The Future
The future is used to make projections about what is to come as well, in conditional statements, as well as to commit the speaker to certain actions. In English, the High Valyrian future may be expressed like 'is going to,' 'will,' or 'shall.'

Consonant Final Verbs
Below shows the future conjugation of maghagon. All consonant final verbs share these personal endings. The palatals, 'lj' and 'ñ,' depalatalize before any ending that begins with 'i' or a consonant; all future endings begin in 'i' so 'lj' always becomes 'l,' and 'ñ,' always becomes 'n.'
| magh-inna
|
I shall carry
|
first person singular
|
| magh-ilā
|
you will carry
|
second person singular
|
| magh-ilza
|
he, she, it is is going to carry
|
third person singular
|
| magh-ili
|
we shall carry
|
first person plural
|
| magh-ilāt
|

|
second person plural
|
| magh-ilzi

|

|
Vowel Final Verbs
There are also five vowel final verb forms that have two forms in the future. These are similar to the consonant final verbs except that the 'i' becomes either 'ē' or 'ī'. The future is formed from the verbal stem plus the theme vowel change, M, plus the personal ending. They stick to this changed vowel and have an otherwise identical personal ending to consonant final verbs. In the generic conjugation below, √ is the verb stem and M is the theme vowel change.
For -agon and -ogon, M=ē.
For -egon, -igon, and -ugon, M=ī.
| √-M-nna
|
first person singular
|
| √-M-lā
|
second person singular
|
| √-M-lza
|
third person singular
|
| √-M-li

|
| √-M-lāt

| √-M-lzi
|
third person plural
|
Exercise 1

The Future Subjunctive

Consonant Final Verbs
Below shows the future subjunctive conjugation of maghagon. All consonant final verbs share these personal endings. The palatals, 'lj' and 'ñ,' depalatalize before any ending that begins with 'i' or a consonant; again, all future subjunctive endings begin in 'i' so 'lj' always becomes 'l,' and 'ñ,' always becomes 'n.'
