The Future Tense To Be – Learn the Lingala Language
The future tense Conjugating verbs in the future tense in Lingala is easy, provided you remember your pronouns and your verb infinitives.
It still involves a combination of the subject pronoun and the infinitive of the verb, but there is no letter dropping. The infinitive root stays intact and the appropriate subject pronoun is simply placed at the front.
So for kozala, this becomes:
| Lingala | English | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| na+kozala | nakozala | (nah-koh-ZAH-lah) | I will be |
| o+kozala | okazala | (oh-koh-ZAH-lah) | you will be |
| a+kozala | akozala | (ah-koh-ZAH-lah) | he/she will be |
| to+kozala | tokozala | (toh-koh-ZAH-lah) | we will be |
| bo+kozala | bokozala | (boh-koh-ZAH-lah) | you will be (plural) |
| ba+kozala | bakozala | (boh-koh-ZAH-lah) | they will be |
| e+kozala | ekozala | (eh-koh-ZAH-lah) | it will be |
As with the distinctive ‘kee’ sound at the end of every past tense verb form, you’ll soon be able to recognise the subject pronoun and ‘ko’ at the beginning and the much different ‘ah’ sound at the end of the verb to help make sense of the lobi yesterday-tomorrow conundrum.
