Understanding the Future Simple Tense in Հայերեն (Armenian)
The Future Simple Tense helps us talk about things that will happen in the future. In Armenian, we use this tense to say what someone will do or what will happen later.
Important Points
- The Future Simple Tense is used to express actions that will happen in the future.
- In Armenian, verbs change their endings to show the future tense.
- We often use words like 'tomorrow' or 'next week' with the Future Simple Tense.
- The structure is usually subject + verb in future form.
Let's see how we can form the Future Simple Tense in Armenian. We take the root of the verb and add specific endings to it. These endings show that the action will happen in the future.
Examples
- Ես կգրեմ նամակը։ (I will write the letter.)
- Նա կխաղա բակում։ (He/she will play in the yard.)
- Մենք կգնանք դպրոց։ (We will go to school.)
Notice how the verbs change. The word 'կ' is added before the verb root, and different endings are used depending on who is doing the action.
Important Points
- For 'I', use 'կ' + verb root + 'եմ'.
- For 'you' (singular), use 'կ' + verb root + 'ես'.
- For 'he/she/it', use 'կ' + verb root + 'ի'.
- For 'we', use 'կ' + verb root + 'ենք'.
- For 'you' (plural), use 'կ' + verb root + 'եք'.
- For 'they', use 'կ' + verb root + 'են'.
By learning these endings, you can talk about the future in Armenian. Remember to practice with different verbs to get comfortable with the changes.
