The future tense in Romanian is formed by adding specific endings to the infinitive form of the verb.
To form the future tense, you should take the infinitive of the verb and add the following endings:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Person !! Infinitive + Suffix
|-
|-
! Person !! Ending
| Eu (I) || Voi cânta (I will sing)
|-
|-
| I || - voi
| Tu (You) || Vei cânta (You will sing)
|-
|-
| You (singular) || - vei
| El/ Ea (He/ She) || Va cânta (He/ She will sing)
|-
|-
| He/She/It || - va
| Noi (We) || Vom cânta (We will sing)
|-
|-
| We || - vom
| Voi (You all) || Veți cânta (You all will sing)
|-
|-
| You (plural) || - veţi

|-
| Veți cânta || "vet͡s kɨn'ta" || You all will sing
|-
| Vor cânta || "vor kɨn'ta" || They will sing
|}
|}


For example, the verb "a merge" (to go) has the following future forms:
=== Irregular Forms ===


There are some verbs with irregular forms in the future tense. For instance:
* A avea (to have):
{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Person !! Irregular form
|-
|-
! Person !! Form
| Eu (I) || Voi avea (I will have)
|-
|-
| I || voi merge
| Tu (You) || Veți avea (You will have)

|-
|-
| He/She/It || va merge
| Noi (We) || Vom avea (We will have)
|-
|-
| We || vom merge
| Voi (You all) || Veți avea (You all will have)
|-
|-
| You (plural) || veţi merge
| Ei/ Ele (They) || Vor avea (They will have)
|-
| They || vor merge
