Conditional mood

cond.

Pure irrealis

Objective marker: -饜尠饜尶

艒-grade: -饜尮饜尶-

膿-grade: -饜尨饜尮-


Conditional mood is used for non-real actions that will occur if some specified condition is fulfilled. Conditional mood is usually encountered in conditional sentences, but can also occur outside of them.

As an irrealis mood, conditional is grammatically tenseless, while morphological present (I) and past (II) tenses express different submoods:

Conditional I (present conditional) is similar in meaning to the indicative mood, marking actions that are either guaranteed or highly likely to happen if the condition is fulfilled.

Conditional II (past conditional) is similar in meaning to the dubitative mood, marking events that may occur if the condition is fulfilled, but can be reasonably expected to not happen even if the condition is met.

Despite its name, conditional mood can often be encountered outside of conditional sentences. In these cases some implied condition should still be present in the context.

Strong-like conditionals use degraded even vowels in agentive mode with a subjunctive marker -饜尠.

Durative-static uses degraded -饜尶虅- as leading vowel in all non-past forms.

As an irrealis mood, conditional only uses the major past vowel in root-dynamic aspects.
