====The optative mood====

The Chlouvānem optative has two main uses: as an expression for wishes (in exclamations), and as a form roughly corresponding to the English verbs "should" and "ought to". Due to these meanings, it is also a common form of polite imperative.

The use of optative forms, given this explanation, is fairly clear; some examples follow.

: ''tami paṣalīleinė!'' "may (s)he survive!"

: ''pū glidemæh āñjulā jeivau!'' "if only I had been there!"

: ''samin nanea domane gu tiaineran ša.'' "the kids shouldn't stay in that room."

: ''yąlenų ānat kārvātiu valtfårsadreininilь.'' "after a meal you ought to burn <small>(lit. "to turn on")</small> incense<ref>Burning incense after meals is a common tradition across most of the Chlouvānem world</ref>."

: ''lālis yacė nami, tamaireinildṛši spa.'' "please sit down."
