Questions & Answers about Tuj kiam ili malfermos la bankejon, ni deponos monon.

Why are both verbs in the future tense: malfermos and deponos?

Because Esperanto often uses the future in both clauses when both actions are still in the future.

• malfermos = will open
• deponos = will deposit

So:

• Tuj kiam ili malfermos la bankejon, ni deponos monon.
• Literally: As soon as they will open the bank, we will deposit money.

In natural English, the first verb is usually present tense: As soon as they open the bank, we will deposit money.
But in Esperanto, using -os in both parts is completely normal.

What does tuj kiam mean exactly?

Tuj kiam means as soon as or immediately when.

• tuj = immediately, right away
• kiam = when

Together they form a very common expression:

• tuj kiam = as soon as

So the sentence is talking about something that will happen immediately after the bank opens.

Why is it bankejon and not just bankon?
