Understanding the Future Tense in Slovenian
The future tense in Slovenian is used to talk about things that will happen later. It's like when you say, 'I will go to the park tomorrow.' In Slovenian, we change the verb a little to show that it will happen in the future.
Important Points
- Use the future form of 'biti' which is 'bom', 'boš', 'bo', 'bova', 'bosta', 'bomo', 'boste', 'bodo'.
- Combine 'biti' with the infinitive form of the main verb.
- The structure is: subject + future form of 'biti' + infinitive verb.
Let's break it down: if you want to say 'I will play', you start with 'I' (jaz), then add 'will be' (bom), and finally 'play' (igrati). So, it becomes 'Jaz bom igrati.'
Examples
- Jaz bom brati knjigo.
- Ti boš pisati pismo.
- On bo jest kosilo.
Remember, the future tense is all about what will happen. You can talk about anything you plan to do, like playing, eating, or reading, just by using 'biti' in the future form and adding the action you want to do.
