📚 Etymology

The verb 'volver' comes from the Latin verb *volvere*, which meant 'to roll' or 'to turn around.' In Spanish, this meaning evolved into 'to turn' and, most commonly, 'to turn back' or 'return.'

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 'volverá' the only way to say 'He will return'?

No, you could also use the structure 'Va a volver' (the near future, 'He is going to return'). 'Volverá' (the simple future) is often used for slightly more distant or formal predictions, or simply because it’s shorter.

Does 'volverá' apply to things, too?

Yes! Just like 'it will return' in English. For example, 'La moda volverá en diez años' (The fashion will return in ten years).
