Future Perfect Indicative: Active, Middle, and Passive

---

The future perfect indicative active is translated “it will have x-ed” and the passive “it will have been x-ed.” A causative (middle) translation of the future perfect indicative might look like “she will have gotten x done.”

The future perfect indicative is rare but predictable. To the perfect stem (perfect aspect markers plus the base) is added the future time marker /σ/ followed by thematic personal markers. Unlike in the future proper, the future perfect middle and passive are morphologically indistinct.

The future perfect is so rare that forms with the future time marker /ε/ do not appear. Indeed, the future perfect is usually formed periphrastically (i.e. with a perfect participle and the future of ἐσ/, “be”). Those forms (masculine) are listed under the predicted forms in the charts below.
