36.3 When to use and how to form the Future Perfect (Συντελεσμένος Μέλλοντας)
The Future Perfect in Greekcypriot is used when we are referring to actions that will have already happened in the future before another
action takes place. A common word particle that it is used with this tense is ‘πιλέ’ meaning ‘already’ and precedes or follows a sentence
starting with ‘πριν να’ (before) or ‘ως την ώραν που’ (by the time).
Its formation is very simple since it uses the particle ‘εννά’ meaning ‘will’ with the Present Perfect. Therefore:
Future Particle ‘will’ + Present Perfect
Σύνδεζμος Μέλλοντα ‘εννά’ + Παρατζ’είμενος

36.4 When to use and how to form the Conditional (Ποχετικός Μέλλοντας)
The Conditional in Greekcypriot is used when we are referring to actions that could have happened usually under certain conditions or
which could have happened but haven’t because of a change in the conditions. The sentence following or preceding the conditional can be
in the conditional if the sentence is totally hypothetical or any other tense referring to a change in the condition.
Its formation is very simple since it uses the particle ‘εννά’ meaning ‘will’ with the Imperfect. Therefore:
Future Particle ‘will’ + Imperfect
Σύνδεζμος Μέλλοντα ‘εννά’ + Παρατατικός
Φερειπείν
Εννά επήαιννα ειστήν εκκλησ’άν, πριν να έρκουμουν δαμέ.
