What is the Conditional Mood?

The conditional mood is used to express a hypothetical situation or a condition that must be fulfilled in order for something else to happen. It is often used to express wishes, requests, and possibilities.

In Assamese, the conditional mood is formed by adding the suffix -তে to the verb stem. For example, the verb stem কর (to do) becomes করতে (would do).

Examples of the Conditional Mood

Here are some examples of the conditional mood in Assamese:

• আমি যদি সময় থাকে, তাহলে আমি যাত্রা করতে। (If I had time, I would travel.)
• আমি যদি আমার বন্ধু হতে পারি, তাহলে আমি তার সঙ্গে খেলতে। (If I could find my friend, I would play with him.)
• আমি যদি আমার প্রিয় কাজ করতে পারি, তাহলে আমি সেই কাজ করতে। (If I could do my favorite job, I would do it.)

Other Uses of the Conditional Mood

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

For example, instead of saying "আমি তোমাকে এই কাজ করতে দিবেন" (I will ask you to do this job), you can say "আমি তোমাকে এই কাজ করতে দিতে চাই" (I would like you to do this job).
