gouverneras

Gouverneras is the second-person singular futur simple form of the French verb gouverner, meaning to govern or to administer. It is a conjugated form rather than a standalone noun.

Etymology and meaning: The verb gouverner comes from Latin gubernare, itself from Greek kybernaō, and entered French via Old French. Gouverner as a verb denotes directing, ruling, or managing a body, territory, or organization.

Usage and form: Gouverneras is used with the subject tu and expresses a future action. It is part of the regular -er verb conjugation pattern in the futur simple: je gouvernerai, tu gouverneras, il gouvernera, nous gouvernerons, vous gouvernerez, ils gouverneront. In modern everyday speech, tu gouverneras appears less often; speakers typically use other constructions such as tu vas gouverner or tu gouverneras when appropriate, but the form remains correct in literary, formal, or historical contexts.

Pronunciation and orthography: The spelling follows standard -er verb endings for the futur simple. The final -as is pronounced as a simple open vowel [a] with the final s typically not voiced in standard French.

Examples: A sentence using the form might be: Quand tu gouverneras ce conseil, tu devras écouter les opinions divergentes. In historical or fictional texts, you might encounter phrases like: Tu gouverneras ces terres après la paix retrouvée.
