The Future Tense To Be – Learn the Lingala Language

The future tense Conjugating verbs in the future tense in Lingala is easy, provided you remember your pronouns and your verb infinitives.

It still involves a combination of the subject pronoun and the infinitive of the verb, but there is no letter dropping. The infinitive root stays intact and the appropriate subject pronoun is simply placed at the front.

So for kozala, this becomes:

Lingala English
na+kozala nakozala (nah-koh-ZAH-lah) I will be 
o+kozala okazala (oh-koh-ZAH-lah) you will be 
a+kozala akozala (ah-koh-ZAH-lah) he/she will be 
to+kozala tokozala (toh-koh-ZAH-lah) we will be 
bo+kozala bokozala (boh-koh-ZAH-lah) you will be (plural) 
ba+kozala bakozala (boh-koh-ZAH-lah) they will be 
e+kozala ekozala (eh-koh-ZAH-lah) it will be 

As with the distinctive ‘kee’ sound at the end of every past tense verb form, you’ll soon be able to recognise the subject pronoun and ‘ko’ at the beginning and the much different ‘ah’ sound at the end of the verb to help make sense of the lobi yesterday-tomorrow conundrum.
