Hi thierry!

Check the context for that word. The first thing in my mind is the future first person tense for the verb escapar, but that would require a é on the end. Without the tilde, the word is the future subjunctive which is (I understand) rarely used.

Here's a link to the conjugation page for the verb.

An interesting aside to that word it is probably from the Italian "Scappare " -

to escape,

the word morphed into the Cockney vernacular and they use it as "scarper"

which is slang for get going , escape from here the rozzers are coming .

we must ask Ian and Eddy they would most likely have used it in their

colourful past lives , I know I have.

Another meaning is that it came from the Italian for shoes "scarpe" so to run

off quickly show a clean pair of shoe heels , I prefer the former .

For those who are even more puzzled now rozzers is slang for police. - MaryMcc, Nov 26, 2011

Birdland, with all respect I will escape is escaparé (not escapará)

Sorry I checked it in the translator and used the answer it gave. I should have relied on my instincts so there is a lesson learned red face

Here's the link: microsoft

Very sorry. shut eye

The machine translator is horrible when it comes to recognizing personal pronouns. - 0074b507, Nov 22, 2011

Are you sure that isn't a typo? It could be you're looking for escaparate click here: escaparate

If it isn't that but truly something like I'll escape" then you're after escapará

Yes, that should be "é " in the end.

So this is "i will escape", right?

And adding "é" to a verb that ends in AR making it future tense?

Yes, with the é it makes it into the future indicative: I will escape :) - FELIZ77, Nov 22, 2011
As dog correctly said (above) the future subjunctive is rarely used in Spanish except for written literary works it has become obselete in spoken Spanish - FELIZ77, Nov 22, 2011
