As you perhaps recall, in one of the previous posts I have listed various verbal forms used in Lezgi. They were many, but they were not all there is. In the upcoming series of short posts I will deal with the remaining forms and meanings.
For a start the “going to” or immediate future form. Its ending is -dajwal added to the imperfect stem of the verb (eg. qachudajwal ‘going to take’; ghidajwal ‘going to bring’ zhedajwal ‘going to be’).
This form is usually used with forms of the verb “to be”, as in following examples:
Gila kyn chi chkadal zhedajwal ja = Now, you are going to be in our place.
I xabar adaz c’iji ymyr ghidajwal ja = This news is going to bring him a new life
With past forms of ‘to be’ it corresponds to the English “was going to…”
Za waz ewer gudajwal tir = I was going to call you
Qe chun ekskursijadiz fidajwal tir, amma marf qwana = We were going to go for a trip today, but it started to rain
