atenderé

Atenderé is the first-person singular form of the Spanish verb atender in the simple future tense. It corresponds to the English phrase “I will attend to” or “I will take care of,” and its exact meaning depends on the context. It can refer to taking charge of a task or obligation, paying attention to something, or responding to a person or request, for example “Atenderé a sus necesidades,” “Atenderé la llamada,” or “Atenderé a lo que dices.”

Etymology and sense: atender comes from the Latin attendere, formed with ad- “toward” and tendere “to stretch, to direct.” In modern Spanish, its core meaning is to attend to or to take care of, with nuances including giving attention, listening, or providing service. The future form atenderé preserves these senses when expressing a commitment to act in the future.

Grammatical notes: atenderé is a regular irregular-verb form in the -er family, with the stress on the final syllable due to the -é ending. The full simple future paradigm is: atenderé, atenderás, atenderá, atenderemos, atenderéis, atenderán. The verb often pairs with prepositions such as a (atender a alguien, atender a una necesidad) to indicate the person or matter being attended.

Usage examples: “Atenderé a tus dudas en cuanto termine la reunión.” “Prometo atenderé la llamada en cuanto sea posible.” “La enfermera atenderá al paciente de inmediato.” These illustrate attending to people, needs, or inquiries, as well as answering calls or addressing concerns.
