There are nine moods in Drauskáni: conditional-subjunctive, debitive, emphatic, firm, hypothetical, interrogative, jovial, pleased, and secretive. Unless otherwise specified, the default moods are both indicative and jovial.
Conditional-subjunctive mood is used when discussing hypothetical or conditional events, both when discussed apart and simultaneously. When in this mood, the interrogative article “tìlȑdè” should immediately proceed the noun or pronoun in question. When this noun or pronoun in the subject, it forms a specific clause with itself, “tìlȑdè,” and a verb clause, which all comes before the fulfillment of the conditional clause. This is used when the speaker stresses what he thinks would happen in a situation, using the auxiliary verb “wae”. Any object of the conditional verb is placed between the appropriate auxiliary verb and the verb proper.
Conditional-subjunctive Example: “Tìlȑdè Geeri pűorsìp, ćhèk wae pűoradni. If Gary is hungry, he will eat (something).”
Debitive mood is used to express the desired result of an action within the conditional-subjunctive framework. This is used to stress what the speaker wishes to happen in a situation, using the auxiliary verb “sűae.”
Debitive Example: “Tìlȑdè Geeri pűorsìp, ćhèk sűae palfèn pűoradni. If Gary is hungry, he should eat meat.”
Emphatic mood, similar to emphatic present tense, yet considered distinct to this unused tense, is used to emphasize obvious information or to hyperbolize a situation. It is most often used to affirm a statement or tell a story. This mood utilizes the auxiliary verb “shae” and follows the rules of auxiliary verbs and past, present, and future tenses. It can also be used in a way similar to perfect tense, though Drauskáni makes no distinction between these two. This usage of emphatic mood emphasizes that a certain action was done at a time relatively recent to the time being discussed. When used in this way, verbs require conjugation using normal temporal tense suffixes.
Emphatic Example: “Ćhot qoks wonribo? Sur, ćhot qoks wonribo shae. Did she (really) drink acid? Yes, she really drank acid.”
Firm mood, similar to the more common exclamatory mood, is used to get a point across and be serious. It is most often used to outline a serious statement among an otherwise joking or lighthearted environment. It can also be used to signal frustration and annoyance or the change of topics to a more serious kind. This mood utilizes the suffixes “-lae”, “-lou”, and “-li” instead of normal temporal tense suffixes for present, past, and future, respectively.
Firm Example: “Ćhoshen mu muter haidàntìlli. I will finish my work, Mom.”
Hypothetical mood is very similar to conditional-subjunctive mood, and, in simple terms, is a past form of it. Hypothetical mood is used to discuss events that transpired one way but that instead transpired in a different way. When the speaker stresses what he wished had happened in a situation, use the auxiliary verb “sűo.” When the speaker stresses no opinion in the matter, use the auxiliary verb “to.”
Hypothetical Example 1: “Dain sűo tlapofou oqtu kűaudei ćhodhi gati. You should have run away instead of going among that group of girls.”
Hypothetical Example 2: “Ćha dainadni to! It could have cut you!”
Imperative mood is nonexistant in Drauskáni. It is considered synonymous with vocative case and does not affect verbs in any way.
Interrogative mood is virtually nonexistant in Drauskáni. A question is only denoted by a slight rise in tone at the end of a sentence. Interrogative sentences always begin with an interrogative article.
Jovial (emotive 1) mood is used to emphasize that a premise or situation is lighthearted or done with a positive attitude. Though informal, it can be stressed in the same way as emphatic mood, but instead using the auxiliary verb “hae.” Jovial tense is most often used to emphasize that a statement is sarcastic or a joke. Combining jovial and emphatic or firm mood will lead to perceived immaturity or incontinence.
Jovial Example: “Ow, mu hae ćhèk fìćhi! Oh yeah, I totally love him romantically!”
Pleased (emotive 2) mood modifies adverbs and verbs with the “m-” or “mj-” prefixes and denotes a contentedness, lightheartedness, or happiness within a creature as it performs an action. Combining pleased and jovial moods can display the good intentions of the subject of the sentence.
Pleased Example: “Ćhadhi rìqtdhi ćhadhitly mèstitèskànzìdhbo. They eagerly tore down their own laws.”
Secretive mood, a subcategory of the direct evidential mood found in other languages, is used to emphasize information that the person who is being addressed was previously unaware of. It is most often used when answering a direct question and when in vocative case. It can be condescending to use this case when not answering a direct question or if the information was obvious. This tense utilizes the auxiliary verb “dai” and does not require verb conjugation.
Secretive Example: “Dainter ćhoshenfrèlùth dai. Your mother already left.” ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
