The Future via the Present

More good news: Finnish has no future tense. To talk about the future you use the ordinary present tense plus a time word — and context does the rest. When you want to stress an intention ("going to"), reach for the verb aikoa.

  • Huomenna menen Lappiin. (Tomorrow I'll go to Lapland.)
  • Ensi viikolla matkustamme junalla. (Next week we'll travel by train.)
  • Aiotko sinä opiskella suomea? (Are you going to study Finnish?)
