Hi Bashkir learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn about the future tense in Bashkir. We will look at how to form the future tense, and how to use it in sentences.
The future tense is used to talk about actions that will happen in the future. In Bashkir, the future tense is formed by adding the suffix -са/-сә to the verb stem. The suffix -са/-сә is added to the verb stem depending on the last letter of the verb stem.
If the last letter of the verb stem is a consonant, then the suffix -са is added. For example:
| Bashkir | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| куласа | kulasá | to read |
| тураса | turasá | to go |
| хәбәр итәсә | khäbär itäsä | to write a letter |
If the last letter of the verb stem is a vowel, then the suffix -сә is added. For example:
| Bashkir | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| ачысә | achysä | to understand |
| диләсә | diläsä | to speak |
| исәсә | isäsä | to listen |
The future tense can also be used to express an intention or a plan. For example:
| Bashkir | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| мин турасам | min turasam | I will go |
| ул диләсәм | ul diläsam | He will speak |
| без ачысәм | bez achysam | We will understand |
The future tense can also be used to express a prediction or a supposition. For example:
| Bashkir | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| мин куласам | min kulasam | I will read |
| ул хәбәр итәсәм | ul khäbär itäsam | He will write a letter |
| без исәсәм | bez isäsam | We will listen |
