====Near vs. remote==== There are five time-frames (remote past, near past, present, [[near future (grammar)|near future]], and remote future). The distinction between near and remote tenses is not exact. The remote tenses are not used of events of today or last night, but the near tenses can sometimes be used of events of earlier or later than today: *{{lang|ny|ndi-ná-gula}} 'I bought (yesterday or some days ago)' (''remote perfect'') *{{lang|ny|nd-a-gula}} 'I have bought (today)' (''perfect'') *{{lang|ny|ndi-ku-gúla}} 'I am buying (now)' (''present'') *{{lang|ny|ndí-gula}} 'I'll buy (today)' (''near future'') *{{lang|ny|ndi-dzá-gula}} 'I'll buy (tomorrow or later)' (''remote future'')
