How to use the future tense in Iraqi Arabic

Essentials
grammar

Today you’re going to hear how to talk about future actions in Iraqi Arabic.

(راح/رح)‬ is the future marker in this dialect. It’s a good idea to compare this to the future markers of other dialects which may differ considerably.

Sample sentences:

  • I will go
  • You will run
  • You (plural) will sleep
  • She will come
  • He will speak
  • We will see
  • They will know
  • Sercan Duyar

    I thought it’s دا in Iraqi Arabic. Like “دا اكل”

    • Merna Kayser

      yes, it’s right but دا اكل in present contentious tense like I am eating now.
