LingoflyThe forecast: euria egingo du
Tomorrow's weather is told in the future tense. It is built from the verb and the tail -ko, and after -n the tail sounds -go: egin → egingo, etorri → etorriko. The auxiliary stays as it was: Euria egingo du bihar — it will rain tomorrow. For example: “Euria egingo du bihar” — The rain will fall tomorrow. A rule from the Basque course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
Tomorrow's weather is told in the future tense. It is built from the verb and the tail -ko, and after -n the tail sounds -go: egin → egingo, etorri → etorriko. The auxiliary stays as it was: Euria egingo du bihar — it will rain tomorrow.
Here the weather is the doer. The rain "does", the storm "comes" (etorriko da), the day "turns sunny" (eguzkitsu egingo du).

How the rule settles in your head
A rule is not memorized from an explanation. It is memorized from an attempt to use it and a mistake — that is why the app delivers it mixed in with words, not as a separate lesson: it resurfaces exactly where you forgot it.
