Introduction[edit | edit source]
The future tense in Avaric is used to indicate that something will happen in the future. It is important to note that Avaric has two future tenses: the near future, and the distant future. In this lesson, we will focus on the near future.
To form the near future tense in Avaric, we use the auxiliary verb "хьо" (kh'o) which means "will". We then add the main verb in the infinitive form. For example:
| Avaric | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| Ма ий гӏай да хьо деха. | Ma ij ghaj da kh'o dexa. | I will eat an apple. |
As you can see, the auxiliary verb "хьо" (kh'o) comes before the main verb "да деха" (da dexa).
Cultural Insight[edit | edit source]
In Avaric culture, it is common to express future events using proverbs. One such proverb is "На магӏа да хӏа ярӏагӏала" which translates to "Tomorrow will bring its own worries". This proverb emphasizes the idea of living in the present and not worrying too much about the future.
