Formation[edit | edit source]

Tense[edit | edit source]

The conditional mood does not have its own tense. Instead, it is used with other tenses to express a hypothetical situation or an event that could happen in the future. For example, the present tense can be used to express a wish or desire:

  • Ndagutaba - I wish I could write

The past tense can be used to express a hypothetical situation:

  • Ndagutabaga - If I had written

The future tense can be used to express an event that could happen in the future:

  • Ndagutabarize - I might write

Negation[edit | edit source]

The negation of the conditional mood is formed by adding the prefix si- to the verb stem. For example, the negative form of the verb "to write" is sigutaba.

Examples[edit | edit source]

Here are some examples of the conditional mood in Rundi:

  • Ndagutaba - I wish I could write
  • Ndagutabaga - If I had written
  • Ndagutabarize - I might write
  • Sigutaba - I won't write
