descerás

Descerás is a verb form in Portuguese, representing the second person singular future indicative of the verb descer, which means to descend or to go down. In English, it corresponds to the phrase you will descend.

Grammatical details and usage. The form descerás is used with the informal singular pronoun tu and denotes a future action by the addressed person. It is a regular future of an -er verb: the infinitive descer serves as the stem, and the ending -ás is added to yield tu descerás, with descerá for the third person singular. In European Portuguese and in some Galician dialects, tu descerás is common; in Brazilian Portuguese, speakers typically prefer you descerás to be expressed as você descerá rather than tu descerás, reflecting the broader use of the second-person pronoun you.

Etymology and related forms. Descer derives from Latin descendere, meaning to descend. The related forms include descerá (he/she will descend), desceremos (we will descend), desceríeis (you all will descend in contexts where tu is used in some dialects), and descerão (they will descend).

Examples. Tu descerás as escadas quando o elevador não funcionar. Descerá a colina se seguir esse caminho. These examples illustrate the future action attributed to the second-person singular in contexts where the tú form or its regional equivalents are used.
