📚 Etymology▼
Comes from the Latin verb *dīcere*, meaning 'to say' or 'to speak.' The irregular stem 'dir-' developed over time as the Spanish language evolved, making the word easier to pronounce quickly.
First recorded: The base verb 'decir' has been fundamental since the earliest forms of Spanish (around the 10th century).

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 'dirás' spelled with an 'i' instead of an 'e' if the base word is 'decir'?
This is a classic Spanish irregularity! When conjugating 'decir' (and a few other verbs) in the future tense, the stem changes from 'dec-' to 'dir-'. This is a historical sound change that you just have to memorize, similar to how 'hacer' becomes 'har-.'
Can I use 'vas a decir' instead of 'dirás'?
Yes, absolutely! 'Vas a decir' (you are going to say) uses the near future structure and is extremely common in spoken Spanish, often more common than the single-word future form 'dirás', especially for immediate plans.
