=== Importance of the Future Tense === | |||
The future tense plays a crucial role in everyday conversations. It allows you to express intentions, predictions, and plans. Knowing how to use the future tense will empower you to share your aspirations and talk about events that haven't happened yet. This skill is vital for effective communication, especially in a culture where hospitality and planning are highly valued. | |||
=== Structure of the Future Tense === | |||
In Georgian, the future tense is formed differently than in English. The structure involves using the verb stem with specific suffixes based on the subject's person and number. We'll break down this formation step by step, so you can grasp it easily. | |||
== Future Tense Formation == | |||
=== Verb Stems === | |||
First, let’s look at the verb stems. The verb stem is the base form of the verb without any endings. Here's how it works with some common verbs: | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
! Verb (Infinitive) !! Verb Stem !! English Translation | |||
|- | |||
| წერა (ts'era) || წერ- (ts'er-) || to write | |||
|- | |||
| ლაპარაკი (laparak'i) || ლაპარაკ- (laparak-) || to speak | |||
|- | |||
| წასვლა (ts'asvla) || წასვლ- (ts'asvl-) || to go | |||
|- | |||
| | | ჭამა (ch'ama) || ჭამ- (ch'am-) || to eat | ||
|} | |||
== | === Future Tense Suffixes === | ||
The future tense suffixes are added to the verb stem. The basic future tense endings in Georgian are as follows: | |||
* For '''First Person Singular''' (I): -ი (-i) | |||
* For '''Second Person Singular''' (you): -ებ (eb) | |||
* For '''Third Person Singular''' (he/she/it): -ებს (ebs) | |||
* For '''First Person Plural''' (we): -ებთ (ebt) | |||
* For '''Second Person Plural''' (you all): -ებთ (ebt) | |||
* For '''Third Person Plural''' (they): -ებენ (eben) | |||
=== Example Conjugation === | |||
Let’s take the verb "წერა" (to write) and conjugate it into the future tense. | |||
{| class="wikitable" | {| class="wikitable" | ||
! | |||
! Subject !! Verb Form (Future Tense) !! Pronunciation !! English Translation | |||
|- | |||
| I || ვწერ (vts'er) || [vts'ɛr] || I will write | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| You (singular) || წერ (ts'er) || [ts'ɛr] || You will write | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| He/She/It || წერს (ts'ers) || [ts'ɛrs] || He/She/It will write | |||
|- | |||
| We || ვწერთ (vts'ert) || [vts'ɛrt] || We will write | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| You (plural) || დაწერთ (dats'ert) || [dats'ɛrt] || You (plural) will write | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| They || წერენ (ts'eren) || [ts'ɛrɛn] || They will write | |||

* '''They will visit us next week.''' | |||
* Georgian: ისინი გვეწვევიან მომდევნო კვირას. (isini gvevriani momdevno qviras.) | |||
