Future1 (with negation)[edit | edit source]
Carrier of future tense is "damaged" verb (ΠΊΡΡΠΈ Π³Π»Π°Π³ΠΎΠ») Ρ ΡΠ΅ΡΠΈ (will or want, depends of context), and in damaged shape have forms ΡΡ, ΡΠ΅Ρ, ΡΠ΅...
Serbian language have up to three forms to express future tense:
- ΡΡ + infinitive (ΠΠ° ΡΡ ΠΈΠΌΠ°ΡΠΈ)
- ΡΡ + Π΄Π° + present tense (ΠΠ° ΡΡ Π΄Π° ΠΈΠΌΠ°ΠΌ)
- damaged infinitive + ΡΡ (ΠΈΠΌΠ°
ΡΠΈΡΡ β ΠΈΠΌΠ°ΡΡ), this forms is used without words: I, you, he, she...
In 2nd form, both verbs Ρ ΡΠ΅ΡΠΈ and ΠΈΠΌΠ°ΡΠΈ changes forms. In others forms only verb Ρ ΡΠ΅ΡΠΈ changes form.
| 1st form | 2nd form | 3rd form | English |
|---|---|---|---|
| ΠΠ° (Π½Π΅)ΡΡ ΠΈΠΌΠ°ΡΠΈ | ΠΠ° (Π½Π΅)ΡΡ Π΄Π° ΠΈΠΌΠ°ΠΌ | ΠΠΌΠ°ΡΡ | I will (not) have |
| Π’ΠΈ (Π½Π΅)ΡΠ΅Ρ ΠΈΠΌΠ°ΡΠΈ | Π’ΠΈ (Π½Π΅)ΡΠ΅Ρ Π΄Π° ΠΈΠΌΠ°Ρ | ΠΠΌΠ°ΡΠ΅Ρ | You will (not) have |
| ΠΠ½/ΠΎΠ½Π°/ΠΎΠ½ΠΎ (Π½Π΅)ΡΠ΅ ΠΈΠΌΠ°ΡΠΈ | ΠΠ½/ΠΎΠ½Π°/ΠΎΠ½ΠΎ (Π½Π΅)ΡΠ΅ Π΄Π° ΠΈΠΌΠ° | ΠΠΌΠ°ΡΠ΅ | He/she/it will (not) have |
| ΠΠΈ (Π½Π΅)ΡΠ΅ΠΌΠΎ ΠΈΠΌΠ°ΡΠΈ | ΠΠΈ (Π½Π΅)ΡΠ΅ΠΌΠΎ Π΄Π° ΠΈΠΌΠ°ΠΌΠΎ | ΠΠΌΠ°ΡΠ΅ΠΌΠΎ | We will (not) have |
| ΠΠΈ (Π½Π΅)ΡΠ΅ΡΠ΅ ΠΈΠΌΠ°ΡΠΈ | ΠΠΈ (Π½Π΅)ΡΠ΅ΡΠ΅ Π΄Π° ΠΈΠΌΠ°ΡΠ΅ | ΠΠΌΠ°ΡΠ΅ΡΠ΅ | You will (not) have |
| ΠΠ½ΠΈ/ΠΎΠ½Π΅/ΠΎΠ½Π° (Π½Π΅)ΡΠ΅ ΠΈΠΌΠ°ΡΠΈ | ΠΠ½ΠΈ/ΠΎΠ½Π΅/ΠΎΠ½Π° (Π½Π΅)ΡΠ΅ Π΄Π° ΠΈΠΌΠ°ΡΡ | ΠΠΌΠ°ΡΠ΅ | They will (not) have |
**note: 3rd form can't express negative form (actually it can, but it's so unnatural to say Π½Π΅ΠΌΠ°ΡΡ, Π½Π΅ΠΌΠ°ΡΠ΅Ρ, Π½Π΅ΠΌΠ°ΡΠ΅), so for negation is always used 1st or 2nd form
Future2 (conditional future)[edit | edit source]
Future 2 is composed with special form of verb "be" (Π±ΠΈΡΠΈ β Π±ΡΠ΄Π΅ΠΌ) + past tense. It is used when someone wants to express some condition.
ex. ΠΠ°ΡΡ ΡΠΈ Π½ΠΎΠ²Π°Ρ ΠΊΠ°Π΄Π° Π³Π° Π±ΡΠ΄Π΅ΠΌ ΠΈΠΌΠ°ΠΎ. I will give you money when I have it.
