réduirez

Réduirez is the second-person plural form of the French verb réduire in the futur simple, corresponding to "you will reduce" in English. It is used when addressing more than one person or a formal plural you in statements about future actions that involve decreasing quantity, size, or degree.

Réduire comes from Latin reducere “to lead back” and entered French through Old French, acquiring senses related to making something smaller or less. In the futur simple, the verb takes the regular endings for -re verbs: reduir- + ai/as/a/ons/ez/ont, yielding je réduirai, tu réduiras, il réduira, nous réduirons, vous réduirez, ils réduiront. Thus réduirez follows the standard pattern for this tense and stem.

In use, réduire is a transitive verb with a direct object: on peut réduire les coûts, réduire la consommation d’énergie, réduire la taille d’un fichier. It appears across domains—business, science, public policy, everyday speech—to express planned or hypothetical reductions. The form réduirez is commonly seen in written instructions, forecasts, or formal discourse.

Related forms include the infinitive réduire, the noun réduction, and the past participle réduit. The present tense of réduire is irregular (je réduis, tu réduis, il réduit), but the future remains as shown. The word is widely understood in contexts where decreasing or scaling back is being discussed.
