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
- Ты учишься в университете. “You study at the university.”
Imp: imperative
The speaker uses imperative to order or ask the addressee to do the action of the verb.
Czech verbs (except for modal verbs) have imperative forms of the second person singular, first person plural and second person plural.
Examples
- Учись в университете! “Study at the university!”
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.
Russian has present conditional and past conditional, both formed periphrastically using
the past participle of the content verb, and a special form of the auxiliary verb
бы. The special form is historically aorist tense, but the tense does not exist
in modern Russian, so the auxiliary form is better described by Mood=Cnd.
The past participle of the content verb is not marked as conditional because it can also be used in past indicative.
Examples
- Если бы я был умным, учился бы в университете. “If I were smart I would study at the university.”
