Lesson 22 1. The Future Passive Participle The future passive participle or the potential participle as it is sometimes called, is formed by adding -tabba / -anīya to the base of the verb; -tabba is mostly added with the connecting vowel -i-. These participles are declined like a ending nouns in the masculine and neuter genders, and like ā ending nouns in the feminine. They express ideas such as ‘must,' ‘should be' and ‘fit to be.'
2. Examples in sentence formation
The mother kept the (raw) rice which is to be cooked in the basket. Dārikāya bhuñjitabbaṃ / bhojanīyaṃ odanaṃ ahaṃ na bhuñjissāmi. Kassakena kātabbaṃ / karaṇīyaṃ kammaṃ kātuṃ tvaṃ icchasi. Exercise 22 3. Translate into English:
