===Conditional sentences===

Not having a conditional mood, unlike most other Romance languages, Rumonian uses the indicative ~~in factual sentences, otherwise~~ the subjunctive, in ~~both~~ clauses. The if-clause is introduced by ''si'':

Not having a conditional mood, unlike most other Romance languages, Rumonian uses the indicative or the subjunctive mood in conditional clauses. The if-clause is introduced by ''si'':

{{Gloss

Line 943:

| IPA = [si ˈfusi ku‿ˈfami ˈvɔðu a‿ˈdʑɔɲa]

| gloss = if. be.SUBJ.PAST.~~2SG~~. with. hunger.SG go.IND.PRES.1SG. to.DEF.FEMM.SG. restaurant.SG.

| gloss = if. be.SUBJ.PAST.1SG. with. hunger.SG go.IND.PRES.1SG. to.DEF.FEMM.SG. restaurant.SG.

| translation = If I were hungry, I'd go to the restaurant.

}}

Line 957:

| translation = If we'll have [enough] money, we'll buy a new car.

}}

Past speculative conditionals use the pluperfect subjunctive in the if-clause and the past subjunctive in the main one:

{{Gloss

| phrase = Si heri sisa fussi cu fami, issi â jonya.

| IPA = [si ˈçeri ˈsisa‿ˌfusi ku‿ˈfami isi a‿ˈdʑɔɲa]

| gloss = if. yesterday. been.PART.PASS-FEMM.SG. be.SUBJ.PAST.1SG. with. hunger.SG go.SUBJ.PAST.1SG. to.DEF.FEMM.SG. restaurant.SG.

| translation = If yesterday I had been hungry, I'd have gone to the restaurant.

}}

{{Gloss

| phrase = Si atent hoibissil, viḍissimu-n.

| IPA = [si aˈtent χwaˈbisiɬ viðiˈsimun]

| gloss = if. waited.PART.PASS.MASC.SG. have.SUBJ.PAST.3SG. see.SUBJ.PAST-1PL.SUBJ=1PL.OBJ.

| translation = If he had waited, we would have seen each other.
