Mood: mood
Mood is a feature that expresses modality and subclassifies finite verb forms. It is an inflectional feature of auxiliaries and verbs.
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
- Govorim angleško in francosko. “I speak English and French.”
- Proslava bo naslednji petek. “The celebration will take place next Friday.”
Imp: imperative
The speaker uses imperative to order or ask the addressee to do the action of the verb.
Examples
- Pomij posodo! “Wash the dishes.”
- Poglejmo, kaj ste naredili. “Let’s have a look at what you have done.”
- Pospravite ta nered. “Clean up this mess!”
Cnd: conditional
Generally, the conditional mood is used to express actions that would have taken place under some circumstances but they actually did not / do not happen. In Slovenian, present and past conditional are formed using the participle of the content verb and a special conditional form of the auxiliary verb biti “to be”. Thus, only this form is marked as Cnd, regardless of whether it is used to form a conditional or any other type of modality.
Examples
- Če bi se več učil, bi naredil izpit. “If I had studied more, I would have passed the exam.”
- Da bi preglasil njihov pogovor, sem prižgal radio. “To drown out their conversation, I turned on the radio.”
- Roparji naj bi pobrali prav vse. “The robbers are supposed to have taken everything.”
- Naslednji petek bi prišli k vam na obisk. “We are thinking of visiting you next Friday.”
Conversion from JOS
All verbs with VForm=present and VForm=future are converted to Mood=Ind, all verbs with VForm=imperative are converted to Mood=Imp and all verbs with VForm=conditional are converted to Mood=Cnd. The non-finite verb forms (participle, infinitive, supine) do not have any Mood.
