Overview

The conditional mood is formed by adding the suffixes -ам/-ем/-им/-ӯм to the verb stem. The suffixes are added depending on the last letter of the verb stem. For example, if the verb stem ends in a consonant, then the suffix -ам is added. If the verb stem ends in a vowel, then the suffix -ем is added.

Examples

• Verb stem ending in a consonant: дохтан (to read) → дохтанам (I would read)
• Verb stem ending in a vowel: духтан (to write) → духтанем (I would write)

Usage

The conditional mood is used to express a hypothetical situation or an action that could happen in the future. It is also used to express wishes and desires.

• Агар ман бо духтани китоб дошта бошам, ман бо он дохтанам. (If I had enough time to write a book, I would read it.)
• Ман агар бо даромадам, бо духтани поён доштам. (If I had money, I would write poems.)
