reirá

Reiré is the first-person singular future indicative form of the Spanish verb reír, meaning “I will laugh.” It is used to express an action that the speaker expects to perform in the future or to indicate a future reaction to a situation.

Conjugation and form

In the future tense, reír follows the standard endings for -er/-ir verbs: -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án. Therefore the forms are: reiré, reirás, reirá, reiremos, reiréis, reirán. The infinitive reír carries an acute accent on the í, and in the future forms the stress is placed on the final syllable (e.g., reiré, reirás, reirá, reiremos, reiréis, reirán).

Etymology

Reír comes from Latin ridēre, with the modern Spanish form evolving through Old Spanish and the phonetic changes that produced the contemporary verb. The noun and related verbs such as risa and reírse share the same root, reflecting laughter and humor in Romance-language development.

Usage

Reiré is used to discuss future laughter or a future reaction to something humorous. It can appear in declarative or conditional contexts, often with time expressions like mañana, cuando, o tal vez. It is commonly found in narrative or conversational Spanish to convey expectation rather than a completed action.

Related forms

The verb reír also appears in other tenses and moods with stem changes in the present or imperfect, and it participates in pronominal forms (reírse) in which the action is performed with or upon oneself.
