portaberis

Portaberis is the second-person singular future passive indicative form of the Latin verb portare, meaning “to carry.” It translates as “you will be carried” and is used when the subject is the recipient of the action rather than its doer. The form is built from the verb stem porta- and the standard future passive ending -beris, placing it within the first conjugation of Latin verbs.

Morphology and classification: In Latin, the future passive endings for the six-person paradigm are -bor, -beris, -bitur, -bimur, -bimini, -buntur. Therefore portaberis corresponds to the second-person singular of the future passive. This makes it a grammatically regular but relatively infrequent form in everyday Classical Latin, where authors more often express the idea with other structures or with active voice when appropriate.

Usage and context: Portaberis can appear in prose and poetry to express that the subject will undergo the action of carrying or bearing something or someone. It is a standard example in Latin grammars to illustrate the -beris future passive endings. In many contexts, speakers or writers may prefer alternative constructions or passive periphrasis, but portaberis remains a valid and recognizable form within Latin verb conjugation.

Example and translation: Portaberis. Translation: You will be carried. As a form, it underscores the recipient of the action and is typically encountered in grammatical study or in texts that aim to demonstrate Latin morphology rather than as a common colloquial usage.
