Central Khmer is the official language of Cambodia and is a fascinating language to learn. In this lesson, you will learn how to form and use the future tense in Central Khmer, including regular and irregular verbs, and proper pronunciation.
=== Introduction to the Future Tense ===

=== Formation of the Future Tense ===
== Forming the Future Tense ==


To form the future tense in Central Khmer, you need to use the auxiliary verb "នឹង" (nəng). This is similar to the English auxiliary verb "will".  
Understanding how to form the future tense is the first step in mastering it. Central Khmer utilizes specific markers and structures to indicate future actions.


The basic sentence structure for the future tense in Central Khmer is:
==== Regular Verbs ====


[Subject] + [នឹង + Verb]
Regular verbs in Central Khmer form the future tense by adding the prefix '''"នឹង" (nɨng)''' before the verb. Let's look at some examples.


Let's take a look at some examples:
{| class="wikitable"


{| class="wikitable"
! Central Khmer !! Pronunciation !! English
! Central Khmer !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| ខ្ញុំនឹងត្រឡប់មកវិញ || knhŭm nəng trâlăp mɔ̆k vìə
 
|| I will come back
| ខ្ញុំនឹងបើក !! kɨnhu:nɨng bɨək !! I will open
 
|-
 
| លោកនឹងមក !! lɔ:k nɨng mɔ:k !! You will come
 
|-
|-
| អ្នកនឹងទប់ទល់ខ្ញុំ || nɛək nəng tôp tăl knhŭm
 
|| You will call me
| ពួកគេនឹងរាំ !! puok kɛ:nɨng ra:m !! They will dance
 
|-
|-
| គាត់នឹងចាំបាច់់ || kɑt nəng jâm pác
 
|| She will wait
| នាងនឹងសរសេរ !! ni:ng nɨng sɑ:sɛ: !! She will write
 
|-
|-
| យើងនឹងមកវិញមិនដែលបាននៅទីនេះទេ || yəəng nəng mɔ̆k vìə min dâl baaŋ ti nəh
 
|| We will come here not for a long time
| យើងនឹងស្តាប់ !! jəəng nɨng sda:p !! We will listen
 
|}
|}


== Using Irregular Verbs in the Future Tense ==
As you can see, the structure is quite simple. Just remember to add "នឹង" before the verb!
 
==== Irregular Verbs ====


Like in many languages, there are some verbs in Central Khmer which are irregular in the future tense. They do not follow the basic sentence structure [Subject] + [នឹង + Verb]. Here are some examples:
Irregular verbs can sometimes follow different rules, but many still use "នឹង" to form the future tense. Here are some examples:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Central Khmer !! Pronunciation !! English
! Central Khmer !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| ខ្ញុំនឹងឆ្លាត || knhŭm nəng chlaat
 
|| I will eat
| ខ្ញុំនឹងទៅ !! kɨnhu:nɨng təv !! I will go
 
|-
|-
| បាទនឹងធ្វើ || baaŏt nəng tvəəh
 
|| You will do
| គាត់នឹងសូម្បី !! kʊat nɨng soʊmbay !! He will even
 
|-
 
| អ្នកនឹងស្វែងរក !! nɛ:ŋ nɨng sʋɛ:ŋ rɔ:k !! You will search
 
|-
 
| គាត់នឹងនិយាយ !! kʊat nɨng ni:jɛ:j !! He will speak
 
|-
|-
| គាត់នឹងមិនឃើញ || kɑt nəng min kəəy
 
|| She will not see
| ពួកគេនឹងចេះ !! puok kɛ:nɨng ca:h !! They will know
 
|}
|}


== Using Time Markers ==
The key is to practice these verbs, as they may not always behave as expected.


In Central Khmer, you can use time markers to indicate when a future action will take place. Here are some common time markers:
=== Pronunciation Tips ===


*ថ្ងៃសប្តាហ៍នេះ (tngai saɓdaah neəh) - today
Pronunciation can often be the trickiest part of learning a new language. Central Khmer has its nuances, and getting the sounds right is crucial for being understood. Here are some tips when pronouncing future tense verbs:
*ថ្ងៃស្អែក (tngai saeək) - tomorrow
*ម្សិលមិញ (msil mɔ̆k) - tonight
*សប្តាហ៍ក្រោយ (saɓdaah krɔy) - in a few days
*ខែនេះ (khsae neəh) - this month
*ខែក្រោយ (kh sah krɔy) - next month


Here are some examples of using time markers in the future tense:
* '''"នឹង" (nɨng)''' should be pronounced with a nasal tone. Focus on making the "n" sound resonate through your nose.


*ខ្ញុំនឹងទៅជួបក្បាលថ្ងៃសប្តាហ៍នេះ (knhŭm nəng twa juəb kbaal tngai saɓdaah neəh) - I will go shopping today
* For the verbs, pay attention to the vowel sounds; they can change the meaning. For example, "ទៅ" (təv) versus "ទេ" ().
*ខ្ញុំនឹងទៅរកលុយពេលប្រកួតដ៏មានអ្វីដែលអាចសន្តិសុខបាន (knhŭm nəng twa ruk luy pĕəl prakaut daə mɨən avey dɑl sɑntohkbɑn) - I will find money when I need something important
*យើងនឹងមកបានត្រលែកកន្សែងក្នុងរាជធានីហ្វេលមិញ (yəəng nəng mɔ̆k baaŋ tra laek knsaeng knŭŏng rieəh trɑəni hael mɨən) - We will travel to Vietnam next year


== Negating the Future Tense ==
* Practice saying the full sentence rather than just the verb. This will help you get used to the flow of the language.


To create a negative sentence in the future tense, you simply add the negative marker "មិន" (min) before the auxiliary verb "នឹង" (nəng).
=== Examples of Future Tense in Use ===


Here are some examples:
Now, let's look at more comprehensive examples that illustrate the future tense in various contexts.

Introduction to the Future Tense[edit | edit source]

The future tense in Central Khmer is used to describe actions that will take place after the present moment. It is essential for making plans, offering promises, and expressing intentions. Mastering this tense will allow you to engage in conversations about the future, making your speaking skills more versatile and functional.

Formation of the Future Tense[edit | edit source]

Understanding how to form the future tense is the first step in mastering it. Central Khmer utilizes specific markers and structures to indicate future actions.

Regular Verbs[edit | edit source]

Regular verbs in Central Khmer form the future tense by adding the prefix "នឹង" (nɨng) before the verb. Let's look at some examples.

Central Khmer Pronunciation English
ខ្ញុំនឹងបើក !! kɨnhu:nɨng bɨək !! I will open
លោកនឹងមក !! lɔ:k nɨng mɔ:k !! You will come
ពួកគេនឹងរាំ !! puok kɛ:nɨng ra:m !! They will dance
នាងនឹងសរសេរ !! ni:ng nɨng sɑ:sɛ: !! She will write
យើងនឹងស្តាប់ !! jəəng nɨng sda:p !! We will listen

As you can see, the structure is quite simple. Just remember to add "នឹង" before the verb!

Irregular Verbs[edit | edit source]

Irregular verbs can sometimes follow different rules, but many still use "នឹង" to form the future tense. Here are some examples:

Central Khmer Pronunciation English
ខ្ញុំនឹងទៅ !! kɨnhu:nɨng təv !! I will go
គាត់នឹងសូម្បី !! kʊat nɨng soʊmbay !! He will even
អ្នកនឹងស្វែងរក !! nɛ:ŋ nɨng sʋɛ:ŋ rɔ:k !! You will search
គាត់នឹងនិយាយ !! kʊat nɨng ni:jɛ:j !! He will speak
ពួកគេនឹងចេះ !! puok kɛ:nɨng ca:h !! They will know

The key is to practice these verbs, as they may not always behave as expected.

Pronunciation Tips[edit | edit source]

Pronunciation can often be the trickiest part of learning a new language. Central Khmer has its nuances, and getting the sounds right is crucial for being understood. Here are some tips when pronouncing future tense verbs:

  • "នឹង" (nɨng) should be pronounced with a nasal tone. Focus on making the "n" sound resonate through your nose.
  • For the verbs, pay attention to the vowel sounds; they can change the meaning. For example, "ទៅ" (təv) versus "ទេ" (tɛ).
  • Practice saying the full sentence rather than just the verb. This will help you get used to the flow of the language.

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

Now, let's look at more comprehensive examples that illustrate the future tense in various contexts.
