====Conditional====
The conditional mood is formed from the past tense stem, "''-by-''" and a personal ending coming at the end. These new endings ("-bym", "-byste" etc.) are in fact clitics, which are not always attached to the verb, for example, forming a question, the clitic is almost always attached to the question word, rather then to the verb, like in ''Debym to poszukala?'' ("Where should I look it for?"). When forming past conditional, the clitic is always attached to the auxillary verb ''buty'', if there are no other clarifying words: ''Szukala bulabym u ľiśi'' ("I should've looked in the forest"), but ''Hdybym szukala bula w ľiśi to najszlabym'' ("If I've looked in the forest, I would have found it". Here ''hdybym'' "If I would" is a conjunction).
