#38 Japanese verb ~ Future form ~
2019. 2. 1
Hi everyone.
How are you?
It's kÜshi.
Japanese verbs is one of the hardest grammars of
Japanese because of its changing.
So I'm trying to organize them so that you can study
easier.
Today I explain about the future form.
This is very easy, but sometimes confusing because
of the simpleness.
I hope this helps you.

~ Future form ~
To our surprise, Japanese doesn't have the future form!
Oh... I can guess what you think, "so how can I tell
about the future??"
Japanese doesn't have the future form, but can tell
about the future.
It not unique to Japanese, but Chinese has the
future form as well nor even the past form.
But we can talk with no problem.
We use "normal form" to tell about the future like
"I go to there tomorrow".
That sounds strange but you can get the meaning, right?
So there's no problem without future form.
For example:
・明日 する
/ashita suru/
... I'll do it tomorrow
→する means to do.
・今 する
/Ima suru/
... I'll do it now
・そこ 行く？
/soko i-ku?/
...Are you going there?
→そこ means ''there"
→行く means to go.
・これ食べる？
/kore ta-beru?/
...Will you eat this?
So it means like "Do you want to eat it?"
→これ means "this"
→食べる means to eat.
That's very simple!
All you have to do is remember normal form of verbs.
