podremos

Podremos is the first-person plural future indicative form of the Spanish verb poder, meaning "to be able" or "to can." It expresses that a future action will be possible or that a group will have the ability to do something. For example, "Podremos terminar el proyecto mañana" means "We will be able to finish the project tomorrow."

Etymology and form: Poder derives from Latin posse, and Spanish forms its future with the irregular stem podr- plus personal endings. Thus the forms include podré, podrás, podrá, podremos, podréis, podrán. The word podremos specifically corresponds to nosotros (we).

Usage: Podremos is common in everyday speech and formal writing to convey future capability or possibility. It can stand in statements of intention, promises, or predictions, such as in collaborative or planned actions: "Si trabajamos juntos, podremos lograrlo." It also appears in political, social, or motivational contexts as a forward-looking commitment.

Pronunciation: Podremos is typically pronounced with the stress on the second syllable: po-DRE-mos, phonetic transcription roughly [poˈdɾe.mos].

Related forms: Other forms of poder include puedo, puedes, puede, podemos, podéis, pueden, as well as future forms like podré, podrás, podrá, podremos, podréis, podrán. Understanding podr- as the irregular future stem is central to using poder correctly across tenses.
