Overview[edit | edit source]
The conditional mood is used to express a hypothetical situation or a future event that is dependent on another condition. It is also used to express wishes or polite requests. In Afar, the conditional mood is formed by adding the suffix -e to the verb stem.
Formation[edit | edit source]
The formation of the conditional mood is quite simple. To form the conditional mood, simply add the suffix -e to the verb stem. For example, the verb "to write" is written as qor- in the present tense. To form the conditional mood, the suffix -e is added to the verb stem, resulting in qore-.

- Qore- - "I would write"
- Jire- - "You would go"
- Kire- - "He/she/it would come"
