The Future Tense
To express actions that will happen in the future using imperfective verbs, you typically form it by combining the future tense of the verb bëc ('to be') with the infinitive of the main verb, or using the simple future for perfective verbs.
- Compound Future ('bëc' + Infinitive - for imperfective verbs): bùdã, bùdzesz, bùdze, bùdzemë, bùdzece, bùdą + Infinitive.
- Simple Future (for perfective verbs): Formed using the present tense conjugation of the perfective verb.
- Examples (Compound Future - imperfective): Jô bùdã czëtac knégã (I will read a book). Të bùdzesz gôdac z nim (You will talk with him). Òna bùdze robic jutrã (She will work tomorrow). Më bùdzemë pisac (We will write). Òni bùdą kùkac na film (They will watch a film).
- Examples (Simple Future - perfective): Jô przeczëtóm knégã (I will read a book). Të pòwiesz mù (You will tell him). Òna zrobi to (She will do it).
