nourrira

Nourrira is the third-person singular form of the French verb nourrir in the future simple tense. It translates to “he will nourish” or “she will nourish” in English, and can also be used in the impersonal sense with neutral pronouns such as “on nourrira.” The form is used to describe a future action of providing nourishment or sustenance by a subject.

Conjugation and form: Nourrir is a regular -ir verb in the future tense, so its endings are the standard -ai, -as, -a, -ons, -ez, -ont added to the infinitive. Thus the full future simple forms include nourrirai, nourriras, nourrira, nourrirons, nourrirez, nourriront. The spelling nourrira preserves the double “rr” that exists in the infinitive nourrir.

Usage: Nourrira can refer to literal feeding or nourishing, as in “Il nourrira son enfant” (He will nourish his child), or to more figurative nourishment, such as “Ce plat nourrira un grand nombre de personnes” (This dish will nourish many people) or “nourrir une idée” (to nourish or nurture an idea). In narrative or formal writing, nourrira may describe actions expected to occur in the future by a mentioned subject.

Etymology and related forms: Nourrira derives from the French verb nourrir, itself from the Latin root nutrire, meaning to feed or sustain. Related forms include the present tense nourris, nourrit, and the past participle nourri, which together with other tenses convey the broader range of nourishment-related meanings in French.
