: ''yąlenų ānat kārvātiu valtfårsadreininilь.'' "after a meal you ought to burn (lit. "to turn on") 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."

====The subjunctive mood====

The subjunctive mood has a variety of uses, most commonly when followed or introduced by a certain particle. The bare subjunctive, however, has a supine meaning:

: ''šunilitieldā, yaivei tamišīti.'' "it has been put there for everybody to look at it."

: ''luvāmom dāmo yambrānu lgutītinilь.'' "(s)he went to the market to buy pears."

Some verbs, such as ''nīdhyuʔake'' (to call for), usually require the subjunctive:

: ''nīnilьdhyuʔo karthāgo bīdrīti.'' "(s)he called for Carthage to be destroyed."

The verbs for "to study" (''pāṭṭaruke'', ''pāṭṭarudṛke'', ''kaminairīveke'') and "to learn" (interior forms of ''mišake''; ''nairīveke'') only need a supine-meaning subjunctive when they mean "in order to know something, in order to be able to". With the meaning "in order to become something", a noun in translative case is used:

: ''fildenī āndṛke munatiam ejulā kaminairīveyu.'' "I study here in order to be able to create games."

: ''fildenāndarlilan kaminairīveyu.'' "I study in order to become a game creator."

Verbs like ''lelke'' (to choose (stem: ''len-'')), its synonym ''vāgdulke'' (''vād-kul-''), or ''mulke'' (to know how to (stem: ''mun-'', highest grade ablaut in the present) can use invariably the subjunctive or the infinitive; usually, the subjunctive is used when there is a stated subject that is different from an impersonal phrase:

: ''tami jilde maunalieh.'' "we know how to do it."

: ''yakaliyātamei āndrīti elena.'' "it has been chosen to have it built by Your honorable company."

: ''tami šubīdṛke lenanājanilь.'' "we decided to tear it down."
