Pi’el in the future: אֲדַבֵּר, יְסַדֵּר, נְשַׁלֵּם

Pi’el is the friendliest future. Take the present form and swap its מְ for the person’s letter with the same silent vowel: מְדַבֵּר, so אֲדַבֵּר «I will speak», תְּדַבֵּר «you will speak», יְדַבֵּר «he will speak», נְדַבֵּר «we will speak». The a, e tune in the middle does not move.

As always, «you» (f.) adds ־ִי and the plurals add ־וּ, and the e steps aside: תְּדַבְּרִי, יְדַבְּרוּ. The א of «I» sounds a: אֲסַדֵּר, אֲשַׁלֵּם, אֲבַקֵּשׁ. The same tune works on every pi’el you already know: יְסַפֵּר, יְקַבֵּל, יְטַלְפֵּן, יְבַקֵּר, יְלַמֵּד.

The page has the explanation, the table of לְסַדֵּר in the future and the first two exercises: «I will pay for the coffee» and «he will tell us everything tomorrow». The other four, including typing the verb yourself and building a sentence, open with a free account.
