caminharão

Caminharão is a verb form in Portuguese, the futuro do indicativo (simple future) of the verb caminhar, meaning “they will walk.” This form is used to describe actions that will take place in the future by a group. Caminhar is a regular -ar verb, so its future endings follow the pattern -ei, -ás, -á, -emos, -eis, -ão.

Conjugation overview: eu caminharei; tu caminharás; ele/ela caminhará; nós caminharemos; vós caminhareis (used in some varieties of European Portuguese); eles(as) caminharão. In Brazilian Portuguese, the sentence often uses “vocês caminharão” to express the plural second person, rather than a separate form for “vós.”

Usage notes: Caminharão is appropriate for stating that a group will perform the action of walking, whether toward a destination or as part of a plan. It is common in both formal and informal contexts, including written and spoken language. Examples include: “Eles caminharão até a praça amanhã.” or “Se eles caminharem mais, chegarão mais rápido.” The choice between caminhar and other verbs like andar can depend on nuance; caminhar emphasizes the act of walking by foot, often over a distance, whereas andar is a more general term for going on foot.

Etymology and cognates: Caminhar derives from the Latin caminare, with cognates in other Romance languages. The form caminhão does not relate to caminhar; it is a different word with its own meaning.
