== Overview of the Future Tense ==
|-


The future tense is used to talk about actions or events that will happen in the future. In Central Khmer, the future tense is formed by using specific markers or words that indicate future time. These markers are placed before the verb in the sentence to indicate that the action will take place at a later time. Understanding and using the future tense is essential for effective communication in Central Khmer.

== Forming the Future Tense ==
|}


In Central Khmer, the future tense is formed by using specific markers or words that indicate future time. These markers are placed before the verb in the sentence. Let's see some examples:
As you can see, the structure is quite simple. Just remember to add "នឹង" before the verb!


=== Regular Verbs ===
==== Irregular Verbs ====


To form the future tense with regular verbs, we add the marker "នឹង" (nɨəŋ) before the verb. Let's look at some examples:
Irregular verbs can sometimes follow different rules, but many still use "នឹង" to form the future tense. Here are some examples:

|}
|}


As you can see, the marker "នឹង" (nɨəŋ) is added before the verb to indicate future time.
The key is to practice these verbs, as they may not always behave as expected.


=== Irregular Verbs ===
=== Pronunciation Tips ===


Some verbs in Central Khmer have irregular forms in the future tense. Let's look at some examples:
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 ===
 
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

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.
