réduirons

Réduirons is the first-person plural form of the French verb réduire in the futur simple. It expresses a future action of reducing something and translates as “we will reduce” in English. The form is used in statements about planned outcomes, predictions, or commitments, and appears in both formal and everyday contexts.

Morphology and etymology: Réduire derives from Latin reducere, passing through Old French reduire. In the futur simple, most -re verbs form the 1st person plural by adding the ending -ons to the stem réduir- (the infinitive minus the final -e). Thus nous réduirons is built from the stem réduir- plus -ons. The spelling preserves the accent on é and the characteristic root across related forms.

Usage: Example: Nous réduirons nos dépenses l’année prochaine. Nous réduirons les déchets si nous adoptons ce plan. The form coexists with near-future constructions such as “nous allons réduire” and with other future forms for nuance, such as “nous diminuerons” in some contexts.

See also: Other conjugations of réduire include je réduirai, tu réduiras, il réduira, nous réduirons, vous réduirez, ils réduiront. The verb is commonly used to discuss planned reductions in costs, emissions, or quantities, as well as in broader contexts of change over time.
