terminaremos

Terminaremos is a Spanish verb form that represents the first-person plural (nosotros) in the futuro simple, or simple future, of terminar. The infinitive terminar means to finish, end, or terminate, and terminaremos translates to “we will finish” or “we will end.” As a regular -ar verb, terminar forms its future by attaching the ending -emos to the infinitive, yielding terminaremos. This form is used to express a planned or expected completion by a group that includes the speaker.

Etymology and related forms: terminar comes from Latin terminare, meaning to bound or to end. Related Spanish forms include termino (term), término, and conjugations such as terminaré, terminarás, terminará, terminaremos, terminaréis, terminarán. The term can function in many contexts where completion, conclusion, or termination is being discussed.

Usage and examples: Terminaremos is used to state that an action will be completed in the future. Examples include: Terminaremos el proyecto mañana. (We will finish the project tomorrow.) Terminaremos a las cinco. (We will finish at five.) Terminaremos de cenar a las ocho. (We will finish dinner at eight.) It can express plans, promises, or expectations about the end of a process, and can appear with direct objects (terminaremos el informe) or with clauses indicating timing or conditions (terminaremos cuando termines ese capítulo).

Notes: Terminaremos conveys a definite sense of completion by a future point and is common in both spoken and written Spanish. In casual speech, speakers might prefer constructions like vamos a terminar or lo terminaremos, depending on emphasis and register.
