Questions & Answers about Kad izađemo iz kina, ići ćemo na kavu.

Why is izađemo in a present-tense form if the sentence is talking about the future?

Because Croatian often uses the present tense in a time clause after kad when talking about a future event.

Here, izađemo is the present-tense form of the verb izaći. In this sentence, it means something like:

• when we come out
• or more exactly, when we have come out / once we come out

So even though the whole situation is in the future, Croatian does not normally use a future form after kad here.

This is actually not so different from English, which also says:

• When we come out of the cinema, we’ll go for coffee.

not:

• When we will come out...
