Hi Abkhazian learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn about the future tense in Abkhazian. We will look at how to form the future tense, as well as some examples of its use.
Forming the Future Tense
The future tense in Abkhazian is formed by adding the suffix -ахъ to the verb stem. This suffix is added to the end of the verb stem, regardless of the person or number. For example, the verb сабыр (to go) has the future tense form сабырахъ (will go).
