Future tense

1. In many cases present tense can be used to express future action.

Nyáron elutazom a Balatonra. I will go to Lake Balaton in the summer.
Holnap elmondom a cimet. I will tell you the address tomorrow.

2. The future tense can be expressed with the word 'fog'+ the indefinite form of the verb. The word 'fog' receives the appropriate person/number ending, and the verb you actually want to put to future tense remains present indefinite. The word 'fog' can be put before or after the verb:
Könyvet fogok venni. I will buy a book.
Venni fogok egy könyvet. The same

The order of words in Hungarian sentence depends on what you want to emphasize. Word order is an important term in Hungarian, I will discuss it later in an advanced lesson. The meaning of the sentence might be slightly different with different word order. In this above example there is a little difference only. The first sentence emphasizes that I will buy a BOOK (e.g. not a tape) The second emphasizes that I will BUY the book (not read) What you need to understand now is that the order can be different.

Future Indefinite

olvasni fogok olvasni fogunk
olvasni fogsz olvasni fogtok
olvasni fog olvasni fognak

Future Definite

olvasni fogom olvasni fogjuk
olvasni fogod olvasni fogjátok
olvasni fogja olvasni fogják
