irritareis

Irritareis is the second-person plural future indicative form of the Portuguese verb irritar, meaning “you all will irritate.” It is used in contexts that employ the archaic or formal second-person plural pronoun vós, which today is more common in historical texts, religious writings, or certain regional varieties of the language.

Morphology and usage notes: The form irritareis is built from the verb stem irritar plus the -eis ending that marks the 2nd person plural in the future tense. In contemporary Brazilian Portuguese, this pronoun and verb form are rarely used in everyday speech, with speakers typically substituting vocês vão irritar or vocês irritarão for the future. In many contemporary European Portuguese contexts, vós and its corresponding verb forms appear primarily in literary, ceremonial, or very formal registers.

Historical and dialectical context: Irritareis may be encountered in older literature, translations, or religious texts where the vós forms were standard. In regional varieties that preserve traditional conjugation patterns, irritareis can still appear, albeit infrequently, as part of a broader set of vós forms that include present irritais and past irritasteis.

Note: The term irritareis is a grammatical inflection rather than a lexical item with independent meaning beyond “you all will irritate.” Its relevance today is primarily historical or typographical, rather than common in everyday Portuguese usage.
