Understanding Future Tense[edit | edit source]

The future tense in Nepali indicates actions that will happen in the future. It is essential for making predictions, plans, and intentions. Just like in English, we use specific verbs and endings to express this tense.

In Nepali, the future tense is typically formed using the verb root followed by specific suffixes. The choice of suffix may vary based on the subject pronoun (I, you, he, she, we, they).

Forming Future Tense[edit | edit source]

To form the future tense in Nepali, we generally follow this structure:

Verb Root + Future Tense Suffix

Here’s a breakdown of common subject pronouns and their corresponding future tense suffixes:

| Subject Pronoun | Future Tense Suffix |

|------------------|---------------------|

| म (ma - I) | -छु (-chu) |

| तिमी (timī - you) | -छौ (-chau) |

| ऊ (ū - he) / उनी (unī - she) | -छ (chha) |

| हामी (hāmī - we) | -छौं (-chāu) |

| तिनीहरू (tinīharū - they) | -छन् (-chhan) |

For example, the verb "to eat" in Nepali is "खानु (khānu)." To use it in the future tense:

म खानेछु (ma khānechu) - I will eat.

तिमी खानेछौ (timī khānechau) - You will eat.

ऊ खानेछ (ū khānechha) - He will eat.

हामी खानेछौं (hāmī khānechāu) - We will eat.

तिनीहरूले खानेछन् (tinīharū khānechhan) - They will eat.

Examples of Future Tense in Sentences[edit | edit source]

Let’s look at some practical examples to understand how the future tense works in different contexts.

+=== Understanding Future Tense ===
-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 indicates actions that will happen in the future. It is essential for making predictions, plans, and intentions. Just like in English, we use specific verbs and endings to express this tense.
-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.
+In Nepali, the future tense is typically formed using the verb root followed by specific suffixes. The choice of suffix may vary based on the subject pronoun (I, you, he, she, we, they).
-Let's dive into the details of the future tense in Nepali!
+=== Forming Future Tense ===
-== Forming the Future Tense ==
+To form the future tense in Nepali, we generally follow this structure:
-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:
+'''Verb Root + Future Tense Suffix'''
-=== Regular Verbs ===
+Here’s a breakdown of common subject pronouns and their corresponding future tense suffixes:
-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:
+| Subject Pronoun | Future Tense Suffix |
+|------------------|---------------------|
+| म (ma - I)      | -छु (-chu)         |
+| तिमी (timī - you) | -छौ (-chau)      |
+| ऊ (ū - he) / उनी (unī - she) | -छ (chha)  |
+| हामी (hāmī - we) | -छौं (-chāu)      |
+| तिनीहरू (tinīharū - they) | -छन् (-chhan) |
+For example, the verb "to eat" in Nepali is "खानु (khānu)." To use it in the future tense:
+* म खानेछु (ma khānechu) - I will eat.
+* तिमी खानेछौ (timī khānechau) - You will eat.
+* ऊ खानेछ (ū khānechha) - He will eat.
+* हामी खानेछौं (hāmī khānechāu) - We will eat.
+* तिनीहरूले खानेछन् (tinīharū khānechhan) - They will eat.
