Understanding Future Tense[edit | edit source]

The future tense in Nepali indicates actions that will happen in the future. It is essential for making predictions, plans, and intentions. Just like in English, we use specific verbs and endings to express this tense.

In Nepali, the future tense is typically formed using the verb root followed by specific suffixes. The choice of suffix may vary based on the subject pronoun (I, you, he, she, we, they).

Forming Future Tense[edit | edit source]

To form the future tense in Nepali, we generally follow this structure:

Verb Root + Future Tense Suffix

Here’s a breakdown of common subject pronouns and their corresponding future tense suffixes:

| Subject Pronoun | Future Tense Suffix |

|------------------|---------------------|

| म (ma - I) | -छु (-chu) |

| तिमी (timī - you) | -छौ (-chau) |

| ऊ (ū - he) / उनी (unī - she) | -छ (chha) |

| हामी (hāmī - we) | -छौं (-chāu) |

| तिनीहरू (tinīharū - they) | -छन् (-chhan) |

For example, the verb "to eat" in Nepali is "खानु (khānu)." To use it in the future tense:

म खानेछु (ma khānechu) - I will eat.

तिमी खानेछौ (timī khānechau) - You will eat.

ऊ खानेछ (ū khānechha) - He will eat.

हामी खानेछौं (hāmī khānechāu) - We will eat.

तिनीहरूले खानेछन् (tinīharū khānechhan) - They will eat.

Examples of Future Tense in Sentences[edit | edit source]

Let’s look at some practical examples to understand how the future tense works in different contexts.

-As a Nepali language teacher with 20 years of experience, I am thrilled to teach you the future tense in Nepali. This is an essential aspect of Nepali grammar, and mastering it will allow you to communicate effectively with Nepali speakers. In this lesson, you will learn how to conjugate verbs in the future tense and how to use them in different types of sentences.
+=== Understanding Future Tense ===
+The future tense in Nepali indicates actions that will happen in the future. It is essential for making predictions, plans, and intentions. Just like in English, we use specific verbs and endings to express this tense.
+In Nepali, the future tense is typically formed using the verb root followed by specific suffixes. The choice of suffix may vary based on the subject pronoun (I, you, he, she, we, they).
+=== Forming Future Tense ===
+To form the future tense in Nepali, we generally follow this structure:
+'''Verb Root + Future Tense Suffix'''
+Here’s a breakdown of common subject pronouns and their corresponding future tense suffixes:
+| Subject Pronoun | Future Tense Suffix |
+|------------------|---------------------|
+| म (ma - I)      | -छु (-chu)         |

+For example, the verb "to eat" in Nepali is "खानु (khānu)." To use it in the future tense:
-== Understanding the Future Tense in Nepali ==
-In Nepali, the future tense is used to describe actions that will take place at a specific time in the future. Like in English, it is formed by using the auxiliary verb “will” or “shall” before the base form of the verb. However, in Nepali, there is no distinction between “will” and “shall.”
+* म खानेछु (ma khānechu) - I will eat.
-Here is an example of a sentence in the future tense:
+* तिमी खानेछौ (timī khānechau) - You will eat.
-* I will write a letter tomorrow. - मैले भोलि एक पत्र लेख्नेछु। (maile bholi ek patra lekhnechu)
+* ऊ खानेछ (ū khānechha) - He will eat.
-“मैले” (maile) is the subject, “भोलि” (bholi) indicates the time in the future when the action will occur, and “लेख्नेछु” (lekhnechu) is the future tense conjugation of the verb “लेख्नु” (lekhnu), which means “to write.”
+* हामी खानेछौं (hāmī khānechāu) - We will eat.
-== Conjugating Verbs in Future Tense ==
+* तिनीहरूले खानेछन् (tinīharū khānechhan) - They will eat.
-The future tense is formed by adding “-ने” (-ne) at the end of the verb stem in the first and the second person singular and plural. In the third person singular and plural, the future tense is formed by adding “-े” (-e) at the end of the verb stem.
+=== Examples of Future Tense in Sentences ===
-Here is the future tense conjugation of the verb “जानु” (janu), which means “to go”:
