"Eu não poderei ir à reunião."

Translation: I will not be able to go to the meeting.

[raoulou]

why "eu poderei" is "can" and not "could"??? eu poderei isn't the past ?????

[Jan-Olav]

I think it is future tense...

[nicat]

Shouldn't "reunion" work as well as "meeting"?

[Paulo_Hen-]

yes

[ajtayl]

"I am not able to go to the meeting is unacceptable", while "I am unable to go to the meeting is fine". They're exactly the same.

[emeyr]

I will not be able to go to the meeting. = I can't go to the meeting. (Both represent the future tense: poderei)

[MeiaSala]

I keep hearing "ir na reuniao" on both speeds. Grr..

[Paulenrique]

The robot voice says "à reunião", but natives say "na reunião". =)

If you wanted to translate "I cant come to the meeting" from English, you would use this phrase, with ir. Yet it is not a correct translation back?
