===Conditional=== | |||
The conditional, ''konditjonaal'' in Aarlaansk, is used fast as in English, f.ex. to be polite or to express probability. As for the future, the conditional is formed with the verb ''ijr'', but it is used its past form: | |||
{| {{Table/bluetable}} style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle" | |||
!'''Person''' | |||
!'''Zer''' | |||
!'''Haar''' | |||
|- | |||
!'''eg''' | |||
|euw zer | |||
|euw haar | |||
|- | |||
!'''toe''' / '''is''' | |||
|euft zer | |||
|euft haar | |||
|- | |||
!'''noes''' / '''woes''' / '''ïe''' | |||
|iern zer | |||
|iern haar | |||
|} | |||
It exists also a synthetic form that is no longer used in the speech and that can be found only in poetry and old books. This form is obtained by adding to the infinitive the endings of the past of the verb ''haar'' without ''h-'': | |||
{| {{Table/bluetable}} style="text-align:center; vertical-align:middle" | |||
!'''Person''' | |||
!'''Zer''' | |||
!'''Haar''' | |||
|- | |||
!'''eg''' | |||
|zerru | |||
|haru | |||
|- | |||
!'''toe''' / '''is''' | |||
|zerruut | |||
|haruut | |||
|- | |||
!'''noes''' / '''woes''' / '''ïe''' | |||
|zerruun | |||
|haruun | |||
|} | |||
This is true for all verbs. The conditional can be found in conditional clauses of 2nd and 3rd type: | |||
* ''Se eg euw zer rijch, eg euw pretjer uin magen masie'' - If I were rich, I'd buy a big house; | |||
* ''Se eg euw haar zit rijch, eg euw haar pretit uin magen masie'' - If I had been rich, I'd have bought a big house. | |||
Please note that the conditional is used in the protasis also instead of the subjunctive. In conditional clauses of 1st type it is used the present in the protasis and the future in the apodosis: | |||
* ''Se hij nijf est dors hij zoel, ëe waadt vunder-ze'' - If the snow is under the sun, it will melt. | |||
The conditional is also used to express the "future in the past", ex.: | |||
* ''Is sched pas ke id euw vijr'' - He didn't know that it would happen. | |||
