Now, let's jump right into the fascinating world of the Samoan future tense!
 
== Overview of Future Tense in Samoan ==
 
=== What is the Future Tense? ===
 
The future tense in Samoan is used to describe actions that will take place after the present moment. It is an essential grammatical element that allows speakers to plan ahead and communicate future intentions.
 
=== Regular vs. Irregular Verbs ===
 
Just like in English, Samoan verbs can be classified into regular and irregular. Regular verbs follow predictable patterns when conjugated into the future tense, while irregular verbs may vary and require specific memorization.
 
== Conjugation Rules ==
 
=== How to Conjugate Regular Verbs ===
 
To form the future tense in Samoan, you typically begin with the base form of the verb and add the appropriate future tense marker. The most common marker used for the future tense is "o le" for actions that will happen.
 
'''Example Conjugation for Regular Verbs:'''
 
* Base Verb: 'pili' (to choose)
 
* Future Tense: 'o le pili' (will choose)
 
Here’s a table that illustrates some common regular verbs and their future tense forms:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Samoan !! Pronunciation !! English
! Samoan !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| pili || ˈpili || to choose
|-
| o le pili || o le ˈpili || will choose
|-
|-
| e::fa'apefea || eh-fah-ah-peh-fah-eh || how will it be?
 
| fa'ata'ita'iga || faʔataˈitaʔiŋa || to try
 
|-
|-
| ia ::tofā || yah-toh-faah || will go
 
| o le fa'ata'ita'iga || o le faʔataˈitaʔiŋa || will try
 
|-
|-
| o ::lo'o || oh-loh-oh || will be
|}


These markers are used before the verb in a sentence to indicate that the action will take place in the future. For example,
| aʻoaʻo || aʊˈoaʊʊ || to learn


* Ou te ia ::tofā i le fale. (I will go to the house.)
|-
* O lo'o au ::fa'atūlōfale. (I will be building a house.)


It is important to note that in Samoan, there is no difference between "will" and "going to" as in English. Both concepts are conveyed by the future tense marker.
| o le aʻoaʻo || o le aʊˈoaʊʊ || will learn


== Simple Future Tense ==
|-
The simple future tense is used to talk about actions that will happen in the future. To form the simple future tense in Samoan, use the future tense marker followed by the verb.


Here are some examples:
| ta'a'iga || taːʔaiŋa || to play


{| class="wikitable"
! Samoan !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Ou te ::inu taeao. || oh-oo teh ee-noo tah-eh-ah-oh || I will drink tomorrow.
 
| o le ta'a'iga || o le taːʔaiŋa || will play
 
|-
|-
| Ee ::fa'atau lea i tala. || eh-fah-ah-toh leh-ah ee tah-lah || She will sell stories.
 
| fa'atau || faʔaˈtau || to buy
 
|-
|-
| O le lua ::mata'upu. || oh leh loo-ah mah-tah-oo-poo || They will have two topics.
 
| o le fa'atau || o le faʔaˈtau || will buy
 
|}
|}


In Samoan, the subject pronoun is usually optional, as the tense marker already indicates the tense and the subject is usually clear from context.
=== Examples of Irregular Verbs ===


== Future Continuous Tense ==
Some verbs in Samoan do not follow the regular conjugation pattern and need to be learned individually. Here are a few examples of irregular verbs in the future tense:
The future continuous tense is used to talk about ongoing actions or events that will happen in the future. To form the future continuous tense in Samoan, use the future tense marker followed by the verb with the suffix -na.


Here are some examples:
{| class="wikitable"


{| class="wikitable"
! Samoan !! Pronunciation !! English
! Samoan !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Ou te ::fai-na uma i le fale. || oh-oo teh fah-ee-nah oo-mah ee leh fah-leh || I will be doing everything in the house.
 
| 'ai || aɪ || to eat
 
|-
 
| o le 'ai || o le aɪ || will eat
 
|-
 
| 'alu || aˈlu || to go
 
|-
 
| o le 'alu || o le aˈlu || will go
 
|-
|-
| O lo'o ::fa'atupula'ia-na le fale. || oh loh-oh fah-ah-too-poo-lah-ee-ah-nah leh fah-leh || The house will be being painted.
|}


Note that the suffix -na is added to the verb regardless of whether the subject is singular or plural.
| 'ou || aʊ || to come


== Future Perfect Tense ==
|-
The future perfect tense is used to talk about completed actions or events in the future. To form the future perfect tense in Samoan, use the future tense marker followed by the verb with the suffix -mu.


Here are some examples:
| o le 'ou || o le aʊ || will come


{| class="wikitable"
! Samoan !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Ua taumafai lenei ::tusi, ia ou te ::tapu ::mu. || oo-ah tao-mah-fah-ee leh-neh-ee too-see yah oh-oo teh tah-poo moo || I will have finished this writing by then.
 
| 'i'a || iˈa || to swim
 
|-
|-
| O lo'o ::fa'atasi ::mu lea i le fale. || oh loh-oh fah-ah-tah-see moo leh-ah ee leh fah-leh || She will have painted the house.
 
| o le 'i'a || o le iˈa || will swim
 
|}
|}


The suffix -mu indicates that the action will be completed by a certain time in the future.
