participarão

Participarão is a verb form in Portuguese, the third person plural of the futuro do indicativo (future tense) for the verb participar. It expresses that a group of people or entities will take part in an activity or event. The form corresponds to "they will participate" or "you all will participate" when the subject is eles, elas, or vocês. It is a regular -ar verb conjugation in the future tense, formed from the infinitive participar with the suffix -ão for the third-person plural.

Etymology: from the verb participar, which in turn comes from Latin participare, related to the idea of taking part or sharing in something.

Usage: Common in both written and spoken Portuguese, including news, reports, and formal announcements. It is used with nouns referring to events, competitions, projects, or discussions. It can appear with prepositions depending on the context, as in "participar de" (to participate in) or, in some dialects, "participar em." In everyday speech, the periphrasis "vão participar" (they are going to participate) is also common.

Examples:

- Eles participarão do workshop na próxima semana.

- As equipes participarão do torneio este ano.

Notes: The futuro do indicativo form can be more formal or literary than the near-future construction "vão participar." Both convey the same basic meaning of an upcoming participation.
