos disponíveis.

Etymology and related forms: The verb aproveitar is related to the noun proveito, meaning profit or benefit, and has cognates in other Romance languages, such as Spanish aprovechar. Related forms include aproveitar-se (reflexive) and the various tense conjugations used with tu, você, and ele/ela.
