aumentarão

Aumentarão is the third-person plural form of the Portuguese verb aumentar in the futuro do presente, also called the futuro simples. It corresponds to “they will increase” or, in practice, “you all will increase” when the subject is eles, elas, or vocês. As a regular -ar verb, its conjugation follows the standard pattern for this class: eu aumentarei, tu aumentarás, ele aumentará, nós aumentaremos, vós aumentareis, eles aumentarão.

Meaning and usage

Aumentar means to make something larger or greater, to raise levels, quantities, prices, or intensities. A forma aumentarão is used to talk about future increases involving multiple subjects. It is common in formal and informal contexts, including business, economics, policy, and everyday planning.

Etymology

Aumentar descends from the Latin augmentare, meaning to increase, through the Romance language evolution into Portuguese. The word is related to other terms denoting growth or enhancement, such as aumento (increase) and incremento (increment).

Examples

- As vendas aumentarão no próximo trimestre. (Sales will increase in the next quarter.)

- Se as taxas de juros aumentarem, os empréstimos aumentarão também. (If interest rates rise, loans will also increase.)

- Eles aumentarão o orçamento para pesquisa. (They will increase the research budget.)

Notes

In European Portuguese, utilizations typical of Brazilian Portuguese remain the same for this form; the corresponding pronoun often depends on the context. Aumentarão should not be confused with noun forms or participles; it is strictly a verb form indicating a future action by a plural subject.
