<h2>Introduction</h2>
=== Importance of the Future Tense ===
 
The future tense allows speakers to communicate intentions, plans, and predictions. In Rundi, expressing future actions can help you share your aspirations or make arrangements with friends and family. Understanding how to use the future tense will enhance your conversational skills and deepen your connection to the language and culture.
 
=== Structure of the Lesson ===


As we continue learning Rundi, it's essential to understand how to talk about future events. In this lesson, you'll learn about the future tense and how to use it in sentences to describe actions that will happen in the future.
This lesson is structured as follows:


<h2>Future Tense</h2>
* '''Understanding Future Tense Formation'''


The future tense in Rundi indicates that an action will happen in the future. In Rundi, the future tense is formed by adding a prefix to the verb.
* '''Examples of Future Tense in Rundi'''


<h3>Forming the Future Tense</h3>
* '''Practice Exercises'''


To form the future tense, you need to add the appropriate prefix to the verb stem, depending on the noun class of the subject. Here are the different prefixes you need to use, depending on the noun class:
* '''Detailed Solutions and Explanations'''


<table class="wikitable">
== Understanding Future Tense Formation ==
  <tr>
    <th>Rundi</th>
    <th>Pronunciation</th>
    <th>English</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>n-</td>
    <td>[n-]</td>
    <td>1/2 class singular</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>ta-</td>
    <td>[ta-]</td>
    <td>1/2 class plural</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>shi-</td>
    <td>[ʃi-]</td>
    <td>3/4 class singular</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>ti-</td>
    <td>[ti-]</td>
    <td>3/4 class plural</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>a-</td>
    <td>[a-]</td>
    <td>5/6 class singular</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>ta-</td>
    <td>[ta-]</td>
    <td>5/6 class plural</td>
  </tr>
</table>


Here's an example using the verb -gucika (to write) in the future tense with the 1/2 class singular prefix:
In Rundi, the future tense is formed using a specific prefix for the verbs, which signals that the action will take place later. This prefix is usually "ku-" for most verbs.


<blockquote>
'''Conjugation Pattern:'''
  Ndagucika - I will write
</blockquote>


Here's another example using the verb -gucika in the future tense with the 3/4 class singular prefix:
* The verb root is combined with the prefix "ku-" and is followed by the appropriate subject pronoun.


<blockquote>
* Subject pronouns in Rundi are as follows:
  Ishigucika - She will write
</blockquote>


<h3>Using the Future Tense in Sentences</h3>
* I = Nka


Now that you know how to form the future tense in Rundi, let's practice using it in sentences. Here's an example sentence using the verb -kwandika (to read) in the future tense:
* You (singular) = Ura


<blockquote>
* He/She = A
  Ntakwandika umwanya wa muka - I will read my son's book
</blockquote>


Here's another example sentence using the verb -gusoma (to study) in the future tense:
* We = Turi


<blockquote>
* You (plural) = Mwe
  Tuzogusoma ibigarasha vy'Uburundi - We will study Burundi's history
</blockquote>


Remember to use the appropriate prefix for the noun class of the subject when forming the future tense.
* They = Ba


<h3>Negative Future</h3>
'''Example Structure:'''


To form the negative future, add the negative prefix 'n-' before the appropriate prefix. Here are the different prefixes you need to use for the negative future tense, depending on the noun class:
* "ku-" + verb root + subject pronoun


<table class="wikitable">
For instance, using the verb "gura" (to buy):
  <tr>
    <th>Rundi</th>
    <th>Pronunciation</th>
    <th>English</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>n'ta-</td>
    <td>[n'ta-]</td>
    <td>1/2 class plural</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>n'shi-</td>
    <td>[n'ʃi-]</td>
    <td>3/4 class singular</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>n'ti-</td>
    <td>[n'ti-]</td>
    <td>3/4 class plural</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>n'a-</td>
    <td>[n'a-]</td>
    <td>5/6 class singular</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>n'ta-</td>
    <td>[n'ta-]</td>
    <td>5/6 class plural</td>
  </tr>
</table>


Here's an example sentence using the verb -kwandika in the negative future tense with the 1/2 class plural prefix:
* Nka ndagura (I will buy)


<blockquote>
* Ura uragura (You will buy)
  Ntakwanka - I will not write
</blockquote>


Here's another example using the verb -gusoma in the negative future tense with the 3/4 class singular prefix:
* A azagura (He/She will buy)


<blockquote>
=== Examples of Future Tense in Rundi ===
  Ntashigusoma - She will not study
</blockquote>


Remember to add the negative prefix 'n-' before the appropriate prefix when forming the negative future tense.
Let’s look at 20 examples of verbs in the future tense to illustrate how this works.

Importance of the Future Tense[edit | edit source]

The future tense allows speakers to communicate intentions, plans, and predictions. In Rundi, expressing future actions can help you share your aspirations or make arrangements with friends and family. Understanding how to use the future tense will enhance your conversational skills and deepen your connection to the language and culture.

This lesson is structured as follows:

  • Understanding Future Tense Formation
  • Examples of Future Tense in Rundi
  • Practice Exercises
  • Detailed Solutions and Explanations

Understanding Future Tense Formation[edit | edit source]

In Rundi, the future tense is formed using a specific prefix for the verbs, which signals that the action will take place later. This prefix is usually "ku-" for most verbs.

Conjugation Pattern:

  • The verb root is combined with the prefix "ku-" and is followed by the appropriate subject pronoun.
  • Subject pronouns in Rundi are as follows:
  • I = Nka
  • You (singular) = Ura
  • He/She = A
  • We = Turi
  • You (plural) = Mwe
  • They = Ba

Example Structure:

  • "ku-" + verb root + subject pronoun

For instance, using the verb "gura" (to buy):

  • Nka ndagura (I will buy)
  • Ura uragura (You will buy)
  • A azagura (He/She will buy)

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

Let’s look at 20 examples of verbs in the future tense to illustrate how this works.
