forjarán

Forjarán is the third-person plural form of the Spanish verb forjar in the simple future tense. It translates to they will forge and can refer to physical act of shaping metal as well as to metaphorical processes of creating, forming, or shaping something in the future, such as plans, reputations, or alliances.

Etymology and meaning: The verb forjar comes from the broader family of terms associated with shaping and forming, linked to the concept of a forge or smithy. The noun forja denotes the place where metal is heated and hammered, and the adjective or participle forjado describes something that has been shaped by such work. The future form forjarán is formed regularly from the infinitive forjar with the endings of -ar verbs.

Usage and nuances: Forjarán is used with subjects that are plural, such as ellos, ellas, or ustedes, to express a future action. It can denote literal metalworking or metaphorical processes, for example, forjar acuerdos, forjar un camino, or forjar un destino. Because it is a regular verb, its other tenses follow predictable patterns: forjaré, forjarás, forjará, forjaremos, forjaréis, forjarán in the future; and for- jagando in gerund form forjando, etc.

Related terms: forja (forge), forjado (forged), forjador (smith). The expression forjarse una reputación or forjarse un camino uses forjar in a reflexive or semi-idiomatic sense to indicate personal development or construction of something intangible.
