Saan ka pupunta? Where are you going? This is the translation h

Tagalog does not have tenses, it has aspects. Saan ka pupunta, is indeed, Where WILL YOU go? and the action has not started. Saan ka papunta? might be better, Where are you on the way to?
or Saan ka pumupunta? To be honest I'm not actually sure the difference between pa+ and the uncompleted aspect.I look forward an experts corrections.EDIT: Also I will note, that Saan ka pupunta? is normally a greeting for someone who is stationary. It's almost like a "Hey whats up!" .Infact they don't actually expect a real answer to the question. It's commmon to say "diyan lang" in reply. (Just over there.)Again open to corrections if I'm horribly wrong here.

@AMBoy thanks. It raises more questions. But, for now, I’ll be ok with understanding it as a colloquialism. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

Completion in Aspect vs Time in Tense..."sakto lang"... "little close" but a ways from exact.Completed = Past Tense. REALLY close.Ongoing ?=? Current How many activities have a super clear stopping point...my life is more muddyContemplated <> Future If you are planning...are you doing? Man you should meet my team members that seem to WANT to do nothing but plan (& pray for risk reduction)?In practice, if you search words/phrases here in Tagalog.com with the great TDC corpus resource, my dive revealsMost verb conjugations don't favor the future tense. Well this is all just a matter of fact right? NGEK!Past tense is the clear favored ASPECT for most verbs. Continuing Current Aspect...more than half as much...but not 75% as frequent as completed aspect. And most of all...root or infinitive forms.Your quickest leverage point are phrases. Youtube...70 one word phrases...500 short phrases...300 questions. Pangako ha...Pramis na pramis..you will progress fastest learning in context. There will be many mysteries still...but you can unravel the bite sized chunks..and jump into simple movie dialogues...like Bar Boys...I think on YouTube and plenty of English context around the Tagalog.Kita kits sa labas HA!

Saan ka pupunta? means Where are you going ( to go )? So it does have a future meaning just like : Saan ka mag-aaral mamaya? = Where are you going to study later? Tagalog verbs have their tenses ( past, present, future) just like in English.
