About this rule
How to tell
Add -b- plus the ending to the stem:
Tumi (you) and o (he or she) share the same form.
Why it works
One form covers will, going to and shall. As a question it also makes a polite offer:
Good to know
Tumi (you) and o (he or she) both use -be. The subject tells them apart:
Good to know
In relaxed speech you will hear korba (you'll do) for tumi korbe (you'll do). It is a little informal, not wrong.
Examples
I'll call you tonight.
Ami aj raat-e tomake phone korbo.
Word by wordI today night-at you phone will-do
Will you eat?
Tumi khabe?
Word by wordyou will-eat
When will he come?
O kokhon ashbe?
Word by wordhe when will-come
Will you come tomorrow? (respectful)
Apni kal ashben?
Word by wordyou(resp) tomorrow will-come
It will rain.
Brishti hobe.
Word by wordrain will-happen
Slips to avoid
Ami (I) takes -bo.
Apni (you, respectful) needs the -n.
