Mood: mood
Ind: indicative
The indicative can be considered the default mood. A verb in indicative merely states that something happens, has happened or will happen, without adding any attitude of the speaker.
Examples
- [sv] de kompletterar varandra “they complement each other”
- [sv] vi behöver “we need”
Imp: imperative
The speaker uses imperative to order or ask the addressee to perform the action of the verb.
Examples
- [sv] låt oss “let us”
- [sv] jämför dem “compare them”
Sub: subjunctive / conjunctive
In modern Swedish the subjunctive is mainly used in certain fixed expressions and as a conditional form. It is also occassionally used in the more traditional sense, expressing actions that are subjective or otherwise uncertain in subordinate clauses.
Examples
- [sv] Leve Sverige! “Long live Sweden!”
- [sv] det vore önskvärt “it would be desirable”
- [sv] som om jag vore försumlig “as if I were neglectful”
