Welcome to our lesson on the Future Tense in Halh Mongolian! Understanding how to express future actions is crucial for effective communication and for expanding your conversational skills. Future tense allows you to talk about what will happen, plan events, and make predictions. In this lesson, we will explore the structure of the future tense, how it's formed, and provide plenty of examples to help you grasp the concept fully.

We'll also engage in some exercises to practice what you've learned, ensuring a hands-on approach to this vital aspect of the Halh Mongolian language.

Importance of Future Tense[edit | edit source]

The future tense in Halh Mongolian is essential for expressing intentions, making plans, and discussing upcoming events. It allows speakers to communicate about what they will do in a straightforward way. Mastering the future tense is a stepping stone toward fluency, as it opens up conversations about your aspirations, future activities, and even hypothetical scenarios.

Structure of the Future Tense[edit | edit source]

The future tense in Halh Mongolian is typically formed by adding specific suffixes to the verb stem. Let’s break it down:

1. Basic Verb Form: Start with the verb in its base or stem form.

2. Adding the Future Tense Suffix: Generally, the suffix -на (na) or -нэ (ne) is added to the verb stem, depending on vowel harmony.

3. Subject Pronouns: Subject pronouns can be included to clarify who is performing the action.

Here's how it works in practice:

Examples of Future Tense Formation[edit | edit source]

Let's look at some examples where we form the future tense with various verbs.

Halh Mongolian	Pronunciation	English
1. Би уншина.	Bi unshina.	I will read.
2. Чи бичнэ.	Chi bichne.	You will write.
3. Тэр ирнэ.	Ter irne.	He/She will come.
4. Бид явна.	Bid yavna.	We will go.
5. Та хүлээнэ.	Ta khuleene.	You (formal) will wait.
6. Тэд хийж байна.	Ted khiij baina.	They will do.
7. Би зооглоно.	Bi zooglono.	I will feast.
8. Чи ганцхан удаа очно.	Chi gantskhan udhaa ochno.	You will go only once.
9. Тэр сонсно.	Ter sonsno.	He/She will listen.
10. Бид хичээллэнэ.	Bid khicheelleene.	We will study.

Vowel Harmony in Future Tense[edit | edit source]

Vowel harmony plays a significant role in the Halh Mongolian language, influencing which suffix you will use. When forming the future tense, consider the last vowel in the verb stem:

If the last vowel is front (e.g., "и", "э"), use -нэ.

If the last vowel is back (e.g., "а", "о", "у"), use -на.

Examples with Vowel Harmony[edit | edit source]

Let's explore how vowel harmony affects future tense formation.

Halh Mongolian	Pronunciation	English
1. Сурна.	Sur-na.	I will learn.
2. Гарах.	Gar-akh.	I will exit.
3. Тоглох.	Tog-lokh.	I will play.
4. Бичих.	Bichikh.	I will write.

Би (Bi) - I

Чи (Chi) - You (informal)

Тэр (Ter) - He/She

Бид (Bid) - We

When using these pronouns, simply place them before the verb in future tense:

-It's that simple! The future tense has the same suffix for all verbs.
+=== Vowel Harmony in Future Tense ===
-== Examples in Context==
+Vowel harmony plays a significant role in the Halh Mongolian language, influencing which suffix you will use. When forming the future tense, consider the last vowel in the verb stem:
-Let's now take a look at some examples so you can see how the future tense is actually used in context.
-* Person 1: Би амьдралын бүхнийгээ өөрийн гэртээ тушаах гэж бодож байгаа. (Bi am'dralyn bükhnii'gee ööriin gerde tushaakh gej bodooj baigaa.)<br>
+* If the last vowel is front (e.g., "и", "э"), use '''-нэ'''.
-  (I am thinking of inviting everyone from work to my house.)
-* Person 2: Та хэдэн хүнийг уурхайлахаар байгаа вэ? (Ta hedeen hüniig uurkhailakhaar baigaa ve?)<br>
-  (How many people are you planning to invite?)
-* Person 1: Дөрвөн хүн маань хэдэн байдаг вэ гэдэгт мэдээрэй. (Dörvön hün maan' khedeen baidag ve gedegt medeeerei.)<br>
-  (I will let you know how many people will be there.)
-In this example, you can see how the future tense is used to express a plan that someone is thinking of doing. Person 1 is thinking of inviting everyone from work to their house and they express this plan in future tense, "өөрийн гэртээ тушаах гэж бодож байгаа" (ooirin gerdee tushaakh gej bodooj baigaa). Person 2 then asks how many people they are planning to invite, "хэдэн хүнийг уурхайлахаар байгаа вэ?" (hedeen hüniig uurkhailakhaar baigaa ve?). Finally, Person 1 responds, saying they will let Person 2 know how many people will be there, "маань хэдэн байдаг вэ гэдэгт мэдээрэй" (maan' khedeen baidag ve gedegt medeeerei).
+* If the last vowel is back (e.g., "а", "о", "у"), use '''-на'''.
-== Negative and Interrogative Forms ==
+==== Examples with Vowel Harmony ====
-To form the negative and interrogative forms of the future tense in Halh Mongolian, you just need to add the negative particle "биш" (bish) to the verb for negative and add the question particle "уу" (uu) at the end of the sentence for interrogative.
-Let's take the verb "орох" (orokh), meaning "to go". The future tense would be "орох аар" (orokh aar), meaning "will go". To make it negative, you just need to add "биш" (bish) after the verb: "орох биш аар" (orokh bish aar), meaning "will not go". To make it interrogative, you just need to add "уу" (uu) at the end of the sentence: "орох аар уу?" (orokh aar uu?), meaning "will you go?".
+Let's explore how vowel harmony affects future tense formation.
