Subjunctive mood (abbreviated as SJV) is the grammatical mood that is used to indicate various states of unreality, such as opinions, possibility, things that not occurred yet or things that already did not happen. It is mostly used in subordinate clauses, for in conditional clauses (after “if”) and after relative “that”, however the latter may be sometimes expressed with Gerundives instead. Subjunctive mood may occur in simple sentences too.

In Nûrlâm subjunctive mood is formed by adding suffix -ulg in place of markers of tense and nonfinite forms. It may be considered as special “future-in-the-past tense”, like adding English auxiliary verb “would” before the verb, however it may be applied to modal verbs (e.g. to transform “can” into “could”). None of other suffixes may be added after suffix -ulg.

Some modalities require certain modal verbs, in that case suffix -ulg is added to modal verb, while main verb is placed in infinitive form. Some modalities require also specific expressions in addition to subjunctive form of verb.
