For verbal adjectives, the plain pseudo-future is formed by (once
again) combining the adjective’s with , this time in pseudo-
future form. The polite version is simply the adjective followed by or
in pseudo-future form.

+ = + /
+ = + /
+ = + /
+ = + /
For nouns, there is liĴle choice: they are simply followed by or
in pseudo-future form:
noun + → noun +
noun + → noun +
Using the pseudo-future is fairly straight forward:
”Let’s go to the beach.”
”Shall [we] go to the beach?”
?
”Where could it be?”
”(I) wonder if that book (over there) is interesting.”
”Let’s do so.”
”(he/she)’s probably a teacher.”
