|
||||
conditional events while marking them as such. This translates into
|
||||
several strategies.
|
||||
|
||||
The first strategy adds /-(u)sk(a)-/ between the verb root and its
|
||||
The first strategy adds /-(u)þ(a)-/ between the verb root and its
|

indicative declension. It marks conditionals the speakers estimates to
|

be unlikely.

The second strategy, which is the default strategy and holds a neutral
|
||||
stance towards how likely the hypothetical situation is, uses the verb
|
||||
/skal(a)/ as an auxilliary in the conditional mood.

The third stategy, which indicates some confidence by the speaker that
|
||||
the situation is likely, is to use the verb /man(u)/ the same way as
|
||||
/skal(a)/ is used in the second strategy. This strategy is also
|
||||
sometimes used to express a softer future, though one that still might
|
||||
not happen.

**** Optative :noexport:
|

The optative mood serves to express wishes. There are two main
|
||||
strategies to express the optative mood in Eittlandic.
|
||||
|
||||
The first one is a syntactic construction using the verb /vilja/ with a
|
||||
nominal phrase or verbal phrase with a verb in the infinitive mood
|
||||
being the wished element. It denotes a wish rather than a want.
|
||||
|
||||

Ek vil far.
|

|

I wish I could go.

|

The second strategy is a morphological mood of the verb formed by
|
||||
inserting -(i)nn(i)- between the verb root and its subjunctive
|
||||
declension.
|
||||
|
