==Forming the Future Tense==
The future tense in Abkhazian is formed by adding the suffix -ахъ to the verb stem. This suffix is added to the end of the verb stem, regardless of the person or number. For example, the verb ''сабыр'' (to go) has the future tense form ''сабырахъ'' (will go).


===Examples===

== Formation ==
 
To form the future tense in Abkhazian, you will need to add the following suffixes to the verb stem:
 
{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Person !! Suffix
|-
|-
! Abkhazian !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
| I || -ам
|-
|-
| сабырахъ || sa-by-ra-h || will go
| You (informal) || -ашы
|-
|-
| адамахъ || a-da-ma-h || will do
| You (formal) || -азы
|-
|-
| абарахъ || a-ba-ra-h || will say
| He/she/it || -аа
|-
|-
| ацәахъ || a-tsa-ah || will come
| We || -аан
|-
|-
| ахьахъ || a-h-ah || will take
| You all || -ааҕа
|-
| They || -аара
|}
|}


==Usage==
For example, let's take the verb "to eat" (аҟәаҧ) and form the future tense.
The future tense is used to express an action that will take place in the future. It can also be used to express a prediction or assumption about the future.  


===Examples===
{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Person !! Abkhazian !! Translation

| I || аҟәаҧам || I will eat

|-
|-
| Аман ацәахъ ахьахъ. || A-man a-tsa-ah a-h-ah. || Aman will come and take.

|-
|-
| Аман ацәахъ ахьахъ адамахъ абарахъ. || A-man a-tsa-ah a-h-ah a-da-ma-h a-ba-ra-h. || Aman will come, take, do and say.
| We || аҟәаҧаан || We will eat
|-
|-
| Аман ацәахъ ахьахъ адамахъ абарахъ сабырахъ. || A-man a-tsa-ah a-h-ah a-da-ma-h a-ba-ra-h sa-by-ra-h. || Aman will come, take, do, say and go.
| You all || аҟәаҧааҕа || You all will eat
|-
| They || аҟәаҧаара || They will eat
|}
|}


==Practice==
You may have noticed that the future tense suffixes are added to the verb stem without any changes. This is different from the present tense, where the suffixes change depending on the verb class.

Abkhazian Grammar - Future Tense

Hi Abkhazian learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will discuss the future tense, which is used to describe actions that will happen in the future.


Don't miss the chance to check out these pages as you wrap up this lesson: Adverbs of Time in Abkhazian & 0 to A1 Course.

Formation[edit | edit source]

To form the future tense in Abkhazian, you will need to add the following suffixes to the verb stem:

Person Suffix
I -ам
You (informal) -ашы
You (formal) -азы
He/she/it -аа
We -аан
You all -ааҕа
They -аара

For example, let's take the verb "to eat" (аҟәаҧ) and form the future tense.

Person Abkhazian Translation
I аҟәаҧам I will eat
You (informal) аҟәаҧашы You will eat
You (formal) аҟәаҧазы You will eat
He/she/it аҟәаҧаа He/she/it will eat
We аҟәаҧаан We will eat
You all аҟәаҧааҕа You all will eat
They аҟәаҧаара They will eat

You may have noticed that the future tense suffixes are added to the verb stem without any changes. This is different from the present tense, where the suffixes change depending on the verb class.

Usage[edit | edit source]

The future tense is used to describe actions that will happen in the future. Similar to English, it can also express intentions or predictions.

Айырма ламҩасса лхарҵәаҕара. They will visit the museum next week.
Леоны аҟәаҧаан шәӡырхәын. Leoni and I will dance tonight.

As you can see from the examples, the future tense is often used together with time expressions, such as tomorrow or next week.

Here are some dialogues that use the future tense:
