ne bom

Negative Future Statements

Level 3

Future negation uses separate ne before bom and its other forms.

How It Works

Future negation uses separate ne before bom and its other forms. If another verb is present, its l-participle agrees with the subject as in an affirmative future.

Write ne bom as two words, unlike present nisem. Compare Ne bom delal with Nisem delal: the participle may be identical while the auxiliary changes the time. An ordinary direct object under future negation follows the genitive pattern too.

  3. Jutri ne bomo doma.

    We will not be at home tomorrow.
