Welcome to lesson forty of our Czech language course. This lesson explores how Czech expresses the English concept of “will” - both as a future tense marker and as an expression of desire or intention.
Unlike English, which uses the single auxiliary “will” for future actions, Czech employs a fundamentally different system based on verbal aspect. This lesson will teach you the future tense auxiliary být (budu, budeš, bude...) combined with imperfective infinitives, as well as the verb chtít (to want) for expressing volition.

What does “will” mean in Czech? Czech does not have a direct one-word equivalent for English “will.” Instead, future meaning is conveyed through: (1) the auxiliary verb být conjugated in future tense (budu, budeš, bude, budeme, budete, budou) combined with an imperfective infinitive, or (2) the present tense forms of perfective verbs, which inherently express completed future actions. Volition or desire is expressed separately through the verb chtít (to want).
Key Takeaways -
Czech future tense for imperfective verbs uses budu/budeš/bude/budeme/budete/budou + infinitive -
Perfective verbs express future using their present tense forms (no auxiliary needed) -
The verb chtít (to want) expresses volition: chci, chceš, chce, chceme, chcete, chtějí -
Motion verbs like jít and jet have special future forms: půjdu, pojedu (not budu jít) -
There is no sequence of tenses in Czech unlike English

Být Future Tense Forms:
budu (BOO-doo) - I will / I will be
budeš (BOO-desh) - you will (singular informal)
bude (BOO-de) - he/she/it will

These are the grammar rules for expressing “will” and future tense in Czech:
The Být Future Tense Auxiliary
Czech forms the future tense of imperfective verbs by combining the future forms of být (to be) with the infinitive of the main verb. The auxiliary být conjugates as follows in the future tense: já budu (I will), ty budeš (you will, informal), on/ona/ono bude (he/she/it will), my budeme (we will), vy budete (you will, formal/plural), oni/ony/ona budou (they will).
When used alone without an infinitive, these forms mean “I will be,” “you will be,” etc. When combined with an imperfective infinitive, they create the compound future: budu pracovat (I will work/be working), budeme cestovat (we will travel/be traveling).
Imperfective vs. Perfective Future
This distinction is crucial for understanding Czech future tense. Imperfective verbs describe ongoing, repeated, or habitual actions and require the budu + infinitive construction. Examples include pracovat (to work), psát (to write), studovat (to study), and dělat (to do).
Perfective verbs describe completed, single-occurrence actions. They express future meaning using their present tense forms without any auxiliary. For example, napíšu (I will write - completing the action), udělám (I will do - completing), and přečtu (I will read through). English speakers should note that the form looks like present tense but carries future meaning for perfective verbs.
Motion Verbs - Special Cases
Some imperfective motion verbs cannot use the budu + infinitive construction. Instead, they have special future-only forms created with the prefix pů-/po-: jít (to go on foot) becomes půjdu, půjdeš, půjde, půjdeme, půjdete, půjdou; jet (to go by vehicle) becomes pojedu, pojedeš, pojede, pojedeme, pojedete, pojedou; letět (to fly) becomes poletím, poletíš, poletí, poletíme, poletíte, poletí. You cannot say budu jít or budu jet - these are incorrect.
Expressing Volition with Chtít
The verb chtít (to want) expresses volition, desire, or intention. Unlike English “will” when expressing volition, Czech uses a separate verb. The present tense conjugation is irregular: já chci (I want), ty chceš (you want), on/ona chce (he/she wants), my chceme (we want), vy chcete (you want), oni chtějí (they want). Note the consonant changes throughout the paradigm.
Negation
For the compound future with budu, add the prefix ne- to the auxiliary: nebudu pracovat (I will not work), nebude tam (he will not be there). For perfective verbs, add ne- to the verb itself: nenapíšu (I will not write). For chtít, the negation is nechci, nechceš, nechce, nechceme, nechcete, nechtějí.
Word Order Flexibility
Czech word order is relatively flexible. The auxiliary budu can be separated from its infinitive: Zítra budu celý den pracovat is equally grammatical as Zítra budu pracovat celý den. The typical neutral order places budu before the infinitive, but emphasis or sentence rhythm may shift components.
Common Mistakes English Speakers Make
English speakers often try to use budu with perfective verbs, which is incorrect. They may also attempt budu jít instead of the correct půjdu. Another error is using present tense of imperfective verbs to express future (pracuji zítra is incorrect for “I will work tomorrow” - it should be budu pracovat zítra). Finally, confusing chtít (want) with future tense markers leads to errors; Czech keeps volition and futurity as separate concepts.
✾ ❦ ✾ ❦ ✾ ✾ ❦ ✾ ❦ ✾ ✾ ❦ ✾ ❦ ✾
Historical Development
The Czech future tense system reflects broader Slavic linguistic patterns where verbal aspect plays a central role. The budu + infinitive construction developed from earlier Proto-Slavic forms and represents a grammaticalized auxiliary system. This aspectual distinction has been a fundamental feature of Czech grammar for over a thousand years.
No Sequence of Tenses
Unlike English, Czech does not shift tenses in reported speech or subordinate clauses. If someone said “Přijdu zítra” (I will come tomorrow), reporting this remains in the original tense: Řekl, že přijde zítra (He said he will come tomorrow) - not “would come” as English requires. This can initially feel strange to English speakers but simplifies complex sentence construction.
Register and Usage
The future tense system is consistent across formal and informal registers in Czech. However, colloquial speech may sometimes drop subject pronouns more freely, relying on verb endings to convey person and number. In writing, particularly formal contexts, subject pronouns may be included for clarity or emphasis.
Regional Variations
Standard Czech (spisovná čeština) as presented in this lesson is used in writing, formal speech, and media throughout the Czech Republic. Colloquial Czech (obecná čeština) and various regional dialects may show minor variations in pronunciation or morphology, but the future tense system remains essentially consistent across all varieties.
Idiomatic Expressions
Czech uses many future tense expressions idiomatically. Uvidíme (we will see) is commonly used to express uncertainty about outcomes. Bude to dobré (it will be good/fine) offers reassurance. Jak to bude? (how will it be?) asks about arrangements or outcomes. Co bude? (what will happen?) expresses concern or inquiry about the future.
False Friends
English “will” in the sense of a legal document (testament) is závěť in Czech, not related to the verb forms. “Will” meaning determination or willpower is vůle. Be careful not to assume these meanings connect to the auxiliary budu.
This lesson is designed for English speakers learning Czech.

The following passage is adapted from the philosophical spirit of Karel Čapek (1890-1938), the renowned Czech author who gave the world the word “robot” in his play R.U.R. Čapek’s works often explored themes of humanity, technology, and the future of society. This pedagogical passage captures his contemplative style while demonstrating future tense usage.

Part F-D: Grammar Commentary
This passage demonstrates several key features of Czech future tense. Note the repeated use of budeme (we will) with imperfective infinitives: budeme dělat (we will do), budeme pracovat (we will work), budeme snít (we will dream), budeme znát (we will know), budeme ji tvořit (we will create it).
The verb chce (wants) from chtít appears in its present tense third-person singular form, expressing the general truth about human nature wanting more. The pronoun ji (it, accusative feminine) refers back to budoucnost (future, feminine noun), demonstrating Czech pronoun agreement.
The negation nebudeme znát (we will not know) shows the ne- prefix attached to the auxiliary. The passage also shows Czech’s flexible word order: budoucnost nebudeme znát places the object before the verb for emphasis.
Karel Čapek (1890-1938) was one of the most influential Czech writers of the twentieth century. Best known internationally for R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots, 1920), which introduced the word “robot” to world languages, Čapek wrote prolifically across many genres including plays, novels, travel writing, and journalism. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature seven times and was a prominent anti-fascist voice in 1930s Czechoslovakia.

Part D: Grammar Notes for Genre Section
This dialogue demonstrates natural use of future tense in conversational Czech. Note the alternation between the budu + infinitive construction for imperfective verbs and special motion verb forms.
The verb pojedeme (40.16, 40.23) is the special future form of jet (to go by vehicle). You cannot say *budeme jet - this is incorrect. Similarly, pojedu (40.21) is the first-person singular.
The verb chci (40.17, 40.26) from chtít expresses desire/want, separate from future tense marking. Czech keeps these concepts distinct where English “will” sometimes conflates them.
Note the reflexive verb koupat se (to swim/bathe) in 40.24: Budeme se koupat. The reflexive pronoun se follows the auxiliary in second position according to Czech clitic rules.
The verb zjistím in 40.29 is a perfective verb (zjistit - to find out). Its present tense form already expresses future meaning, so no auxiliary is needed. Compare this with nevím (I don’t know) which is imperfective present tense describing current state.
Bude stát (40.28) shows the impersonal use: “it will cost” where bude + infinitive stát (to cost) creates the future. Similarly, bude teplo (40.23) means “it will be warm.”
The expression už se těším (40.30) literally means “I already anticipate myself” and is the idiomatic way to say “I’m looking forward to it” in Czech.
✾ ❦ ✾ ❦ ✾ ✾ ❦ ✾ ❦ ✾ ✾ ❦ ✾ ❦ ✾
The Future Auxiliary Být
The future stem bud- combines with person/number endings to create: budu, budeš, bude, budeme, budete, budou. The stress always falls on the first syllable (BU-du, BU-de-me) as is standard in Czech. The “u” vowel is pronounced as a pure /u/ sound, similar to English “oo” in “food” but shorter.
The Verb Chtít
This verb presents pronunciation challenges due to the initial consonant cluster “ch” + “t” + vowel. Czech “ch” /x/ is the voiceless velar fricative (like German “Bach”), not the English “ch” sound. The consonant cluster in chci /xtsi/ and chce /xtse/ requires practice for English speakers.
Note the vowel alternations in the paradigm: chci uses “i,” chceš/chce/chceme/chcete use “e,” and chtějí uses “ě” + “í.” The form chtějí /xtʲejíː/ has palatalized “t” before “ě.”
Motion Verb Future Forms
The prefix pů- in půjdu /puːjdu/ has a long vowel. This distinguishes it from po- in pojedu /pojɛdu/ which has a short vowel. These prefixes historically derive from different sources and maintain their distinct pronunciations.
The Háček (ˇ)
Several words in this lesson feature the háček diacritic: češtinu, večer, chceš, již. The háček transforms consonants: č = /tʃ/ (like English “ch” in “church”), š = /ʃ/ (like English “sh”), ž = /ʒ/ (like “s” in “measure”), ř = /r̝/ (a unique Czech sound combining /r/ and /ʒ/), ě = /jɛ/ or palatalization of preceding consonant.
Long Vowels
The čárka (acute accent) marks long vowels: á, é, í, ó, ú/ů. In this lesson: zítra (ZEET-ra), dobrý (DOB-ree), jídlo (YEED-lo), místní (MEEST-nyee). Long vowels are approximately twice the duration of short vowels.
