The subjunctive is used after most conjunctions, such as ''ent'' "in order to, cf. Latin ''ut''". Example: ''Pambúgim ent somalam túnayam húóm.'' "I'll stay in order to hear the entire speech." | The subjunctive is used after most conjunctions, such as ''ent'' "in order to, cf. Latin ''ut''". Example: ''Pambúgim ent somalam túnayam húóm.''

====Conditional==== | |||
The conditional (also called hypothetical) is used to form conditional sentences; unlike e.g. Romance languages, but like neighboring Turkish and Azerbaijani, the Lifashian conditional is used in the protasis, e.g. ''Paláng sahét '''lásem''', mey Ispániyam wakánsom etinenggim.'' "'''If I had''' enough money, I'd go on holiday in Spain." | |||
The conditional is formed by adding ''-se-'' to the root with the past endings. Examples: | |||
: ''bersem'' (root ''ber-'') "if I brought", ''berses'', ''berset'', ''berseme'', ''bersete'', ''berseát''. | |||
There is also a past conditional (cf. "if I had had"), which is formed with the ''-it'' participle and the conditional of ''esyim'', e.g. ''berit búsem'' "if I had brought". See e.g. ''Letám résy mé '''det búset''', tám mosábakam esejme.'' "Had she not been injured, we'd have won the match." | |||
