Tulu Lesson 33: Future Perfect Tense

namaskAra! Welcome back!

Today we are going to learn one more tense in Tulu, i.e. Future Perfect Tense. The future perfect tense used to express a completed action in the future.

Look at the following sentence:

I will have gone

As you see, this structure is similar to what we have in present perfect tense, but an additional auxiliary verb ‘will’ is added in between.

The simple future of the verb ‘to have’ (will have) + the past participle of the main verb ‘go’ (gone)

In Tulu, we use the following structure for the Future Perfect Tense:

Past Adverbial Participles (Perfect) + simple future (Simple Present) tense of ‘uppuni/ippuni’

As I said earlier, in Tulu, Simple Present Tense also used to talk about actions that will happen certainly in the future.

So let us quickly review the conjugations of the verb ‘uppuni/ippuni’ in simple present/future tense

akulu/mokulu/Ar/mEr uppuver – They are / They will be

undekulu/aikulu uppuva – They are / They will be
