Etymology

A relative clause, consisting of the conjunction ܕ-‎ (d-) + the verb ܐܵܬܹܐ‎ (ātē); hence literally “that will come”. (See usage notes below.)

Adjective

ܕܐܵܬܹܐ‎ • (d-ātē) (feminine ܕܐܵܬܝܵܐ‎ (d-ātyā), plural ܕܐܵܬܝܼ‎ (d-ātī))

  1. The next, coming, upcoming
    ‏ܒܸܬ ܦܲܪܩܲܚ ܒܫܲܒ݂ܘܼܥܵܐ ܕܐܵܬܹܐ.‎‎ ― We will finish next week.
    ‏ܒܸܬ ܚܵܙܲܚ ܥܘܼܕܵܠܹܐ ܒܝܲܪܚܵܐ ܕܐܵܬܹܐ.‎‎ ― We will see each other next month.
    ‏ܒܸܬ ܐܵܙܲܠ݇ܚ ܒܫܹܢ݇ܬܵܐ ܕܐܵܬܝܵܐ.‎‎ ― We will go next year.

Usage notes

  • The phrase ܕܐܵܬܹܐ (d-ātē) is not a true adjective, but rather, is grammatically a relative clause (literally meaning “that will come”). As a result, it does not inflect for definiteness, and its feminine singular and plural forms are the conjunction ܕ-‎ (d-) plus the third-person feminine singular future tense and third-person plural future tense (respectively) of the verb ܐܵܬܹܐ‎ (ātē).
