Hi Norwegian Bokmål learners! 😊
In today's lesson, we will be discussing the conditional mood in Norwegian Bokmål. The conditional mood is used to express a hypothetical situation or an event that could happen in the future. It is also used to express wishes and polite requests.
Forming the Conditional Mood
The conditional mood is formed by adding the suffix -de/-te to the stem of the verb. For regular verbs, the stem is the infinitive form minus the -e ending. For example, the verb å gå (to go) has the stem gå- and the conditional form would be gåde.
For irregular verbs, the stem is usually the same as the infinitive form. For example, the verb å være (to be) has the stem være- and the conditional form would be værede.
Examples
- Infinitive: å gå (to go)
- Conditional: gåde
- Infinitive: å være (to be)
- Conditional: værede
Using the Conditional Mood
The conditional mood is used to express a hypothetical situation or an event that could happen in the future. It is also used to express wishes and polite requests.
Hypothetical Situations
When expressing a hypothetical situation, the conditional mood is used with the word hvis (if). For example:
- Hvis jeg hadde mer tid, ville jeg lære mer norsk. (If I had more time, I would learn more Norwegian.)
Wishes and Polite Requests
When expressing a wish or a polite request, the conditional mood is used with the word ville (would). For example:
- Jeg ville sette pris på det hvis du kunne hjelpe meg. (I would appreciate it if you could help me.)
