Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the system of verbal forms used for marking future events and actions. The analysis shows that indicative future actions (directly determined by time of speech) are predominantly expressed with the future I tense. Examples of the relative present (the replacement of the future 1 tense with the present tense of both perfective and imperfective verbs) are very rare. Since the system lacks the future II tense, relative future actions are primarily expressed with the temporally transpositioned present tense. In this function, the future I is somewhat rarer. Finally, in strictly defined conditions, events and actions with a future temporal perspective can be expressed with the perfect tense without the auxiliary verb in a modal function.
