Deliberative mood (abbreviated DEL) is a grammatical mood that asks whether the speaker should do something, e. g. "Shall I go to the market?"
The Afar language has a deliberative mood, as in aboo "Shall I do (it)?", with the suffix -oo denoting the deliberative.
Famous quotes containing the word mood:
“Sometimes a musical phrase would perfectly sum up
The mood of a moment. One of those lovelorn sonatas
For wind instruments was riding past on a solemn white horse.
Everybody wondered who the new arrival was.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
