descobrireis

Descobrireis is the second-person plural futuro do indicativo of the Portuguese verb descobrir, meaning "you will discover." It is used with the pronoun vós and is characteristic of European Portuguese, especially in formal, literary, or historical contexts. In modern Brazilian Portuguese, this form is rarely used; speakers typically express the future with phrases like vocês vão descobrir or vocês descobrirão.

Conjugation and form: The verb descobrir follows the regular endings of -ir verbs in the futuro simples. The full conjugation is eu descobrirei, tu descobrirás, ele descobrirá, nós descobriremos, vós descobrireis, eles descobrirão. The form descobrireis specifically corresponds to the second-person plural.

Usage and register: Descobrireis appears mainly in traditional or archaic registers, including classic literature and religious or historical texts. It can also appear in linguistic descriptions to illustrate the vós paradigm. In everyday speech across most contemporary Portuguese varieties, the vós form is infrequent, and other constructions are used instead to convey the same future meaning.

Examples: Descobrireis a verdade por meio da investigação cuidadosa. Se seguirdes as pistas com atenção, descobrireis o que procuram. These examples show how the form functions within sentences that employ the vós pronoun.
