Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/belarusian Belarusian] learners! 😊<br>In this lesson, we will learn about the future tense in Belarusian. We will look at how to form the future tense, as well as some examples of its use. Let's get started! __TOC__


==Forming the Future Tense==
Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/belarusian Belarusian] learners! 😊<br>
The future tense in Belarusian is formed using the verb stem + the ending -e. For example, the verb stem for the verb "to go" is ідзе (idze). To form the future tense, we add the ending -e, so the future tense of "to go" is ідзець (idzets).  
In this lesson, we will explore the Future Tense in Belarusian grammar. We will cover the basics, such as verb conjugations, as well as more advanced topics, like the difference between the Simple Future Tense and the Future Perfect Tense. Let's get started!


The future tense can also be formed using the verb stem + the ending -u. For example, the verb stem for the verb "to write" is пісаць (pisats). To form the future tense, we add the ending -u, so the future tense of "to write" is пісаць (pisatsu).

== Basics of the Future Tense ==
 
First of all, let's refresh what the Future Tense is. This tense is used to express actions that will happen in the future. In Belarusian, the Future Tense is formed by adding certain endings to the infinitive form of the verb. For example:


===Examples===
{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Belarusian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
! Belarusian !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
| Я буду гуляць  || ya budu hulyats' || I will walk
|-
|-
| я ідзу || ya idzu || I will go
| Ты будзеш гуляць  || ty budzesh hulyats' || You will walk
|-
|-
| ты пішыць || ty pishytz || You will go
| Ён будзе гуляць  || yon budze hulyats' || He will walk
|-
|-
| я пішу || ya pishu || I will write
| Мы будзем гуляць  || my budzem hulyats' || We will walk
|-
|-
| ты пішыць || ty pishytz || You will write
| Вы будзеце гуляць  || vy budzecye hulyats' || You (plural) will walk
|-
| Яны будуць гуляць  || yany buduts' hulyats' || They will walk
|}
|}


==Uses of the Future Tense==
As you can see, the Future Tense in Belarusian can be formed by adding the prefixes буду-/будзеш-/будзе-/будзем-/будзеце-/будуць- to the verb. It is important to note that these prefixes do not change, regardless of the verb used.
The future tense is used to talk about actions that will take place in the future. It can also be used to express probability or likelihood.  
 
== The Simple Future Tense vs The Future Perfect Tense ==
 
In Belarusian, there are two types of Future Tenses: The Simple Future Tense and the Future Perfect Tense.
 
The Simple Future Tense is used to describe an action that will happen in the future without any relation to any other event or state. For example:
 
* Я буду падаваць снег. (I will be falling snow.)
 
On the other hand, the Future Perfect Tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb "мець" (to have) + past participle. This tense is used to describe an action that will be completed before another future event. For example:
 
* Я буду здаваць экзамен праз два тыдні. Я мець скончаны ўваход на ўніверсітэт да таго часу. (I will be taking my exams in two weeks. I will have completed my university application by then.)
 
Pay attention to the use of the auxiliary verb "мець" in the second example. This verb is conjugated in the Future Tense to match the subject, while the main verb is in the past participle form (скончаны).
 
== Irregular Verbs in the Future Tense ==
 
Just like in many other languages, there are some irregular verbs in Belarusian that do not follow the standard Future Tense pattern. Here are some examples:


===Examples===
{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Belarusian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
! Belarusian !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
| браць (to take) || brats' || I will take
|-
|-
| я прыеду || ya pryedzu || I will come
| меркнуць (to fade) || merknuts' || You will fade
|-
|-
| ты прыедзеш || ty pryedzesh || You will come
| быць (to be) || bıć || He will be
|-
|-
| я прайду || ya prajdu || I will probably go
| ісці (to go) || istsi || We will go
|-
|-
| ты прайдзеш || ty prajdzesh || You will probably go
| ведаць (to know) || vyedats' || You (plural) will know
|-
| даваць (to give) || dats' || They will give
|}
|}


==Conclusion==
As you can see, these verbs seem to have completely different endings in the Future Tense than the ones we previously mentioned. It is important to memorize these irregular verbs and their conjugations if you want to speak Belarusian fluently.
In this lesson, we have learned about the future tense in Belarusian. We have looked at how to form the future tense, as well as some examples of its use.  
 
== Examples ==
 
To better understand the Future Tense in Belarusian, let's see some examples in context:
 
* Person 1: Ты пойдзеш са мной на кафэ? (Will you come with me to the cafe?)

Belarusian Grammar - Future Tense

Hi Belarusian learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will explore the Future Tense in Belarusian grammar. We will cover the basics, such as verb conjugations, as well as more advanced topics, like the difference between the Simple Future Tense and the Future Perfect Tense. Let's get started!

Basics of the Future Tense

First of all, let's refresh what the Future Tense is. This tense is used to express actions that will happen in the future. In Belarusian, the Future Tense is formed by adding certain endings to the infinitive form of the verb. For example:

Belarusian Pronunciation English
Я буду гуляць ya budu hulyats' I will walk
Ты будзеш гуляць ty budzesh hulyats' You will walk
Ён будзе гуляць yon budze hulyats' He will walk
Мы будзем гуляць my budzem hulyats' We will walk
Вы будзеце гуляць vy budzecye hulyats' You (plural) will walk
Яны будуць гуляць yany buduts' hulyats' They will walk

As you can see, the Future Tense in Belarusian can be formed by adding the prefixes буду-/будзеш-/будзе-/будзем-/будзеце-/будуць- to the verb. It is important to note that these prefixes do not change, regardless of the verb used.

The Simple Future Tense vs The Future Perfect Tense

In Belarusian, there are two types of Future Tenses: The Simple Future Tense and the Future Perfect Tense.

The Simple Future Tense is used to describe an action that will happen in the future without any relation to any other event or state. For example:

  • Я буду падаваць снег. (I will be falling snow.)

On the other hand, the Future Perfect Tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb "мець" (to have) + past participle. This tense is used to describe an action that will be completed before another future event. For example:

  • Я буду здаваць экзамен праз два тыдні. Я мець скончаны ўваход на ўніверсітэт да таго часу. (I will be taking my exams in two weeks. I will have completed my university application by then.)

Pay attention to the use of the auxiliary verb "мець" in the second example. This verb is conjugated in the Future Tense to match the subject, while the main verb is in the past participle form (скончаны).

Irregular Verbs in the Future Tense

Just like in many other languages, there are some irregular verbs in Belarusian that do not follow the standard Future Tense pattern. Here are some examples:

Belarusian Pronunciation English
браць (to take) brats' I will take
меркнуць (to fade) merknuts' You will fade
быць (to be) bıć He will be
ісці (to go) istsi We will go
ведаць (to know) vyedats' You (plural) will know
даваць (to give) dats' They will give

As you can see, these verbs seem to have completely different endings in the Future Tense than the ones we previously mentioned. It is important to memorize these irregular verbs and their conjugations if you want to speak Belarusian fluently.

Examples

To better understand the Future Tense in Belarusian, let's see some examples in context:

  • Person 1: Ты пойдзеш са мной на кафэ? (Will you come with me to the cafe?)
  • Person 2: Дык, я буду свабодны ўвечар. (Sure, I will be free in the evening.)
  • Person 1: Што ты будзеш робіць у сваёй выходнай? (What will you do on your day off?)
  • Person 2: Я планую пайсці ў кіно. (I plan to go to the cinema.)
  • Person 1: Яго дзяці будуць навучацца ўніверсітэце гэтай восені. (His children will go to the university this fall.)
  • Person 2: Ужо забраліся за адукацыю? (Have they already started their education?)
