By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid understanding of how to form and use future tense verbs in North Azerbaijani, allowing you to express future actions and events with confidence. So let's dive in and start exploring this fascinating aspect of the North Azerbaijani language!

Forming Future Tense Verbs

To form the future tense in North Azerbaijani, we generally use the auxiliary verb "olacaq" (to be) followed by the main verb in its infinitive form. The auxiliary verb "olacaq" is conjugated based on the subject of the sentence, while the main verb remains in its base form.

For example:

• "Mən oxuyacağam." (I will study.)
• "Sən yazacaqsan." (You will write.)
• "O oxuyacaq." (He/she will read.)
• "Biz yazağıq." (We will write.)
• "Siz oxuyacaqsınız." (You all will read.)
• "Onlar yazacaq." (They will write.)

As you can see from the examples above, the auxiliary verb "olacaq" changes based on the subject of the sentence, while the main verb remains in its base form. This pattern is consistent across most verbs in North Azerbaijani.

However, it is important to note that there are some irregular verbs in North Azerbaijani that have different forms in the future tense. These irregular verbs have unique conjugations that need to be memorized. Here are a few examples:

• "etmək" (to do) becomes "edeceyəm" (I will do)
• "getmək" (to go) becomes "gedəcəyəm" (I will go)
• "gəlmək" (to come) becomes "gələcəyəm" (I will come)

It is essential to familiarize yourself with these irregular verbs and their future tense forms through practice and exposure to the language.
