Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/libyan-arabic Libyan Arabic] learners! 😊


For example, the verb "to write" (كتب) in the future tense for the first person singular (I) is كتبتْ (katabt).  
In this lesson, we will focus on the future tense in Libyan Arabic. The future tense is used to talk about actions or events that will happen in the future. By the end of this lesson, you will have a good understanding of how to use the future tense in Libyan Arabic.


The table below shows the different forms of the future tense for the verb "to write" (كتب):  
__TOC__
 
== Forming the Future Tense ==
 
In Libyan Arabic, the future tense is formed by adding the prefix "ح" (ha) before the verb. For example:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Libyan Arabic !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
! Libyan Arabic !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
| حنشرب || hanshrab || We will drink
|-
|-
| كتبتْ || katabt || I will write
| حيكتب || hayktob || He will write  
|-
|-
| كتبتِ || katabti || You (fem.) will write
| حيشرب || hayshrab || He will drink
|}
 
Note that the prefix "ح" is sometimes replaced by "رح" (rah) to indicate the future tense. For example:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Libyan Arabic !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| كتبَ || kataba || He/She will write
| رحنروح || rah nrooh || We will go
|-
|-
| كتبنا || katabna || We will write
| رحناكل || rah nakol || We will eat
|}
 
Additionally, some verbs have irregular forms in the future tense. For example:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Libyan Arabic !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| كتبتم || katabtum || You (pl.) will write
| حيرجع || hayrjea || He will return
|-
|-
| كتبوا || katabu || They will write
| حيطير || haytir || He will fly
|}
|}


To form negative sentences in the future tense, you need to add the particle لن (lan) before the verb. For example, the negative sentence "I will not write" is لن كتبتْ (lan katabt).  
Make sure to memorize the irregular forms as they do not follow the same pattern as regular verbs.
 
== Examples in Context ==
 
Here are some examples of the future tense being used in context:
 
* Person 1: شنو طعم الشاي؟ (shno taa3im ashay?) (What's the taste of the tea?)
* Person 2: حيكون حلو. (haykoon heloo.) (It will be sweet.)
 
* Person 1: وين راح تمشي اليوم؟ (wein raa7 tmoshi lyoom?) (Where will you walk today?)
* Person 2: رح امشي على الشاطئ. (rah amshi 3ala ashatee.) (I will walk on the beach.)
 
* Person 1: شنو رح تسوي بعدين؟ (shno rah tsawee ba3deen?) (What will you do later?)
* Person 2: رح اروح السينما. (rah arrooh asseenaama.) (I will go to the cinema.)
 
== Exercises ==
 
Now it's time to practice! Below are some exercises to help you solidify your understanding of the future tense.
 
1. Conjugate the verb "يدرس" (yedros) in the future tense for the pronoun "أنتم".
 
2. What is the irregular form of the verb "يكتب" (yektob) in the future tense?
 
3. Translate the following sentence to Libyan Arabic: "They will travel next week."

2. حيكتب (hayktob)
3. هما رح يسافروا الأسبوع الجاي. (huma rah ysaafroo al'asbuu3 aljaay.)
4. We will go to the market.  


You can also use the future tense to talk about habits or routines. For example, the sentence "I will go to the market every Saturday" is أنا راح للسوق كل يوم سبت (ana raah lis-suq kul yawm sabt).
