fuirai

Fuirai is the first-person singular form of the French verb fuir in the future simple tense. The verb fuir means to flee, to run away, or to escape from something, and fuirai represents the subject “je” in the future. As with many French verbs, fuir is irregular in the present tense, while its future tense uses a more regular set of endings.

Etymology and conjugation context: fuir derives from Latin fugere, a root that appears in several Romance languages with similar meanings related to fleeing or escaping. In modern French, fuir is considered irregular in the present tense (je fuis, tu fuis, il fuit, nous fuyons, vous fuyez, ils fuient). In the future simple, it follows a more regular pattern for the -oir verb family: je fuirai, tu fuiras, il fuira, nous fuirons, vous fuirez, ils fuiront.

Usage: fuirai is used to express a future act of fleeing. It can be literal, as in escaping danger or a pursuit, or figurative, such as fleeing reality or responsibilities. In contemporary speech, speakers often prefer reflexive or other verbs for escapes, while fuir and its forms remain common in literary or formal writing.

Examples: Je fuirai loin d’ici dès que possible. Il fuira les conséquences de ses actes. Elle fuit déjà le regard des journalistes, et elle pourrait fuir également les accusations si nécessaire.

Related terms: s’enfuir (to flee, to run away, often used more commonly in everyday French), fuite (escape, flight).
