Hi Slovenian learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn about the future tense in Slovenian. We will look at how to form the future tense, when to use it and some examples of how it is used in everyday conversations.
The future tense in Slovenian is formed by adding the appropriate ending to the verb stem. The endings are as follows:
| Slovenian | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| bom | bohm | I will |
| boš | bohsh | You will (singular) |
| bo | boh | He/she/it will |
| bomo | boh-moh | We will |
| boste | boh-steh | You will (plural) |
| bodo | boh-doh | They will |
The future tense is used to talk about actions that will take place in the future. It can also be used to express probability or likelihood. For example:
| Slovenian | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| Will you eat? | | ||
| Will you come? | | ||
| Will they come? | | ||
| Will you win? | | ||
| Will they win? | |
The future tense can also be used to express a wish or hope for something to happen in the future. For example:
| Slovenian | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| Will you be happy? | | ||
| Will they be happy? | | ||
| Will you be successful? | | ||
| Will they be successful? | |
It is important to note that the future tense is not used to talk about habits or routines. For example, if you want to say "I usually go to the gym on Saturdays", you would not use the future tense. Instead, you would use the present tense.
The future tense can also be used to make predictions about the future. For example:
| Slovenian | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| Will you leave? | | ||
| Will they leave? | | ||
| Will you win? | | ||
| Will they win? | |
Finally, the future tense can also be used to express a desire or intention to do something in the future. For example:
| Slovenian | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| I will eat. | | ||
| You will come. | | ||
| They will come. | | ||
| I will win. | | ||
| They will win. | |
In conclusion, the future tense is used to talk about actions that will take place in the future, to express probability or likelihood, to express a wish or hope for something to happen in the future, to make predictions about the future, and to express a desire or intention to do something in the future.
