Mood: mood
Mood is a feature that expresses modality and subclassifies finite verb forms.
Ind: indicative
The indicative can be considered the default mood. A verb in indicative merely states that something happens, has happened or will happen, without adding any attitude of the speaker.
Examples
- Io scrivo una lettera “I write a letter”
Imp: imperative
The speaker uses imperative to order or ask the addressee to do the action of the verb.
Examples
- Mangia la tua insalata! “Eat your salad!”
Cnd: conditional
The conditional mood is used to express actions that would have taken place under some circumstances but they actually did not / do not happen.
Examples
- Mi sarei divertito “I would have enjoyed myself”
Sub: subjunctive / conjunctive
The subjunctive mood is used under certain circumstances in subordinate clauses, typically for actions that are subjective or otherwise uncertain.
Examples
- Voglio che tu te ne vada “I want you to leave”
