preferiréis

Preferiréis is the second-person plural form of the Spanish verb preferir in the simple future (futuro simple) indicative mood. It corresponds to “you all will prefer” in English and is used when addressing a group informally in Spain, where the vosotros form is common. In many Latin American varieties, speakers would use the third-person plural ustedes form and say preferirán.

Form and usage: The futuro simple is formed by attaching the endings -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án to the infinitive. Therefore preferiréis is built from the infinitive preferir plus the vosotros ending -éis. Unlike the present tense, where preferir undergoes an e→ie stem change (prefiero, prefieres, etc.), the future uses the base infinitive without a stem change. The pronunciation typically emphasizes the final syllable, due to the -éis ending.

Examples: ¿Qué preferiréis comer mañana? ¿Qué preferiréis hacer este fin de semana? These illustrate how the form is used to ask about future preferences when speaking to a group. Note that in contexts outside Spain, or where vosostros is not used, the corresponding form would be preferirán (ustedes) or another regional alternative.
