The future tense in Nepali is formed by adding specific markers to the verb stem. These markers indicate that the action or event will take place in the future. Additionally, the future tense can be used in various types of sentences, such as affirmative, negative, and interrogative sentences. We will explore all these aspects in detail in this lesson.
== Understanding the Future Tense in Nepali ==


In Nepali, the future tense is used to describe actions that will take place at a specific time in the future. Like in English, it is formed by using the auxiliary verb “will” or “shall” before the base form of the verb. However, in Nepali, there is no distinction between “will” and “shall.”
Let's dive into the details of the future tense in Nepali!


Here is an example of a sentence in the future tense:
== Forming the Future Tense ==


* I will write a letter tomorrow. - मैले भोलि एक पत्र लेख्नेछु। (maile bholi ek patra lekhnechu)
To form the future tense in Nepali, we add specific markers to the verb stem. The markers vary depending on the verb type and the subject of the sentence. Let's look at some examples to understand this better:


“मैले” (maile) is the subject, “भोलि” (bholi) indicates the time in the future when the action will occur, and “लेख्नेछु” (lekhnechu) is the future tense conjugation of the verb “लेख्नु” (lekhnu), which means “to write.”
=== Regular Verbs ===


== Conjugating Verbs in Future Tense ==
Regular verbs follow a specific pattern to form the future tense. We add the marker "-ne" to the verb stem to indicate the future tense. Here's an example:


The future tense is formed by adding “-ने” (-ne) at the end of the verb stem in the first and the second person singular and plural. In the third person singular and plural, the future tense is formed by adding “-े” (-e) at the end of the verb stem.

|-
| खाने || khanne || will eat
|-
| पढ्ने || padhne || will read
|-
| लेख्ने || lekhne || will write
|-
| बोल्ने || bolne || will speak
|}


Here is the future tense conjugation of the verb “जानु” (janu), which means “to go”:
As you can see, the marker "-ne" is added after the verb stem to indicate the future tense. This pattern is consistent for regular verbs in Nepali.
 
=== Irregular Verbs ===
 
Irregular verbs, on the other hand, have their own unique patterns to form the future tense. Let's look at some examples:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Nepali (individual language) !! Pronunciation !! English

| म जाने छु। (ma jane chu) || ma jane chu || I will go.

|-
|-
| तपाईं जानेछिन्। (tapai janechin) || tapai janechin || You will go.
| जाने || jane || will go
|-
|-
| उनि जानेछ। (uni janechha) || uni janechha || He/She/It will go.

|-
|-
| हामी जानेछौं। (hami janechhaum) || hami janechhaum || We will go.

|-
| उनीहरु जानेछन्। (unīharu janechhan) || unīharū janechhan || They will go.
|}
|}


== Using the Future Tense in Different Types of Sentences ==
In these examples, you can see that the future tense markers for irregular verbs are different from regular verbs. It's important to familiarize yourself with the specific patterns of irregular verbs to use the future tense correctly.
 
== Using the Future Tense ==
 
Now that we understand how to form the future tense, let's explore how it is used in different types of sentences.
 
=== Affirmative Sentences ===
 
In affirmative sentences, the future tense is used to express actions or events that will happen in the future. Here are some examples:


Like in English, the future tense is used to express certainty about future events. Here are some examples of different types of sentences using the future tense:
* मैले नेपाल जानेछु। (Maile Nepal janechu.) - I will go to Nepal.
* तिमीले त्यो पुस्तक पढ्नेछौ। (Timile tyo pustak padhnechhau.) - You will read that book.
* हामीले त्यो गीत गाउनेछौ। (Hamile tyo geet gaunechhau.) - We will sing that song.


* I will attend the ceremony tomorrow. - म भोलि कार्यक्रममा हुनेछु। (ma bholi karyakramama hunnechu)
In these examples, the future tense marker "-ne" is added to the verb stem to indicate the future action. This pattern is consistent for all affirmative sentences in the future tense.
* She will arrive tomorrow at 11 am. - उनी ११ बजे भोलि आउनेछ। (unī 11 baje bholi aunechha)
 
* We will visit Pokhara next month. - हामी अर्को महिनामा पोखरा गर्नेछौं। (hami arko mahinama Pokhara garnechhaum)
=== Negative Sentences ===
 
In negative sentences, the future tense is used to express actions or events that will not happen in the future. Here are some examples:
 
* मैले नेपाल जानेन। (Maile Nepal janena.) - I will not go to Nepal.
* तिमीले त्यो पुस्तक पढ्नेन। (Timile tyo pustak padhnen.) - You will not read that book.
* हामीले त्यो गीत गाउनेन। (Hamile tyo geet gaunen.) - We will not sing that song.
 
To form negative sentences in the future tense, we add the word "न" (na) before the future tense marker "-ne". This indicates that the action will not happen in the future.
 
=== Interrogative Sentences ===
 
In interrogative sentences, the future tense is used to ask questions about actions or events that will happen in the future. Here are some examples:
 
* के तिमीले नेपाल जानेछौ? (Ke timile Nepal janechhau?) - Will you go to Nepal?
* के हामीले त्यो पुस्तक पढ्नेछौ? (Ke hamile tyo pustak padhnechhau?) - Will we read that book?
* के तिमीहरूले त्यो गीत गाउनेछौ? (Ke timiharule tyo geet gaunechhau?) - Will you all sing that song?
 
To form interrogative sentences in the future tense, we add the question word "के" (ke) at the beginning of the sentence. This indicates that the sentence is a question about a future action.
 
== Cultural Insight ==
 
In Nepali culture, the future tense is often used to talk about plans, intentions, and predictions. Nepali people value planning and being prepared for the future. It is common to hear conversations about future goals, aspirations, and upcoming events. The future tense plays a significant role in expressing these ideas.
 
For example, during festivals like Dashain and Tihar, people make plans to celebrate with their families and friends. They discuss what they will do, what food they will prepare, and how they will decorate their homes. The future tense is used extensively in these conversations to express these plans and intentions.
 
Nepali culture is deeply rooted in spirituality and beliefs. Astrology and predictions about the future are considered important by many Nepali people. The future tense is often used when discussing astrological predictions or when seeking advice from astrologers. It is believed that knowing what the future holds can help individuals make better decisions and navigate their lives more effectively.
 
== Practice Exercises ==
 
Now, let's practice what we have learned! Complete the following exercises by translating the given sentences into the future tense in Nepali.
 
1. I will buy a new car.
2. Will you come to the party?
3. We will visit Pokhara next week.
4. They will not attend the meeting.
5. Will he learn to play the guitar?
 
Solution:
 
1. म नयाँ कार किन्नेछु। (Ma nayaan car kinnechu.)
2. के तिमी पार्टीमा आउनेछौ? (Ke timi partyma aunechhau?)
3. हामी आउँदो हप्तामा पोखरा जानेछौ। (Hamī āundō haptaamā pōkharā jānechhau.)
4. उहाँहरूले बैठकमा जानेन्। (Uhaanharūle baithakma janen.)
5. के उहाँले गिटार बजाउनेछ? (Ke uhaanle gitār bajāunechhau?)

Nepali (individual language) Grammar → Verbs and Tenses → Future Tense in Nepali

Introduction

In this lesson, we will be exploring the future tense in Nepali. The future tense is used to talk about actions or events that will happen after the present moment. Understanding how to form and use the future tense is essential for effective communication in Nepali. By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid understanding of how to express future actions in Nepali sentences.

The future tense in Nepali is formed by adding specific markers to the verb stem. These markers indicate that the action or event will take place in the future. Additionally, the future tense can be used in various types of sentences, such as affirmative, negative, and interrogative sentences. We will explore all these aspects in detail in this lesson.

Let's dive into the details of the future tense in Nepali!

Forming the Future Tense

To form the future tense in Nepali, we add specific markers to the verb stem. The markers vary depending on the verb type and the subject of the sentence. Let's look at some examples to understand this better:

Regular Verbs

Regular verbs follow a specific pattern to form the future tense. We add the marker "-ne" to the verb stem to indicate the future tense. Here's an example:

Nepali (individual language) Pronunciation English
खाने khanne will eat
पढ्ने padhne will read
लेख्ने lekhne will write
बोल्ने bolne will speak

As you can see, the marker "-ne" is added after the verb stem to indicate the future tense. This pattern is consistent for regular verbs in Nepali.

Irregular Verbs

Irregular verbs, on the other hand, have their own unique patterns to form the future tense. Let's look at some examples:

Nepali (individual language) Pronunciation English
आउने aune will come
जाने jane will go
हुने hune will happen
गर्ने garne will do/make

In these examples, you can see that the future tense markers for irregular verbs are different from regular verbs. It's important to familiarize yourself with the specific patterns of irregular verbs to use the future tense correctly.

Using the Future Tense

Now that we understand how to form the future tense, let's explore how it is used in different types of sentences.

Affirmative Sentences

In affirmative sentences, the future tense is used to express actions or events that will happen in the future. Here are some examples:

  • मैले नेपाल जानेछु। (Maile Nepal janechu.) - I will go to Nepal.
  • तिमीले त्यो पुस्तक पढ्नेछौ। (Timile tyo pustak padhnechhau.) - You will read that book.
  • हामीले त्यो गीत गाउनेछौ। (Hamile tyo geet gaunechhau.) - We will sing that song.

In these examples, the future tense marker "-ne" is added to the verb stem to indicate the future action. This pattern is consistent for all affirmative sentences in the future tense.

Negative Sentences

In negative sentences, the future tense is used to express actions or events that will not happen in the future. Here are some examples:

  • मैले नेपाल जानेन। (Maile Nepal janena.) - I will not go to Nepal.
  • तिमीले त्यो पुस्तक पढ्नेन। (Timile tyo pustak padhnen.) - You will not read that book.
  • हामीले त्यो गीत गाउनेन। (Hamile tyo geet gaunen.) - We will not sing that song.

To form negative sentences in the future tense, we add the word "न" (na) before the future tense marker "-ne". This indicates that the action will not happen in the future.

Interrogative Sentences

In interrogative sentences, the future tense is used to ask questions about actions or events that will happen in the future. Here are some examples:

  • के तिमीले नेपाल जानेछौ? (Ke timile Nepal janechhau?) - Will you go to Nepal?
  • के हामीले त्यो पुस्तक पढ्नेछौ? (Ke hamile tyo pustak padhnechhau?) - Will we read that book?
  • के तिमीहरूले त्यो गीत गाउनेछौ? (Ke timiharule tyo geet gaunechhau?) - Will you all sing that song?

To form interrogative sentences in the future tense, we add the question word "के" (ke) at the beginning of the sentence. This indicates that the sentence is a question about a future action.

Cultural Insight

In Nepali culture, the future tense is often used to talk about plans, intentions, and predictions. Nepali people value planning and being prepared for the future. It is common to hear conversations about future goals, aspirations, and upcoming events. The future tense plays a significant role in expressing these ideas.

For example, during festivals like Dashain and Tihar, people make plans to celebrate with their families and friends. They discuss what they will do, what food they will prepare, and how they will decorate their homes. The future tense is used extensively in these conversations to express these plans and intentions.

Nepali culture is deeply rooted in spirituality and beliefs. Astrology and predictions about the future are considered important by many Nepali people. The future tense is often used when discussing astrological predictions or when seeking advice from astrologers. It is believed that knowing what the future holds can help individuals make better decisions and navigate their lives more effectively.

Practice Exercises

Now, let's practice what we have learned! Complete the following exercises by translating the given sentences into the future tense in Nepali.

1. I will buy a new car. 2. Will you come to the party? 3. We will visit Pokhara next week. 4. They will not attend the meeting. 5. Will he learn to play the guitar?

Solution:

1. म नयाँ कार किन्नेछु। (Ma nayaan car kinnechu.) 2. के तिमी पार्टीमा आउनेछौ? (Ke timi partyma aunechhau?) 3. हामी आउँदो हप्तामा पोखरा जानेछौ। (Hamī āundō haptaamā pōkharā jānechhau.) 4. उहाँहरूले बैठकमा जानेन्। (Uhaanharūle baithakma janen.) 5. के उहाँले गिटार बजाउनेछ? (Ke uhaanle gitār bajāunechhau?)

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully learned how to form and use the future tense in Nepali. The future tense allows you to talk about actions or events that will happen in the future. Remember to pay attention to the verb type and subject of the sentence when forming the future tense.
