empregarei

Empregarei is a verb form in Portuguese, belonging to the first-person singular of the simple future tense (futuro do presente) of the verb empregar? Actually, of empregar. It means “I will employ,” and can also be understood as “I will hire” or “I will use,” depending on context. The form is typically found in formal, literary, or official writing.

Conjugation and usage notes: Empregarei is derived from the stem empreg- plus the standard future endings for -ar verbs, yielding eu empregarei. It is a regular form, corresponding to other examples such as falarei (I will speak) or trabalharei (I will work). The future tense expresses actions that will occur in the future and is distinct from the near-future periphrases like "vou empregar." In a sentence, it may be used to indicate plans or commitments, often in careful or formal language.

Typical uses and nuance: Empregarei resources, time, or methods, or I will employ people. For example: "Eu empregarei os recursos disponíveis" or "Se necessário, empregarei outra estratégia." The word is not a noun; the related noun form is emprego (employment, job). Care is needed to choose the appropriate register; in everyday speech, speakers more commonly use periphrastic forms like "vou empregar" rather than the bare future "empregarei."
