  • If you think about it, there's no inflection that we can use on the verb to change it, to talk about the future.

  • And we can do that with Korean.

  • There's a very specific, like, just change.

  • This is future this.

  • Exactly.

  • It's just like they have a word that means the future or something you put on the end of the word that means future.

  • If you use an s, that can mean third person singular in the present.
