Welcome to our lesson on the Future Tense in Dari! Understanding the future tense is essential for expressing actions that will happen, allowing you to plan, predict, or simply share your thoughts about what is yet to come. Mastering this aspect of the language will significantly enhance your ability to communicate effectively in Dari, especially as you transition from a complete beginner to an A1 level speaker.

In this lesson, we will cover the following topics:

What is the Future Tense?[edit | edit source]

The future tense is used to describe actions that will occur after the present moment. In Dari, forming the future tense involves a particular structure that differs from English.

Forming the Future Tense[edit | edit source]

In Dari, the future tense is formed by using the present stem of the verb combined with specific suffixes. The structure is as follows:

For regular verbs, the future tense suffix is typically -م (for I), -ی (for you singular), -د (for he/she/it), -یم (for we), -ید (for you plural), -ند (for they).

Here's how it looks in practice:

Dari	Pronunciation	English
می‌روم	mīrawam	I will go
می‌روی	mīrawī	You will go (singular)
می‌رود	mīrawad	He/She/It will go
می‌رویم	mīrawīm	We will go
می‌روید	mīrawīd	You will go (plural)
می‌روند	mīrawand	They will go

Usage in Sentences[edit | edit source]

The future tense can be used in various types of sentences. Here are some examples demonstrating its usage:

Dari	Pronunciation	English
فردا به بازار می‌روم.	fardā ba bāzār mīrawam.	Tomorrow, I will go to the market.
او به مدرسه می‌رود.	ū ba madrase mīrawad.	He/She will go to school.
ما امروز غذا می‌خوریم.	mā emrūz ghazā mīkhurīm.	We will eat food today.
شما فردا می‌آید.	shumā fardā mīāyad.	You will come tomorrow.
آنها به سینما می‌روند.	ānhā ba sīnemā mīrawand.	They will go to the cinema.

Simple Future vs. Continuous Future[edit | edit source]

In Dari, there are two forms of future tense: the simple future and the continuous future.

1. Simple Future: This is used to express a general action that will take place.

Example: می‌خورم (I will eat).

2. Continuous Future: This describes an action that will be ongoing in the future.

This is formed by using the future tense of the verb بودن (to be) plus the present participle of the main verb.

Example: خواهم خورد (I will be eating).

To illustrate the differences between the two, let’s look at some examples:

Dari	Pronunciation	English
فردا می‌خوابم.	fardā mīkhwābam.	I will sleep tomorrow. (Simple Future)
فردا در حال خوابیدن خواهم بود.	fardā dar hāl-e khwābīdan khwāham bud.	I will be sleeping tomorrow. (Continuous Future)
او می‌خواند.	ū mīkhānad.	He/She will read. (Simple Future)
او در حال خواندن خواهد بود.	ū dar hāl-e khwāndan khāhad bud.	He/She will be reading. (Continuous Future)

+The future tense can be used in various types of sentences. Here are some examples demonstrating its usage:

+In Dari, there are two forms of future tense: the '''simple future''' and the '''continuous future'''.
+. '''Simple Future''': This is used to express a general action that will take place.
+* Example: می‌خورم (I will eat).
+. '''Continuous Future''': This describes an action that will be ongoing in the future.
+* This is formed by using the future tense of the verb '''بودن''' (to be) plus the present participle of the main verb.
+* Example: خواهم خورد (I will be eating).
+To illustrate the differences between the two, let’s look at some examples:
+{| class="wikitable"
