GIVE ANSWERS - IsiZulu

In Zulu, a Bantu language spoken primarily in South Africa, expressing the future tense involves using specific verb prefixes that indicate an action will take place in the future. Here's a brief overview of how to express the future tense in Zulu:

1. Simple future tense: 

To express the simple future tense in Zulu, you can use the future tense prefix "zo-" (or its variant "zou-") combined with the verb stem. Additionally, you need to add a subject concord before the future tense prefix, which agrees with the subject noun in terms of noun class.
Example:

Ngi-zo-hamba (I will go)

where "ngi-" is the subject concord for the first person singular, "zo-" is the future tense prefix, and "hamba" is the verb stem for "go."

2. Future perfect tense: 

To express the future perfect tense, which indicates that an action will be completed before another action or time in the future, you can use the future tense prefix "zo-" (or "zou-") along with the auxiliary verb "be" and the main verb in the past participle form. Again, you need a subject concord to agree with the subject noun.
Example:

U-zo-ba-fikile (He/She will have arrived)

where "u-" is the subject concord for the third person singular, "zo-" is the future tense prefix, "ba" is the auxiliary verb "be," and "fikile" is the past participle form of the verb "arrive."
Note that Zulu is a highly contextual language, and the use of time markers, adverbs, or contextual clues may also help express the future tense or the time an action will occur.
