expressarás

Expressarás is the second-person singular form of the Portuguese verb expressar in the futuro do presente (future indicative). It designates an action in the future in which the subject you (tu) will express or convey something, such as an idea, feeling, or information. The form is spelled with double s, as in expressar, which reflects the regular -ar verb class to which expressar belongs.

Conjugation and forms: expressar is a regular -ar verb, so its future forms are expressarei (eu), expressarás (tu), expressará (ele/ela/você), expressaremos (nós), expressareis (vós), expressarão (eles/elas/vocês). In everyday usage, the tu form is common in Portugal and some parts of Brazil, while the Brazilian standard often relies on você, whose corresponding form is expressará. The vós form expressareis is mostly encountered in very formal or regional contexts.

Usage and nuances: expressarás is used to indicate that you will express something in the future. It can refer to opinions, intentions, or feelings, and appears in both spoken and written Portuguese. Reflexive forms such as expressar-se (to express oneself) are also used when the subject is expressing or conveying something about themselves.

Etymology: expressar comes from the verb form expressare, derived from Latin expressus, meaning pressed out or expressed, and entered Portuguese with the sense of shaping or conveying thoughts, feelings, or information.
