Language/Marathi/Grammar/Future-Tense
Hi Marathi learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn about the future tense in Marathi. We will look at how to form sentences in the future tense, and how to use them in everyday conversations.
The future tense is used to talk about actions that will happen in the future. In Marathi, the future tense is formed by adding the suffix तोय (toy) to the verb stem. For example, the verb stem for the verb लागणे (lagne) is लागण् (lagna). To form the future tense, we add the suffix तोय (toy) to the verb stem, giving us लागणेतोय (lagnetoy).
Let's look at some examples of sentences in the future tense:
| Marathi | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| मी काही करेतोय | mee kahee karetoy | I will do something |
| तुझ्यासाठी मी काही करेतोय | tujhya saathhee mee kahee karetoy | I will do something for you |
| तुझ्यावर मी जाऊन जाऊतोय | tujhya var mee jaaun jaautoy | I will go to you |
| तुझ्यावर मी आणून आणूतोय | tujhya var mee aanun aanutoy | I will come to you |
| तुझ्यासाठी मी काही करून देतोय | tujhya saathhee mee kahee karoon detoy | I will give something to you |
The future tense can also be used to talk about plans or intentions. For example:
| Marathi | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| मी आज घरी जाऊन जाऊतोय | mee aaj gharhee jaaun jaautoy | I will go home today |
| मी आज काही करून देतोय | mee aaj kahee karoon detoy | I will give something today |
| मी आज काही करेतोय | mee aaj kahee karetoy | I will do something today |
| मी आज काही खाऊन खाऊतोय | mee aaj kahee khaaun khaautoy | I will eat something today |
| मी आज काही पहातोय | mee aaj kahee pahaatoy | I will see something today |
The future tense can also be used to make predictions about the future. For example:
| Marathi | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| तुझ्यासाठी मी काही करेतोय | tujhya saathhee mee kahee karetoy | I will do something for you |
| तुझ्यावर मी जाऊन जाऊतोय | tujhya var mee jaaun jaautoy | I will go to you |
| तुझ्यावर मी आणून आणूतोय | tujhya var mee aanun aanutoy | I will come to you |
| तुझ्यासाठी मी काही करून देतोय | tujhya saathhee mee kahee karoon detoy | I will give something to you |
| तुझ्यासाठी मी काही करेतोय | tujhya saathhee mee kahee karetoy | I will do something for you |
