entenderás

Entenderás is the second-person singular form of the Spanish verb entender in the simple future indicative, meaning “you will understand.” It is used to indicate that the person being addressed will understand something at some point in the future, often to forecast comprehension or to reassure.

Etymology and form: Entender comes from the Latin intendere, through Old Spanish into modern Spanish as an -er verb. The future tense is regular for -er verbs, with endings such as -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án. Therefore, entenderás corresponds to tú in the future: you will understand.

Usage: Entenderás appears in conversational and written Spanish to express forthcoming understanding of an idea, explanation, or situation. Examples include: “No te preocupes; mañana entenderás.” “Te explico ahora; pronto entenderás.” “Entenderás por qué hice esto cuando lo veas.” It is common in informal speech and can be contrasted with “comprenderás,” which is slightly more formal or nuanced in some contexts.

Related terms: The noun form is entendimiento (understanding), and adjectives like entendible (understandable). Synonyms include comprender, though entender is more frequent in everyday language, while comprender can carry a more formal or comprehensive sense.

Notes: Entenderás is a straightforward example of a regular -er verb in its future form and illustrates how Spanish frequently uses the future tense to express anticipated comprehension in a direct, practical way.
