The subjunctive is used like the infinitive and imperative in other languages (e.g. ''stilocamab!'' 'Sing!'). It can also be used to indicate uncertainty, like "may" or "might".


Yes-no questions are formed by adding the question particle ''pegol'' to the subjunctive: ''zenazumab pegol?'' (Did he go?). In spoken Clofabosin ''-mab pegol'' is often shortened to ''-mapel'' or ''-pel''. Wh-questions do ''not'' use this ending: ''cesin gliserotin(avir)?'' = What language is this?

The copular verb ''cytavir'' (often shortened to ''tavir'' in colloquial Clofabosin) may also be used. For example: ''endin voprafenavir'' and ''endin voprafen cytavir'' both mean "I am a teacher". Using ''cytavir'' is necessary when using an oblique case NP as a predicate: ''Endin funanetamib cytavir.'' 'I am in my bedroom.'
