equivocaré

Equivocará is a verb form in Spanish, the third-person singular of the simple future indicative of the verb equivococar. As a transitive verb, equivococar means to cause someone to be mistaken, to misstate or to confuse something such as a fact, figure, or judgment. The verb can be used with a direct object and, in its reflexive counterpart, equivocarse, it expresses making a mistake oneself. The related noun equivocación denotes an error or misconception, while the adjective equivocado describes something or someone that is wrong or mistaken.

Equivocar is a regular -ar verb in its conjugation. In addition to equivocará, common forms include present: equivoca, equivocas, equivoca; preterite: equivoqué, equivocaste, equivocó; imperfect: equivocaba, equivocabas; future: equivocaremos, equivocarán; and present subjunctive: equivoque, equivoques, equivoque, equivoquemos, equivoquéis, equivoquen. The reflexive form equivocarse follows its own paradigm, meaning “to be mistaken” or “to mistake oneself.”

Usage notes: equivocará typically describes a future action of causing error or confusion by someone or something. It can be used in contexts such as reporting, calculations, or interpretations where a forthcoming action is expected to lead to an error if not corrected. Distinguish equivocarlo or equivocarse by context: the former tends to imply causing others to err, while the latter centers on the subject making an error.
