Usage notes
(in the future): Strictly speaking, there is no future tense in Hungarian, so a way of expressing it (apart from the auxiliary fog, cf. going to, implying determination) is using the present tense with the adverb majd. If it is clear that future is meant, simply using the present tense on its own is sufficient.
