Formation of the Conditional Mood[edit | edit source]
The conditional mood is formed by adding the suffixes त्याग् (tyāg) or त्यागे (tyāge) to the root of the verb. The suffix त्याग् (tyāg) is used for the first person singular and plural, and the third person singular and plural. The suffix त्यागे (tyāge) is used for the second person singular and plural.
Examples[edit | edit source]
- First Person Singular: गच्छत्याग् (gacchatyāg) - I may go
- Second Person Singular: गच्छत्यागे (gacchatyāge) - You may go
- Third Person Singular: गच्छत्याग् (gacchatyāg) - He/She/It may go
- First Person Plural: गच्छत्याग् (gacchatyāg) - We may go
- Second Person Plural: गच्छत्यागे (gacchatyāge) - You may go

Usage of the Conditional Mood[edit | edit source]
The conditional mood is used to express a hypothetical situation or an event that may or may not happen in the future. It is also used to express a wish or a desire.
For example, if you want to say "I wish I could go to the beach", you would use the conditional mood: मी समुद्रात जाण्याची श्रेय गच्छत्याग् (mī samudrāt jāṇyācī śrey gacchatyāg).
The conditional mood can also be used to express a hypothetical situation or an event that may or may not happen in the future. For example, if you want to say "He might go to the beach", you would use the conditional mood: त्याला समुद्रात जाण्याची शक्यता आहे (tyālā samudrāt jāṇyācī śakyatā āhe).
