Future Tense
ಭವಿಷ್ಯತ್ ಕಾಲ
German technically has a future tense (werden + infinitive), but everyday speech mostly just uses the present tense plus a time word — Kannada, by contrast, marks the future right on the verb with its own ending.
Grammar Comparison
ವ್ಯಾಕರಣ ಹೋಲಿಕೆ
Present tense often does the job of the future
Ich fahre morgen nach Berlin. (present-tense fahre, but morgen makes the future meaning clear)
ನಾನು ನಾಳೆ ಬರ್ಲಿನ್ಗೆ ಹೋಗುತ್ತೇನೆ. (a distinct future-tense verb ending, -ತ್ತೇನೆ)
Kannada marks future time on the verb itself with its own ending (ಹೋಗುತ್ತೇನೆ, 'I will go', built the same way whether the action is happening now or later — context and time words do the real work). German has a dedicated construction too, werden + infinitive (Ich werde fahren), but German speakers very often skip it in everyday speech and simply use the present tense with a time word like morgen ('tomorrow') to signal the future instead. Use werden + infinitive when you want to be unambiguous or emphatic; otherwise present tense plus a time word is the more natural everyday choice.
