	The conditional mood corresponds mostly to "would" or "should" or to the past subjunctive in English. The potential mood describes things that might possibly happen, though its probability is not certain, similarly to English "may/might", and it is always formed agglutinatively in compound verbs. The imperfect forms of these moods are used to indicate present or future events, while perfect is used in sentences with verbs in the past tense. Compound verbs form differently: ''āsēni šeiteviu, tāpahtēlki'' - "If the weather is fine, we will go for a walk", where ''šeiteviu'' is formed from the adjective ''šeiti'' "fine, clear" by adding a suffix ''-evi'' meaning "to may be".

	The pluperfect (almost the same as English past perfect) uses the auxillary verb ''~~īkā~~'', which can be translated as "to have been/done" in English, and and an infinitive V of verbs, which in this case is similar to an active participle, like English "talking".

	These are conditional and potential infinitives and are short forms of conditional and potential clauses, for example ''pelcin'' - "if to sing (imperfect)" and ''pelcihēn'' - "if to have sung (perfect)". Endings ''-anset'' and ''-anšōn'' are used for infintive IX, but its usage is uncommon in modern day speech. But infinitive VIII is seldom used, like in ''āsēni hārācin, tolātelki dāva'' "weather permitting, we will be there in time. (''āsēni šeiteviu'' - "if the weather is fine" can also be used instead, but literally it would be translated as "weather may (or may not) be fine").

	The infintive X is obsolete in modern day speech and can often be found only in one verb ''jiedi'' "to know", the infinitive of which is ''jīnki'' and means "as far as it is known". Personal endings can be added to it (this feature developed later after the division of the Carpathian languages), the most commonly used ''jīngin'' "as far as I know" or ''~~jinginka~~'' "as far as we know".
