laisseras

Laisseras is the second person singular form of the French verb laisser in the future simple tense. Laisser means to leave, to let, or to allow, and its sense can range from physically leaving something behind to permitting an action or abandoning a plan. Laisser is a regular -er verb, and its future simple endings are attached to the infinitive: je laisserai, tu laisseras, il laissera, nous laisserons, vous laisserez, ils laisseront. Therefore, laisseras translates to “you will leave” or “you will let/allow,” depending on the context.

Usage and constructions

Laisseras is used to describe a future action by the subject you. It can indicate leaving something somewhere, as in Tu laisseras le livre sur la table (You will leave the book on the table). It can also express allowing someone to do something, as in Tu laisseras ton frère entrer (You will let your brother come in). The verb appears in many common expressions with infinitives, such as laisser faire (to let it happen) or laisser tomber (to abandon or drop). It can also be combined with phrases like laisser de côté (to set aside).

Nuances

Because laisser covers both “to leave” and “to let/permit,” laisseras can lead to ambiguous translations without context. The exact sense depends on objects or complements in the sentence.

Etymology

Laisser comes from Old French and is a regular -er verb in modern French. Its meaning is historically linked to leaving behind or permitting.

Tu laisseras le livre sur la table. Si tu n’agis pas, tu laisseras passer l’occasion. Tu laisseras faire les choses et verras les résultats.
