Like the perfect, pluperfect has an optional analytic counterpart. This alternative form is constructed with the imperfect indicative of the auxiliary verb ‘to have’ combined with the past participle of the main verb. | |||
====Future==== | |||
The future tense expresses an action that will take place at a point subsequent to the moment of speaking. It can also be used to convey probability or conjecture about the present. | |||
Its endings are a historical development from the agglutination of the verb’s full infinitive form with the present tense endings of the auxiliary verb ‘to have’, a process common throughout the Romance languages. This has resulted in a single, unified set of endings that attaches to the infinitive for all regular verbs. | |||

Passive forms follow the regular analytical construction: | |||
* (active) dregcheraggio þata vino. → I will drink the wine. | |||
* (passive) þata vino sará dregcatu mina. → The wine will be drunk by me. | |||
In addition, Luthic has a modal future formed with the present tense of the modal auxiliary verb scolare followed by the main verb’s infinitive. It is used to express a higher degree of certainty, obligation, or determination about a future event. It carries a sense of inevitability or obligation (deontic modality): | |||
* (future) bugiraggio. → I will buy (forecast). | |||
* (deontic) schio bugire. → I shall buy (obligation). | |||
It is often accompanied by a temporal adverb: | |||
* (future) bugiraggio crai. → I will buy tomorrow (forecast for tomorrow). | |||
* (deontic) schio bugire crai. → I shall buy tomorrow (obligation for tomorrow). | |||
