According to my own analysis, there are three moods (indicative, conditional, imperative), but I wonder what to do with my supines... I use them in many different ways:
Code: Select all
------- USE 1: "in order to"
mašk-im-an koro (nak) šayo=š žanj-anti
go-1SG-IPFV there (to) 2SG.DAT=to see-SPN
Meaning: "I go there in order to see you."
------- USE 2: Gerundive I
kwa-mi-š-an sjo=š žanj-anti
COP-1SG-Ø-IPFV.IND DET.SG.DAT=to see-SPN
Meaning: "I must see that" (= I am obliged to see)
------- USE 3: Gerundive II
kwa-mi-š-ai sjo=š žanj-anti
COP-1SG-Ø-COND DET.SG.DAT=to see-SPN
Meaning: "I should see (= It's necessary)
------- USE 4: Accusative + Supine
yež-im-an šai mič-iwa
want-1SG-IPFV 2SG.ACC eat-INF
Meaning: "I want to eat you."
yež-im-an šai mič-anti
want-1SG-IPFV 2SG.ACC eat-SPN
Meaning: "I want you to eat."
yež-im-an woi šayo=š mič-anti
want-1SG-IPFV 3SG.ACC.masc 2SG.DAT=to eat-SPN
Meaning: "I want him to eat you."
1. Is my terminology correct or would you use different names for my supines and gerundives?
2. Would you classify them as moods? (I think supines are rather infinite verb forms, but I'm not sure about the gerundives...)
(BTW don't be surprised about the forms "šayoš" and "sjoš" --- accusative objects of finite verbs and infinitives become prepositional objects of supines and gerunds... "ša + DAT" is like a "sub-ordinated accusative case" to avoid confusions in the syntax)
