Hi Yue Chinese learners! π
In this lesson, we will learn how to use the future tense in Yue Chinese. We will look at the different ways to express the future in Yue Chinese and how to use them correctly.
The future tense in Yue Chinese is used to talk about events that will happen in the future. It can be used to talk about plans, predictions, and intentions. There are several ways to express the future in Yue Chinese.
Expressing the Future with "Hou"
The most common way to express the future in Yue Chinese is with the particle "hou". This particle is placed after the verb to indicate that the action will take place in the future. For example:
| Yue Chinese | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| ζζε» | wo5 wui2 heoi3 | I will go |
| δ½ ζεζε» | nei5 wui2 m4 wui2 heoi3 | Will you go? |
| δ½’ζε» | keoi5 wui2 heoi3 | He/She will go |
It is important to note that the particle "hou" cannot be used with verbs that already have a future meaning. For example, the verb "ζ" (wui2) means "will" and cannot be used with the particle "hou".
Expressing the Future with "Ji"
Another way to express the future in Yue Chinese is with the particle "ji". This particle is placed after the verb to indicate that the action will take place in the near future. For example:
| Yue Chinese | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| ζζε» | wo5 wui2 heoi3 | I will go |
| δ½ ζεζε» | nei5 wui2 m4 wui2 heoi3 | Will you go? |
| δ½’ζε» | keoi5 wui2 heoi3 | He/She will go |
It is important to note that the particle "ji" cannot be used with verbs that already have a future meaning. For example, the verb "ζ" (wui2) means "will" and cannot be used with the particle "ji".
Expressing the Future with "Yau"
The last way to express the future in Yue Chinese is with the particle "yau". This particle is placed after the verb to indicate that the action will take place in the distant future. For example:
| Yue Chinese | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| ζζε» | wo5 wui2 heoi3 | I will go |
| δ½ ζεζε» | nei5 wui2 m4 wui2 heoi3 | Will you go? |
| δ½’ζε» | keoi5 wui2 heoi3 | He/She will go |
It is important to note that the particle "yau" cannot be used with verbs that already have a future meaning. For example, the verb "ζ" (wui2) means "will" and cannot be used with the particle "yau".
