Hi Tajik learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn about the future tense in Tajik. We will look at how to form the future tense, as well as some examples of its use.
The future tense is used to talk about actions that will happen in the future. In Tajik, the future tense is formed by adding the suffix -манда to the verb stem. For example, the verb хонед (to go) becomes хонедманда (will go).
