What is the Conditional Mood?

The conditional mood is used to express a hypothetical situation or a wish. It is used to talk about something that might happen in the future, or something that could have happened in the past.

For example, if you wanted to say "I would go to the beach if it was sunny", you would use the conditional mood.

How to Form the Conditional Mood

The conditional mood is formed by adding the suffix "-sa" to the verb stem. For example, the verb "go" becomes "gosam" in the conditional mood.

The suffix "-sa" can also be added to nouns and adjectives. For example, the word "beautiful" becomes "beautifulsa" in the conditional mood.
