What is the Conditional Mood?

The conditional mood is used to express a hypothetical situation or a wish. It is also used to express politeness when making requests. In Halh Mongolian, the conditional mood is formed by adding the suffix -s to the verb stem.

Examples

Here are some examples of the conditional mood in action:

• Би хүсэлтэй байна - I would like (lit. I am with request)
• Та ирэх боломжтой байвал - If you could come (lit. If you come possibility)
• Та амьдралыг хангах боломжтой байвал - If you could understand the meaning (lit. If you understand the meaning possibility)

Using the Conditional Mood

The conditional mood is used to express politeness when making requests. For example, if you want to ask someone to do something, you can use the conditional mood to make your request sound more polite.
