paraîtrons

Paraîtrons is the first-person plural form of the French verb paraître in the future simple tense, meaning “we will appear” or “we shall appear.” As a finite verb form, it is used with the subject nous to indicate a future occurrence of appearing, whether in a physical, literal sense or in a figurative sense of becoming visible or evident.

Etymology and form: Paraître is an irregular -re verb. In the future simple, it forms the stem paraîtr- and attaches the standard -ons ending for the nous form, yielding paraîtrons. The spelling reflects the verb’s idiosyncratic pronunciation, including the acute accents that accompany related present forms and the characteristic i-continued vowel in the stem.

Usage: Paraîtrons appears in formal or written French, and in contexts where a precise statement about the future is required. It can denote a future appearance before people or places, or be used metaphorically to indicate that something will become apparent. Because it is a specific conjugation, paraîtrons is most commonly encountered in complete sentences rather than as a standalone word.

Examples:

- Nous paraîtrons devant le jury demain. (We will appear before the jury tomorrow.)

- Lorsque le rideau se lèvera, nous paraîtrons sur scène. (When the curtain rises, we will appear on stage.)
