Hindi Verbs 4 (The Future Tense)
HINDI VERBS 4 (The Future Tense)
The future tense of Hindi verbs is pretty easy to make. There is a simple rule that helps to conjugate Hindi future tense and there are only three exceptions: होना, देना, लेना (honaa – to be; denaa – to give; lenaa – to take). You can see their conjugation below.
HOW TO CONJUGATE THE REGULAR VERBS TO GET A FUTURE TENSE:
When you conjugate a Hindi verb into any other tense, first remember its dictionary (or infinitive) form such as: जाना (jaanaa – to go). Now drop the ending –न (-naa) and you will get जा- (jaa-). To say “I will go” you will have to add a future tense ending for “I” –ऊँगा (-oongaa) and you’ll get जाऊँगा (jaaoongaa – I will go). The same applies for feminine gender, except that the ending should be –ई (-ee).
Pronoun | Masc. | Fem. |
मैं main I | -ऊँगा -oongaa | -ऊँगी -oongee |
All other singulars | -एगा -egaa | -एगी -egee |
तुम tum you | -ओगे -oge | -ओगी -ogee |
All plurals | -एँगे -enge | -एँगी -engee |
