détiendrai

détiendrai is the first-person singular future simple tense of the French verb détenir. Détenir itself means to hold, possess, own, or detain. Therefore, détiendrai translates to "I will hold," "I will possess," "I will own," or "I will detain" in English.

The future simple tense in French is used to express actions that will take place in the future. It is formed by adding specific endings to the infinitive of the verb. For regular -re verbs like détenir, the infinitive stem is used and the ending for the first person singular (je) in the future simple is -ai. So, détenir becomes je détiendrai.

This verb form can be used in various contexts. For example, "Je détiendrai la vérité" means "I will hold the truth." In a legal or official context, "Je détiendrai ce document" could mean "I will possess this document." If referring to detention, "Je détiendrai le suspect" would mean "I will detain the suspect." The precise meaning depends heavily on the surrounding sentence and the context in which it is used. It is a straightforward conjugation of a common verb, indicating a future action or state of possession or control by the speaker.
