Mood: mood
Mood
Mood is a feature that expresses modality and subclassifies finite verb forms. In Pomak there are two moods: Indicative and Imperative.
Ind: indicative
Indicative can be considered the default mood. A verb in the indicative mood merely states that something happens, has happened or will happen, without adding any attitude of the speaker.
Examples
- Isén rábati faf bángono “Isen works at the bank”
- Vremǿso so óblači i móža da zaletí “The weather becomes cloudy and it might rain”
- Rábatasa ní kugá na svóršava “Work never ends [lit: the work never ends]”
- Hódil je mlóziš na Amériko “He has been many times to America”
- Mlózi insán vazgeštísaho tütǘnese “Many people have abandoned the tobacco [cultivation]”
Imp: imperative
The speaker uses imperative to order or ask the addressee to do the action denoted by the verb. Pomak forms deterring imperatives with the particles {\em na/ne} and {\em namój / namójte} `not’ followd by infinitives.
