bâtirez

Bâtirez is the second person plural future simple form of the French verb bâtir, meaning to build. It denotes a future action performed by you, plural or polite singular, and is commonly used in both planning and descriptive contexts.

As a member of the -ir verb family, bâtir forms its future tense by adding the standard endings to the infinitive: je bâtirai, tu bâtiras, il bâtira, nous bâtirons, vous bâtirez, ils bâtiront. The verb is related to the noun bâtiment (building) and to the past participle bâti, which is used to form compound tenses such as j'ai bâti.

Etymology traces bâtir to Old French bastir, with links to the concept of construction and the related noun bâtiment. The exact origin is uncertain, but the term has long been tied to the act of constructing and creating structures.

Usage notes: bâtirez appears in a variety of registers, from technical planning and architectural discourse to literary or conversational contexts when describing future construction or creation. It can also convey figurative meaning, such as building an idea or future prospects.

Examples:

- Demain, vous bâtirez une nouvelle école. (Tomorrow, you will build a new school.)

- Avec ces plans, vous bâtirez un avenir plus sûr. (With these plans, you will build a safer future.)
