Tajik Grammar - Future Tense

Hi Tajik learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn about the future tense in Tajik. The future tense is used to talk about something that will happen in the future. We will also include some cultural information to make the lesson more interesting. Don't forget to ask native speakers any questions you may have over at Polyglot Club.

Basic Structure[edit | edit source]

To form the future tense in Tajik language, we use the auxiliary verb "хоҳад" (kho’had) which means "will", followed by the infinitive verb.

Let's take the infinitive verb "кӯдан" (ku'dan) which means "to eat" as an example.

Tajik Pronunciation English
кӯдан хоҳад ku'dan kho’had will eat

Example dialogue:

  • Person 1: Ман сабзи мерӯям. (Man sabzi meruyam.) - I am cooking vegetables.
  • Person 2: Ман суфра рӯшан харидам. Шумо бо ман метафаккӯрӣ менамоед? (Man sufra rūshan haridam. Shumo bo man matafakḵūrī menamoed?) - I bought a bright tablecloth. Do you want to dine with me?

Future Tense with Modal Verbs[edit | edit source]

Modal verbs are auxiliary verbs used to express possibility, ability, permission, or obligation. In the future tense, they work in the same way as the basic structure, with the modal verb followed by the infinitive verb.

Example with the modal verb "тавонед" (tavoned), which means "can":

Tajik Pronunciation English
мехояд тавонед кӯдан mexoyad tavoned ku'dan can/will eat

Example dialogue:

  • Person 1: Бештарин болоҳо барф мекунанд. (Beštarin balohō barf mekunand.) - Most mountains are snow-covered.
  • Person 2: Шумо барфзанӣ тавонед кунед? (Shumo barfzani tavoned kuned?) - Can you make a snowman?

Future Continuous Tense[edit | edit source]

The future continuous tense is used to describe an event that will continue over a period of time in the future. We form this tense by using the auxiliary verb "хоҳад" (kho’had) followed by the verb "даштан" (daštan), which means "to have", and then the present participle form of the main verb with the suffix "анда" (anda).

Example with the verb "grilling" - "печ кардан" (pech kardan):

Tajik Pronunciation English
печ кардан дорад мекунад pech kardan dorad mekunad will be grilling

Example dialogue:

  • Person 1: Печ як насаби хуб аст. (Pech yak nasabi ḵub ast.) - Grilling is a good way to cook.
  • Person 2: Ман осмонро назар медиҳам. Шумо чизе чиз кабоб мекунед? (Man osmonro nazar medihom. Shumo čize čiz kabob mekuned?) - I'm watching the sky. Are you grilling something?

Irregular Verbs[edit | edit source]

Some verbs have slight changes in their forms when forming the future tense.

Example with the verb "to see" - "дидан" (didan):

Tajik Pronunciation English
бинед хоҳад bined kho’had will see

Example dialogue:

  • Person 1: Тоҷикон дилхоҳашон чист? (Toğikon dilhoḫāšon čist?) - Tajiks have pure hearts?
  • Person 2: Ҳа, Тоҷикон синаканро ва сурудҳоро хунераи худро дар ангосхонии худ метавонанд намоед. Бинед хоҳад? (Ha, Toğikon sinakani va surudhoro ḵunera'i ḵudra dar angosxoni'i ḵud metavonand namoed. Bined kho’had?) - Yes, Tajiks can put their talents in their needlework and music in their own living areas. Will you see?

Cultural Information[edit | edit source]

Tajikistan has a rich cultural heritage. The country was part of the ancient Persian Empire and later a part of the Soviet Union. The country's history has resulted in a mix of Persian and Soviet traditions, which is reflected in the language and culture of the country. There are numerous festivals held throughout the year, with the biggest being the Persian New Year, known as Nowruz. Tajiks also celebrate the National Unity Day and Independence Day. Tajik cuisine is also influenced by its Persian roots and has a variety of dishes made from rice, meats, and spices.
