The conditional mood is used to express a hypothetical situation or a wish. It is also used to express politeness. In this lesson, we will look at how to form the conditional mood in Western Frisian and when to use it.
Forming the Conditional Mood[edit | edit source]
The conditional mood is formed by adding the suffix "-e" to the verb stem. For example, the verb "to go" is "gean" in the present tense. In the conditional mood, it becomes "geane".

The conditional mood is used to express a hypothetical situation or a wish. For example:
- As jo hjoed nei de winkel gongen, soe ik jo helpe. (If you went to the store today, I would help you.)
- As ik ryk wie, soe ik de wrâld reizgje. (If I were rich, I would travel the world.)
