Irrealis moods (abbreviated IRR) are the main set of grammatical moods that indicate that a certain situation or action is not known to have happened as the speaker is talking.
Every language has a formula for the unreal. The Indigenous languages of the Pacific Northwest have as many as five levels of "unreality."
Famous quotes containing the word mood:
“I never have been, am not now, and probably never shall be, in a mood of harassing the people, either North or South.”
