caminhareis

Caminhareis is the second-person plural form of the Portuguese verb caminhar in the simple future tense, used in European Portuguese. It translates to “you will walk” in English and is typically found when the subject is the archaic or formal pronoun vós, or in literary and historical texts that retain this form. In contemporary Brazilian Portuguese, the equivalent future form is usually rendered with vocês caminharemão or, more commonly, with periphrastic constructions such as vocês vão caminhar.

Conjugation and origin: Caminhar is a regular -ar verb, and caminhar in the futuro do presente with the second-person plural is caminhareis. The full standard conjugation in this tense is: eu caminharei, tu caminharás, ele caminhará, nós caminharemos, vós caminhareis, eles caminharão. The ending -eis reflects the regular -ar verb pattern for the vós form and has roots in the broader Latin-derived Portuguese verb endings.

Usage notes: Caminhareis is largely regional and formal. It appears more often in older texts, religious writings, or literature that preserves traditional address forms. In everyday modern Portuguese, speakers who use Brazilian Portuguese typically avoid vós forms and would express the idea with vocês caminharão or with a periphrastic construction such as vocês vão caminhar.

Example: Caminhareis até ao topo amanhã, se o tempo estiver bom. The sentence demonstrates the future action with vós as subject, aligning with formal or literary usage.
