=====Future=====
The strong future stem is described differently by Wedekind, Wedekind, and Musa and by Vanhove. Both agree that it is a fixed stem followed by a present/imperfective conjugated form of the verb {{lang|bej-Latn|diya}} "to say." Wedekind, Wedekind, and Musa's strong stem is similar to the past continuous/aorist stem (next section), and identical for all numbers, genders, and persons, except the first person plural, which has a prefixed {{lang|bej-Latn|n-}}. For Vanhove, there are distinct singular and plural stems which are identical to the past continuous/aorist first person singular and plural, respectively.{{sfnm|1a1=Wedekind|1a2=Wedekind|1a3=Musa|1y=2007|1p=101|2a1=Vanhove|2y=2014|2loc=§3.2.6.2}} Similarly, for weak verbs, Wedekind, Wedekind, and Musa have a future stem ending in {{lang|bej-Latn|-i}} with a first person plural {{lang|bej-Latn|-ni}}, followed by a present tense/imperfective conjugation of {{lang|bej-Latn|diya}}. Vanhove sees the {{lang|bej-Latn|-i}} as a singular future, and the {{lang|bej-Latn|-ni}} as a general plural. For negative verbs, the negative present/imperfective of {{lang|bej-Latn|diya}} is used as the conjugated auxiliary.

(NB: Wedekind, Wedekind, and Musa see verbs of the form CiCiC as having identical past continuous [aorist] and future stems. Some verbs of other forms have different stems, which would lead to a greater divergence between the forms described by them and those described by Vanhove.) E.M. Roper, describing the same dialect as Vanhove, identifies the stem employed as being identical to the past continuous/aorist (for him, "conditional"—see above), just as Vanhove does. However, he understands the form with {{lang|bej-Latn|n-}} as being used only with the first person plural, as Wedekind, Wedekind, and Musa do.{{sfn|Roper|1928|loc=§183}}

======Intentional/desiderative======
In addition to the future, Bidhaawyeet has a similar form expressing desire to undertake an act or intention to do so. The citation root takes a suffix {{lang|bej-Latn|-a}} for all persons, genders, and numbers, and is followed by a present tense/imperfective conjugated form of the verb {{lang|bej-Latn|diya}} "to say", as the future is.{{sfnm|1a1=Wedekind|1a2=Wedekind|1a3=Musa|1y=2007|1pp=154–155|2a1=Vanhove|2y=2014|2loc=§3.2.6.3}}
