 **//Subjunctive mood//** ([[abbreviations|abbreviated]] as SJV) is the [[grammar_mood|grammatical mood]] that is used to indicate various states of unreality, such as opinions, possibility, things that not occurred yet or things that already did not happen. It is mostly used in subordinate clauses, in conditional clauses (after "if") and after relative "that", however the latter may be sometimes expressed with [[grammar_gerundive|Gerundives]] instead. Subjunctive mood may occur in simple sentences too. **//Subjunctive mood//** ([[abbreviations|abbreviated]] as SJV) is the [[grammar_mood|grammatical mood]] that is used to indicate various states of unreality, such as opinions, possibility, things that not occurred yet or things that already did not happen.

-In [[Nûrlâm]] subjunctive mood is formed by adding suffix //-ulg// in place of markers of [[grammar_tense|tense]] and nonfinite forms. It may be considered as special tense, similar to English or French "future-in-the-past", like adding English auxiliary verb "would" before the verb, however it differs from English and may be applied to modal verbs (e.g. to transform "can" into "could"). Both subjective and objective [[pronouns]] may be added to the verb in subjunctive mood. In compound predicate (modal verb + infinitive) objective pronoun joins the infinitive.

Both subjective and objective [[pronouns]] may be added to the verb in subjunctive mood. But subjunctive mood does not require 3rd person nominative suffixes "-â(t)" or "-û(t)". In compound predicate (modal verb + infinitive) objective pronoun joins the infinitive. Examples:
   * "I would bring the ring into Mordor" = "Dathrak__ulg__ nazgum Uzgbûrzishi"   * "I would bring the ring into Mordor" = "Dathrak__ulg__ nazgum Uzgbûrzishi"
   * "You could hurt yourself!" = "Fipâsh__ulg__ rul__ut__îm"   * "You could hurt yourself!" = "Fipâsh__ulg__ rul__ut__îm"
