Writing a Diary 15 (I intend to)

There is an alternative, compound, way of saying what we are going to do in the future. This uses, as an auxiliary verb, the simple present-future of the verb mednes wish, will, want, intend (initial <m> mutates to <v> after the verbal particle <a>)
I wish, will, want, intend is me a vedn (SWFM my a vynn)
We can say    Rag pednboodh vy me a vedn debry tesen
For my birthday I will eat cake.
For my birthday I wish to eat cake.
For my birthday I want to eat cake.
For my birthday I intend to eat cake.
Similarly:    
me  a vedn eva… 
I will drink …
me a vedn kemeres…
I will take …
me a vedn receva…
I will receive …
me a vedn degemeres…
I will receive …

Òja pednbloodh vy me a vedn perna...
