Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

To express future intentions in Kannada, use the infinitive verb form followed by the auxiliary 'beku' or the future tense marker.

  • Use the infinitive (verb + 'lu') + 'iddeene' for planned actions: 'naanu hogalu iddeene' (I intend to go).
  • Use the future tense suffix '-uvenu/-uvenu' for simple future intentions: 'naanu baruttene' (I will come).
  • For strong desire/intent, use the infinitive + 'beku': 'naanu oodabeku' (I want/need to study).
Subject + Verb(infinitive) + iddeene/beku
