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:
“Craving that old sweet oneness yet dreading engulfment, wishing to be our mother’s and yet be our own, we stormily swing from mood to mood, advancing and retreating—the quintessential model of two-mindedness.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
