Forming the Future Tense

To form the future tense, we use the auxiliary verb "हुने" (hune) which means "to happen". We add this verb after the root verb. Here's the formula: "Root verb + हुने"

Let's take some examples to understand it better:

खाना हुने	khana hune	will eat
देख्ने हुने	dekhne hune	will see
पढ्ने हुने	padhne hune	will read

Using the Future Tense

Now that we know how to form the future tense, let's see how we can use it. We use the future tense in Nepali (individual language) grammar to talk about events that will happen in the future. Here are some examples:

• तिमीलाई के खाना छ? (timilai ke khana cha?) - What will you eat?
• म के गर्ने? (ma ke garne?) - What will I do?
• सबैलाई घर फर्केर बाटोमा धेरै चढाई लाग्ने छ (sabailai ghar farkera bato ma dherai chadhai lagnai cha) - Everybody will have to climb a lot after returning home.

Exceptions

There are some exceptional cases where we use the future tense differently in Nepali (individual language) grammar. For instance, in the case of "will not", we use "हुँदैन" (hudain) instead of "हुने" (hune) and add it after the root verb. Here's an example:

• म कुनै छान किन्दैन (ma kunai chaa kinain) - I will not buy anything good.
