Understanding the Future Simple Tense in Azerbaijani
The Future Simple Tense in Azerbaijani is used to talk about actions that will happen in the future. It is like saying 'I will go' or 'She will eat' in English.
Important Points
- The verb stem is the part of the verb that does not change.
- To form the Future Simple Tense, add the endings '-acaq' or '-əcək' to the verb stem.
- Choose '-acaq' if the last vowel of the verb stem is 'a' or 'ı'.
- Choose '-əcək' if the last vowel of the verb stem is 'e', 'ə', 'i', 'o', 'ö', 'u', 'ü'.
- After adding '-acaq' or '-əcək', add the personal endings to show who is doing the action.
Personal endings are added to the verb to indicate who will perform the action. These endings are similar to saying 'I', 'you', 'he', 'she', 'we', or 'they' in English.
Important Points
- For 'I', add '-am' or '-əm'.
- For 'you' (singular), add '-san' or '-sən'.
- For 'he/she/it', add no personal ending.
- For 'we', add '-ıq' or '-ik'.
- For 'you' (plural), add '-sınız' or '-siniz'.
- For 'they', add '-lar' or '-lər'.
Examples
- Mən gələcəyəm - I will come
- O, kitab oxuyacaq - He/She will read a book
- Biz oynayacağıq - We will play
Remember, the choice between '-acaq' and '-əcək' depends on the last vowel in the verb stem. This is important to make sure the word sounds right in Azerbaijani.
