Understanding the Future Tense in Română
The future tense in Română is used to talk about actions that will happen in the future. Just like in English when we say 'I will go', in Română we have special ways to show something will happen later.
Important Points
- The basic way to form the future tense is by using 'voi' (I will), 'vei' (you will), 'va' (he/she/it will), 'vom' (we will), 'veți' (you all will), and 'vor' (they will) plus the main verb.
- Another way to form the future tense is by using 'o să' before the main verb.
- The future tense can also be formed using the verb 'a vrea' (to want) as in 'eu voi merge' (I will go).
These are the three main ways to talk about the future in Română. Each has a slightly different feel, but they all mean something will happen later.
Examples
- Eu voi mânca o înghețată.
- El va merge la școală.
- Noi vom cânta la concert.
Let's look at another way to talk about the future using 'o să'. This is more casual and often used in speaking.
Examples
- O să citim o carte.
- O să plouă mâine.
- O să facem prăjituri.
