Hi Nepali (individual language) learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn about the future tense in Nepali (individual language) grammar. The future tense is used to talk about events that will happen in the future. Let's dive in!
Forming the Future Tense
To form the future tense, we use the auxiliary verb "हुने" (hune) which means "to happen". We add this verb after the root verb. Here's the formula: "Root verb + हुने"
Let's take some examples to understand it better:
| Nepali (individual language) | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| खाना हुने | khana hune | will eat |
| देख्ने हुने | dekhne hune | will see |
| पढ्ने हुने | padhne hune | will read |
Using the Future Tense
Now that we know how to form the future tense, let's see how we can use it. We use the future tense in Nepali (individual language) grammar to talk about events that will happen in the future. Here are some examples:
- तिमीलाई के खाना छ? (timilai ke khana cha?) - What will you eat?
- म के गर्ने? (ma ke garne?) - What will I do?
- सबैलाई घर फर्केर बाटोमा धेरै चढाई लाग्ने छ (sabailai ghar farkera bato ma dherai chadhai lagnai cha) - Everybody will have to climb a lot after returning home.
Exceptions
There are some exceptional cases where we use the future tense differently in Nepali (individual language) grammar. For instance, in the case of "will not", we use "हुँदैन" (hudain) instead of "हुने" (hune) and add it after the root verb. Here's an example:
- म कुनै छान किन्दैन (ma kunai chaa kinain) - I will not buy anything good.
Dialogue
Here's a dialogue to help you see the future tense in action:
- Person 1: तपाईं के खानु हुन्छ? (tapai ke khannu huncha?) - What will you eat?
- Person 2: म सेकुवा खाने हुन्छु (ma sekwa khane hunchhu) - I will eat Sekuwa.
