attribuera

Attribuera is the third-person singular future simple form of the French verb attribuer. The verb means to attribute, assign, or ascribe something to someone or something, or to allocate or grant something in various contexts. The form attribuera signals that the action will take place in the future by a specific subject, for example a committee or a report.

Etymology and usage context

Attribuer comes from Latin attribuere, formed from ad- (toward) and tribuere (to assign, to allot). In modern French, attribuer is used in formal and written language to indicate that a causal link, responsibility, credit, or object is being ascribed to a person, group, or factor. The future tense attribuera is commonly used with the subject finishing the statement that something will be attributed to someone or something else, often in reports, analyses, or deliberations.

Construction and examples

Attribuera typically governs a direct object (the thing being attributed) and a phrase with à to indicate the recipient or target of the attribution, for example: "Le comité attribuera le prix au lauréat," or "Le rapport attribuera à ce facteur une part du problème." It can also introduce a causal attribution, as in "On attribuera ce succès à cette collaboration." The verb forms congruent with the subject, tense, and mood (e.g., futur simple, conditionnel, etc.) follow standard French conjugation patterns.
